Rabbit island!

Went to Hiroshima for 3 days from the 18th of Feb. to the 20th of Feb. and on the second day went to visit Okunoshima aka Rabbit island, so prepare for pictures of bunnies!

I loved Rabbit Island and would love to go back. As soon as you step onto the island you are surrounded by bunnies, and as you walk around the island they will jump out of nowhere to greet you (wanting food, but w.e).
All of the bunnies were really nice, most of them let you pet them and one even liked being petted - it would just lie down and let you continue as long as you wanted.
Before going to the island I bought some pellets for them at family mart, and had enough to feed the rabbits all day and it was a lot of fun.
There are not just rabbits on this island though, since it used to be a military island where they produced poisonous gas to use in wars. Because of this there are a few old buildings left, and a museum showing how the island used to be, and how the people that worked with the gas ended up suffering various diseases. It's a dark past, but it's hard to not feel happy even as you are walking around the island looking what used to be poisonous gas chaimbers etc and learning about the island. Just as you are looking into what's left of a storehouse, feeling a bit gloomy, you see a bunny in there eating grass. As soon as it notices you it jumps out of the house to greet you and get some food. It was lovely.

Funny thing is, if the island didn't have such a past it could've easily turned into a great vacation spot because the nature is great, there are lot's of nice beaches and the bunnies are awesome!
There was a hotel at the island, and with it rundown tennis courts and stuff, which leads me to believe that they might have tried that once upon a time without a lot of success. It must be hard getting into vacation mode with so many buildings around showing you what the island used to be like..

Anyway, I would recommend bunny island to anyone remotely interested in the idea, because I loved it. I have never owned a bunny, and haven't ever thought of buying one, but after visiting this island I think anyone will start longing for their own bunny, haha.
