2025 Takehara Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Ōkunoshima おおくのしま The hopping bunnies are waiting for you on the island. It takes about an hour to walk around the island, and along the way, bunnies will occasionally hop over to you. They are incredibly cute! The bunnies are not very shy and might even stand on your feet. Their tiny paws are just too adorable! 🥺 You can also rent bicycles on the island, but walking is quite pleasant. Before coming to Ōkunoshima, remember to buy some leafy greens or rabbit food. There is also food available for purchase at the ticket counter near Tadanoumi Port. It takes about two and a half hours to get from Hiroshima City to Tadanoumi Port, so it's recommended to visit Ōkunoshima in the morning and then head to Onomichi in the afternoon for a stroll.

The ultimate power spot, Rabbit Island🐇🤍 It's a small island that can be reached by ferry in about 15 minutes from Tadanoumi Port, which is about 30 minutes by car from Hiroshima Airport👒 Tadanoumi Port is already cute before boarding the ferry🥺💗 There are lots of rabbits, such as pink postboxes, rabbit-shaped mirrors, and manholes with rabbit pictures on them, so be sure to look for them😆🫧 The ferry costs 360 yen one way, and you can purchase tickets only in cash from the ticket machine✍️ After a quick voyage to Okunoshima, I walked along the sea and found my first rabbit🐰💞 I was so absorbed in feeding the cabbage I brought with me that I found rabbits everywhere👀✨ About 15 minutes' walk from the pier where the ferry arrived, you will find the first rabbit in the photo. There are rabbit ear sound collectors🐇 It's super cute and famous as a photo spot, but when you put your ear to it, you can hear the sounds of nature, such as the sea, the wind, and the chirping of birds𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 I heard that cabbage is popular for rabbit food, so I brought it with me, but rabbit food (like flakes) can be purchased near the ferry ticket machine at Tadami Port🎵 Recently, the number of crows has increased because of food left behind by tourists, and the rabbits have been attacked by the crows, so the rabbit population has decreased, and I actually encountered a rabbit covered in wounds😔😔 It's very sad, isn't it😢 If you go, please be sure to follow the manners and take care of both nature and rabbits😌🍀 #HiroshimaTourism#Okunoshima #RemoteIsland #Rabbit #777

Okunoshima should be a holy land in the minds of many rabbit slaves, at least that’s what I saw and felt during this trip. Even though it is an isolated island, the transportation is not convenient, and the crowds of pilgrims still rush to it. Okunoshima is one of the many islands in the Seto Inland Sea of ​​Hiroshima. It is about 3 kilometers offshore from Tadami Town, Takehara City. This place is a small and remote fishing port and is known as the "island that disappeared from the map". To get here, in addition to driving like we did, use the "Kansai Metropolitan Railway PASS" to take the Shinkansen to Okayama/Hiroshima, then transfer to the Kure Line train from Mihara and get off at Tadakai Station Zhonghai Port is a very secluded small fishing port. Many tourists like us are waiting for the boat here at 10:30 in the morning. When boarding the boat, you can board the boat and find your own seat by showing your ticket. Sitting outside is comfortable but there is a smell of oil smoke. . Kunoshima was the site of Japan's chemical weapons/poison gas factory during World War II. Rabbits were indeed used for experiments at that time. However, all the experimental rabbits were culled and destroyed after the war, leaving it as an uninhabited island for a while. Later, a national holiday was established. village. 8 rabbits were also introduced from outside the island. Unexpectedly, they multiplied quickly and there were hundreds of rabbits running around on the island. However, I only saw about 200 rabbits after walking half of the island. It seems that rabbits are all over the island. Almost 100,000 tourists visit the island every year to see rabbits, and it is now designated as part of the Seto Inland Sea National Park. However, in fact, the facilities on the entire island are quite beautiful, almost maintaining most of their original state. Except for the Poison Gas Memorial Hall, the Visitor Center and the National Leisure Village, it is basically green forests and sandy areas. The coastline is about 4.3 kilometers long. There are actually very few tourists like us who walked through 1/2 of the island (we stayed here for 4 hours). First of all, as soon as you get on the island, you will find the visitor center and a very big tree. Almost 1/3 of the rabbits on the island will hide here. They are also very smart and know that tourists will arrive directly here when they get off the boat, so they will all jump in when they see tourists. Come up! However, although many people come to see the rabbits, very few go to the forest at the back. In fact, the rabbits in the back are hungrier, because most of the tourists have finished feeding the food in front, and there are very few tourists who go to the back. , so the rabbits behind you will jump out from everywhere when they hear the sound of someone's footsteps and bags. If they are hungry, they will jump on you XD and keep running with you. It is recommended that you try half/one circle around the island. #日本Travel #Hiroshima #大kunoshima There will be a pavilion at any time where you can relax and enjoy the sea view. It is a good place to get along with nature. It's a pity that the road to and from the observatory was blocked this time, so I couldn't climb up to get a bird's eye view of the entire island. Before heading to "Okunoshima", we strongly recommend that you buy rabbit food first Because as long as you have food, you can become the rabbit king of the island. Wherever you go, rabbits will jump around and surround you. The most recommended food for rabbits is cabbage. It’s very cheap to buy one in the supermarket and you can peel it by hand. If you buy carrots, you have to cut them into small strips, which is more troublesome for tourists. And another advantage of cabbage is that you can feed it with your hands, so you don’t have to worry about being bitten, and you can also seize the time to take a close-up photo of the rabbit.

