Okunojima is a small island about 3 kilometers off the coast of Chukai Town, Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. The seemingly laid-back and joyful Okunojima has a dark past and was once an "island that disappeared from the map". During World War II, Japan used to manufacture chemical weapons on this island, so it was called a poison gas island. After the war, Okunojima remained uninhabited for a long time. The rabbits used for experiments in the research facility were abandoned along with the manufacturing facility. After years of breeding, the island became Rabbit Island. There are many rabbits on Okuno Island today, and about 300 rabbits live on the island. Tourists who like small animals can consider coming to play.
