This time we will go to Okunoshima Island, Hiroshima, an island full of rabbits. The island is inhabited by 400 wild rabbits. This time we will go in winter, but are the rabbits active? Please watch until the end. Kurashiki, Okayama. A town where traditional townscape still remains.
It takes 2 hours from here by train. The peaceful scenery continues. You can see a beautiful sea view after this. Behind the houses, Beautiful Seto Inland Sea view. Then I arrive at Tadanoumi station, Hiroshima. There is a port about 5 minutes’ walk from here.
From here, you can take a ferry to Okunoshima Island. Nostalgic scenery of the river, railroad crossing, sea, and the island. A short walk from here… A busy and stylish store. You can buy a ferry ticket here. Rabbit design. A big picture of a rabbit. Let’s go inside and buy a ferry ticket.
Round trip $5 (720yen) Rabbit food is also sold. You can’t buy it after crossing to Okunojima, so you have to buy it here. It costs $1.5 (200yen) per bag. I bought three bags. Various other rabbit goods are sold here. Food using lemon, a specialty of Setouchi
There is also a stamp to commemorate boarding the ferry. Let’s leave the store. Looking at the sea, beautiful sea. It’s time to get on the ferry A scene of the Japanese countryside with fishing boats lined up. The ferry has arrived. A small boat over there depending on the time of day.
Or the pink boat over there. Now let’s actually get on the ferry. The window has a rabbit design. The ferry is about to depart. Behind us is the beautiful scenery of Tadanoumi. Okunoshima island comes into view. I have arrived at Okunoshima island. Immediately, I found rabbits Lots of rabbits here, too.
And another place. A lot of rabbits are eating food. Rabbit came this way. So cute! Lots of rabbits here, too. The desk and chair are also occupied by rabbits. No sign of retreating even if someone comes! There is also a black rabbit. Here is a brown rabbit. This rabbit does not move.
Where is this rabbit going? It jumped and went to the other side. This rabbit is chewing cabbage. You can bring in cabbage and give it to the rabbit. If you want to buy some last minute, there is a supermarket about 5 minutes away from Tadanoumi station. They are so fluffy and cute!
Though other rabbits will come close to them to steal their cabbages, Failure. Rabbits are everywhere on the island. And when they see a human… They come running for food. And then another one appears. Even when I back away… They desperately follow me. And then they stands up and appeals for food.
And then they follow me again for food. And again it stood up and appealed. I don’t feed it yet. Then, I feed the rabbit with food I bought at the store. Here, too, they appeal as much as they can. Let’s feed it. Rabbits gather at once. A fierce struggle.
A fierce struggle. Adorable! Not only the rabbits, but the beauty of the sea is wonderful. What are these? These are rabbit ear sound collectors. It says to hold it to your ear. From here you can hear the chirping of birds and the sound of waves and wind.
It says that rabbits are weak animals, so their ears are enlarged in order to find their enemies quickly. And this view of the sea and mountains is the best. The rabbits come as soon as they find me. A rabbit is chasing back another rabbit And at my feet, waiting to be fed.
A rabbit is chasing another rabbit. How many times do they do this? The rabbit comes again. It’s grooming itself. Very cute! There are holes all around what are these holes? what are these holes? Actually, this is a rabbit’s nest. A rabbit comes out of the hole.
Yes, the rabbit on this island is a rabbit called European rabbit. They live in holes they dig and make nests. Okunojima is now famous as an island of rabbits, but it also has a dark history. Until the end of the Pacific War, there was a factory for the production of poison gas.
The island was unknown except to military personnel and was erased from the map. After this road… And here are the ruins of a gun battery. Here, too, are rabbits… It was used not only for howitzers, but also for poison gas products and raw materials. This is a power plant.
And this is the power plant to produce electricity to manufacture poison gas. And there is also an air-raid shelter used during the war. The Poison Gas Museum tells visitors about the many victims who died in the process of producing poison gas and the tragedy of war.
The museum exhibits materials related to poison gas so that this history will never be repeated. Now it is time to feed the rabbit again. They flock to the food. They are so cute. When they run out of food, they stand up and appeal. When the food comes, they jump on it again.
They don’t even notice if I place them elsewhere. Seeing the feeders, another rabbit comes by. The rabbits are chasing each other. A cute rabbit standing up. And another rabbits. A whitish rabbit. A rabbit drinking water. A rabbit hiding in the leaves. Let’s feed the rabbits that are chasing me.
A lot of rabbits are gathering. We find a group of rabbits eating food, so let’s feed them too. Little by little, they come closer to us. But most of the rabbits stay where they are. The rabbits are running energetically. There is a rabbit that looks like a squirrel.
The way it ate was very characteristic. There is also a rabbit in the bicycle parking lot. There is also a rabbit in the bicycle parking lot. There is a rabbit that is very stretched out. It looks comfortable. It is almost time to say goodbye to the rabbits.
Why are there so many rabbits here on Okunoshima island? The rabbits that were kept at the elementary school have become wild and bred. It is said that a nearby elementary school released eight rabbits, From there, the number of rabbits continued to increase,
It is said that there are now 400 rabbits on the island! We have a little time left, so we feed them on the way home. They stand up and appeal if we don’t feed them. When we feed them, they jump on the food. This is also a familiar sight.
The rabbits hurry to follow me. When we feed one rabbit, other rabbits come too. Some rabbits are drinking water… They noticed me and came to ask for food. Rabbits jump out from under the bridge. There are so many rabbits! After this, I am going to the ferry pier.
I am near the ferry terminal, but I still have time to play with the rabbits. They are fighting each other for food. But in the end, they are good friends. They run around energetically. They are fighting over cabbage. Anyway, they are desperate for cabbage.
It’s time to go home, so I’m taking the ferry. This is goodbye to Rabbit Island. I would like to come back again because I didn’t have enough time this time. This is the end of this video. Please subscribe to our channel and give us a high rating. Thank you very much!