Here is a list of the recommended islands from around Japan where you can enjoy art that I've been to so far! ✨ Please enjoy touring the art on the islands♡ ① #Shodoshima ② #Sakushima ③ #Omishima ④ #Naoshima ⑤ #Ikuchijima ⑥ #Sarushima ⑦ #Okunoshima I hope this will be helpful for your autumn trip🍁 #islandtrip #outdoors #island

Ōkunoshima is a famous rabbit island in Japan, where thousands of baby rabbits live. When you come here, you will be greeted by a large group of super cute rabbits! You can set aside a whole day to stay here to visit the ruins and buy some rabbit feed to feed them. You can also take pictures and interact with them, which is also a very interesting experience. Hurry up and go to Ōkunoshima to be healed by the rabbits! Rabbit feed bags are available for sale at Chong Hai Port and Sengkang, or you can buy pre-cut cabbage and carrots at nearby convenience stores. You can buy them in advance if necessary. The ferries to Ōkunoshima are operated by the Resort Passenger Ship (Kyukamura Passenger Ship または) and the Ōmishima Ferry. It is recommended to check the timetable and make arrangements before departure. 🏖️

Ōkunoshima, also known as Rabbit Island, was once an "island that disappeared" from the map due to the war, but now it has become a tourist attraction because of its rabbits. After the uncle visited the island more than ten years ago, he seemed to have a magical power and would go to the island to see the rabbits whenever he went to Hiroshima. He went there three times in total. It takes more than ten minutes to arrive from Zhonghai Port, and as soon as you dock, there will be rabbits to greet you at the dock. The feeding process is quite therapeutic. When they hear the sound of the feed bag, they will actively come closer and even jump onto your legs. Feed is sold at Tadami Port, and some tourists also buy cabbage at Hiroshima supermarkets and bring it back. After feeding the rabbits, you can go see the remains of the military facilities of the past and the coastal scenery of Ōkunoshima. Reminder to friends: * Never feed them human food * Also don’t hug rabbits, they are very fragile and may get hurt. * Please feed the animals towards the park, not on the road as it is dangerous due to the passing vehicles. Friends who are traveling to Hiroshima can consider adding it to the itinerary. 📍Address: 〒729-2311 Takehara City, Tadami-cho, Okunoshima #Good Places to Go in January 2025

#Get a discount without relying on luck #Takehara Town (竹原市) is also called "Little Kyoto". Takehara Townscape Conservation Area たけはら町並み翝存地区 #Takehara Old Town This is an old town in Hiroshima Prefecture with a retro feel from the Edo period. I would like to say that this place is very quiet. It is about a 70-minute drive from Hiroshima City. When you enter the old town area, you will see that the streets and buildings are in an old Japanese style with wood that has been well preserved. It looks very impressive and there are real people living there, including Saihoji Temple, the center of the people here. From above, you can see a view of the city. How to get there By bus Take a bus from Hiroshima Station to Takehara Station. It takes about 70 minutes. Train Take a train from Hiroshima Station to Takehara Station. It takes about 80 minutes. Car It takes 70 minutes to drive from Hiroshima to Takehara, or only 25 minutes from Hiroshima Airport. For this trip, we chose to drive from Hiroshima to chill out. The atmosphere while driving was great. If you like this style, I recommend it. #TravelJapanByYourself #Hiroshima #TravelJapan

