Okunoshima, Rabbit Island & Takehara Tour
♡ Save
Embark on an Adventure to Okunoshima, the Famous Rabbit Island. Join me as we uncover the secrets of this enchanting destination. Discover the magic of Rabbit Island with us! Join now.
Rabbit Island is one of the cutest places in Japan! I’ll pick you up at 9:00 AM from Mihara or Onomichi, and we’ll drive along one of the most calm and scenic coastal roads in the Seto Inland Sea—a beautiful local route most tourists never see.
We’ll take the boat from Tadanoumi and enjoy a relaxing walk on Rabbit Island. I’ll bring fresh cabbage so you can feed the friendly rabbits and take lots of cute photos.
After the island, we head to Takehara, known as Little Kyoto. This charming old town has traditional machiya houses, quiet streets, and a sake shop with free sake tasting. We’ll also enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
To finish the day, we’ll visit a few scenic spots such as Mt. Ryuo and Senkoji Park, plus some peaceful viewpoints loved by locals.