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 #RabbitIsland #Hiroshima #Okunoshima Transportation: (Outbound) Take a ferry from Mihara Port (Mihara Port only has ferries to Ōkunoshima on Saturdays and Sundays) (Return trip) Take the ferry from Ōkunoshima Second Pier to Tadami Port Transportation fee: Mihara-Okunoshima 1600 yen, Okunoshima-Tadami 360 yen Visit time: 2024.06 The boat to Ōkunoshima is not big. It looks good on the outside but feels a bit old inside. The decoration is quite retro style. It's just like the Japanese ones, which don't look new, but you can tell that they are being tidied and maintained. There were two passengers on the boat, one was me and the other was a girl who seemed to be working on the island. There are also two grandfathers who drive boats. I don’t know if it’s because it’s an inland sea, but even though the weather was bad, there weren’t too many waves. Visually, it looks a bit wavy, but in reality, it doesn't feel shaky. The whole trip took about 40 minutes and was actually quite smooth. The boat didn't seem to be moving slowly, but there wasn't much shaking and I didn't feel seasick at all. After arriving on the island, I took the feed and started feeding along the way. The ground was wet due to the rain but the rabbits didn't mind too much and still rushed to eat all the food. In fact, there are rabbits all over the island, although the area from the pier to the rest village is the most populous. Moreover, the rabbits had dug holes of all sizes wherever there was room to dig on the entire island. When the rabbits saw me, a human being (= a walking feeder), they rushed over and were not at all shy. I walked the trail around the island. The road condition was pretty good and it took less than half an hour to walk around. From time to time, one or more little rabbits would emerge from the bushes on the roadside, looking like "Do you have any food?" The rabbits on Rabbit Island seem to have gotten used to being fed. You can feed them directly by hand. Rabbits are usually very careful and won't bite my hands. Except for a few that eat too hastily and accidentally bite when snatching. If you are squatting or sitting on the roadside, Some rabbits would be very rude and would just sit on my knees or even jump directly onto my thighs. There are no other restaurants or convenience stores on the island. All your dietary needs are handled at the cafe Usanchu in the recreation village. There aren't many items for sale but the prices are quite reasonable, and it feels similar to the ones on shore. The sales department sells a variety of very cute cookies (in packaging), as well as various cute souvenirs and postcards. There are some remains of poison gas depots from World War II on Okunoshima Island. After World War II, the poison gas and equipment were cleaned up and the poison gas was burned. There are still charred marks on the wall from the poison gas burned by flamethrowers. There is also a poison gas museum, which displays various equipment related to the production of poison gas and the effects of poison gas on the human body. You can't take pictures inside, but in short it's a place that shows how perverted humans can be. The boat back to Zhonghai is also small, with only a few seats and a very simple layout. The boat was actually moving quite fast, but there wasn't much turbulence. All of a sudden, the red pier where we had just boarded the boat appeared in the distance. To go to Rabbit Island, we departed from Mihara and the boat ride took about 40 minutes. But the return trip was to Zhonghai Port, which only took about ten minutes. It seems that most people go to Rabbit Island from Zhonghai Port. There is a special souvenir shop next to the pier of Zhonghai Port, and boat tickets can also be purchased here. All rabbit feeds are sold in Zhonghai Port, but they are very expensive. A very small package is probably the size of a red disposable plastic bowl. This package costs 200 yen. That little bit of food would be gone before you could even walk a hundred meters on the island. By the way, there is no rabbit feed for sale in Mihara Port or Okunoshima Island. If you want to be surrounded by many rabbits all the time, I personally recommend bringing your own feed. I brought three kilograms.

DAY 49: Ōkunoshima…an island that once disappeared from the map I had no idea about the history of the island until I came here. This island experienced the turbulent periods of the Russo-Japanese War and World War II, and was a secret base for the Japanese army to produce poison gas. It was not until the end of World War II that all the facilities on the island were destroyed by the US military, leaving only buildings such as power plants, artillery ruins, ammunition depots, and poison gas storage depots... What happened here, and the fact that it was once wiped off the map... have all become unknown X-Files. The ruins on the island tell a history and it feels like entering another world. Now it has unexpectedly become a paradise for rabbits, a quiet space, a building covered with green grass, collapsed ruins and weathered buildings. Rabbits, thank you for bringing me here. It's nice to meet you. When I opened my backpack and prepared to take out the feed, as expected, several rabbits ran towards me happily from all directions. You'll never get tired of watching it! While playing with the rabbits, you may find rabbits in any corner here, black, white, beige, coffee brown, gray, big and small rabbits. Yes, this is the rabbits' free hometown. There are no fences and no one to manage here. You can ride a bicycle, camp, walk around, or go swimming and canoeing in the sea on the island. As you walk along the nature trail through the island's native forests, you will find that the sea ahead is endless. This is the famous Shimanami Kaido on the Seto Inland Sea. There is a row of things that look like rabbit ears on the beach. They are sound collectors. When you put them to your ears, you can clearly hear the sound of the wind and waves. Well, those big eyed furry guys are looking at me. We finally meet, is this your home? Yes, Ōkunoshima’s nickname is Rabbit Island. The only permanent residents on the island are the rabbits, and we are just passers-by.

Ōkunoshima is located in Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. To go from Hiroshima to Ōkunoshima, we first took the Shinkansen to Mihara Station and then transferred to the JR Kure Line to JR Tadami Station. The journey took about 20 minutes. After exiting the station, walk for about 7 minutes to reach Tadami Port. After buying a round-trip ticket at the ticket office, you can go shopping in the shopping area or buy some rabbit feed first. It will take about 12 minutes by boat to reach Ōkunoshima!

Stay on the island for a whole day, enjoy the breeze, see the beautiful scenery, feed the rabbits, it's comfortable and relaxing!

🐇 Okunoshima Island or Rabbit Island 🐇 Another tourist attraction in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan It is a small island in Takehara City. There are cute rabbits waiting for us here.

It was used as a factory for poison gas during World War II between 1929 and 1945. When the war ended, the government ordered the evacuation of people. The rabbits that used to be experimental animals were left behind and reproduced naturally. Currently, there are cute rabbits all over the island. We can walk around or bring bicycles across to the island. How to get there 🐰 From Hiroshima Station, take the Shinkansen to Mihara Station, then transfer to the JR Kure Line and get off at Tadanoumi Station. It takes about 90 minutes.

Ōkunoshima—A place that is half adorable and half dark, is the second island to hop to in the Seto Inland Sea. The adorable half is due to the abundance of rabbits on the island. While there are many cat islands, rabbit islands are quite rare. Moreover, the rabbits here are semi-domesticated, so as long as you have food in your hand, you can immediately attract them to circle around you. Most of the rabbits on the island are primarily brown or black, and spotting a white rabbit is a one-in-a-million chance. Some rabbits lie leisurely, some snuggle together, and some burrow around in groups. If you love small animals, this is a place you shouldn't miss. The scenery here is also very beautiful, and the photo opportunities on sunny days are high. The dark half of the island's history is because it was once erased from maps by humans. During wartime, it was a poison gas testing site, and there is a poison gas museum on the island that explains this history. Now, there is only one resort on the island, with no permanent residents, as the soil's chemical composition exceeds safe levels, and supplies are brought in from outside. It can only be said that history should not be forgotten. Overall, if you love small animals, this is a place you shouldn't miss. Ōkunoshima is located in Tadanoumi Town, Hiroshima Prefecture. You can reach the island by taking a ferry from Tadanoumi Port. The ferry schedule is infrequent, so be sure to check the times. A round-trip ticket costs 720 yen. Additionally, Tadanoumi Station, where Tadanoumi Port is located, is a small station between Mihara Station and Hiro Station, with very few train services. It takes a 3-minute walk from the station to the port, so plan your trip accordingly, considering both train and ferry schedules.

Okuno Island is collectively known as Rabbit Island Because there are about 700 rabbits running through the streets Previously, Okunoshima came as an island where poison gas was experimented with during the Great War So some say that the rabbits on the island are remnants left over from the experiment at that time But that sounds awful The government said that all the rabbits in the experiment had been wiped out So there is a saying that a few children released several rabbits on the island I don't know how many of the rabbits are male or female Crazy sex gave birth to 700 of them on the whole island ( ́-`) 。 Regardless of whether it's true or false the most I want to say is that the Okunoshima d rabbit is really wolf death I have never seen a rabbit be as big as a dog And I have never seen such a pure rabbit will grab food in order Fighting with each other fiercely and biting all the other rabbits' ears More did not expect to die wolf to a thing jump up and rip the little brother's bag of food But when he burst the bag of food I don't know what to do except smile Then look again at the innocent face of the rabbit who seems to have no business ummmmmmm d bunnies are still so cute and angry

I went to Rabbit Island on June 4th, a small island. It’s totally possible to take a walk There will be many rabbits coming around on the way Very cute and very healing The whole island feels like a vacation Suitable for roaming and enjoying time with rabbits Special feed for rabbits is sold at the ticket office at Chunghae Station Pier. You can also go to the supermarket in advance to buy carrots or cabbage and bring them to feed

[Access] ○3-6-12 Honmachi, Takehara City ○About a 20-minute walk from Takehara Station. ※Located within the Takehara Townscape Preservation District. [Points] ~A place to relax~ Ochadokoro Shiro is located in a corner of the Takehara Townscape Preservation District. It's the furthest place from the station, so it's nice to have a meal here and then stroll around the town. The interior of the restaurant has a very retro atmosphere and is cozy and relaxing. They have a wide range of options, from food to cafe menus. It's a great cafe that you can drop in to anytime, so I recommend it. *Information as of March 2024. #Sakura2024
