The rabbits are the big attraction for coming here for most, but it’s also very interesting in its own right. You can get to the island via a great ferry service running between Sakari on the island of Omishima and Tadanoumi on the mainland. It cost us 5200 Yen for three people and a car to make the whole journey, stopping off at Rabbit Island in the middle. The history of the island is all very well documented, so I won’t bore you, but if you have time it is well worth walking at least as far as the power plant that used to power the chemical weapons factory. It’s to the North of the harbour and just inland of the old quay that preceded the modern harbour. There is a small beach beside the quay, but it’s hard to get down to it to swim, and we did see a lot of jellyfish around the harbour in Sakari, so maybe not good idea swim at that spot. The rabbits themselves range from very friendly to quite standoffish. They looked healthy in the main. You can buy rabbit food at the ferry terminal at Sakari and presumably at Tadanoumi as well. We paid 150 Yen per packet. There were also people on the island with cabbage leaves, which the rabbits seemed to prefer. All in all, it is a fascinating island to visit, and we wish we had been there longer. Fun fact: the real name of the island is Okunoshima, which literally means, In The Back Island. (Forgive me if I have got that Japanese translation wrong.)

Manage your expectations by watching the latest YouTube clips. There are plentiful rabbits on the island but not an Army of them like those on the old YouTube clips. In summer, 0600 to 0700hrs are the BEST feeding times. They are hungry, they are out for food!!! Evening from 1800-1900hrs is okay too. Any other times, good luck.

Un endroit magnifique où les lapins vivent libres !
On a rencontré les premiers des notre descente du bateau, certains viennent tout de suite vous voir, d'autres sont plus timides, ils s'expriment et profitent de la vie naturelle 🐇😀

I was just on the island a few days ago. Claire D. already covered the main points very well so read her review.
We traveled from Hiroshima via the JR Kure Line and stayed overnight in Takehara (and enjoyed walking around the historic old-town area). Next morning, we got to the ferry for our boat trip to Okunoshima.
Small bags of rabbit pellets are 200 yen each at the ferry ticket office. If you go next door to the small mom-and-pop restaurant, the pellets are 100 yen per bag. We bought 4 bags but it was double what we needed and ended up giving our spare pellets to arriving tourists at the end of our trip.
We stayed overnight in the Okunoshima hotel which was very nice. They have a very extensive delicious dinner and breakfast buffet (even all-you-can-eat ice cream!). They have a nice public bath (not in-room). The temperature was a blazing 36 degrees C when we visited the island so very few rabbits were out in the daytime -- they are smart and like to stay cool underground. If I were to return to this island I would choose the cooler months, not the middle of the summer!
I saw the most rabbits out at dawn and dusk. Even so, there were no swarms of rabbits approaching me like all those videos you see from the pre-covid days. Apparently, when covid halted tourism the rabbits adapted by returning to the dense forest. The largest groups of human-socialized rabbits I saw were only 5 or maybe 10 animals per group. We went on a big mountain hike and gave most of our rabbit pellets to the rabbits out along those trails. All the rabbits we encountered were very friendly and loveable. It was well worth the trip!

Okunoshima -- the Rabbit Island of IG/Tik-tok fame. More than just rabbits, this island is worth spending a whole day.
First of all, let's set up a realistic expectation of what you will encounter in Okunoshima.
Will you be swarmed by lots of rabbits? Probably not. Those who come to this island during day-time would be a bit disappointed because rabbits are NOCTURNAL, and therefore many of them are sleeping under the canopies or around the bushes (and please, do not disturb them). If you want more active bunnies in action, please come here after the sunset.
Will there be sick rabbits? YES. These animals are wild... this is something that many of us will forget as soon as we see them, because we tend to associate rabbits as pets. In the island, you will see sick rabbits, sneezing rabbits, injured rabbits, pooping rabbits, filthy rabbits, along with other healthy, fluffy, good-looking rabbits. Whatever you do, try not to pet the rabbits (see below).
Are there more to see than just rabbits on this island? YES! The best way to enjoy this island is by hiking, biking, while feeding the bunnies along the way. If you remember to keep this in mind, you won't be disappointed.
A few precautions about the rabbits:
Do not PET the rabbits: please remember that these rabbits are WILD animals, as such, some of them may be sick, some of them may harbor disease that may or may not be harmful to humans. they are NOT PET rabbits, so please, as much as you want to touch them, don't. If you do, please wash your hands. In fact -- not many tourists know but at the Okunoshima ferry station, near the toilet, there's a shallow tiled area where you can SCRUB your sneakers clean before you get off the island (shoe brushes are provided!). You will be stepping on rabbit poops along the way. Please do so if you have time.
Do not touch/pet BABY bunnies : many of those who are may be rejected by their rabbit mothers and sometimes died. A caretaker resident warned us about this. If you see baby bunnies, leave them alone (they usually do not care for tourist-brought rabbit foods anyway), or keep your distance.
Do not give rabbits human food -- human food invites other unwanted critters such as rats and they are not suitable for wild rabbits (remember, they are wild animals).
Respect residents who are feeding the rabbits -- there are many local island residents committed to taking care of these rabbits. We talked with one of them and asked them about visitors. They told us that they wish to be left alone especially when feeding rabbits. Rabbits tend to congregate around them and visitors would gather for pictures opportunity -- DON'T!! Let these rabbits bond with these resident caretakers. Leave them alone to feed at designated feeding points. Long after day-time tourists are gone, these residents are the ones who care of the rabbits day in and out, to keep these rabbits as healthy as possible, for YOUR enjoyment! Please, respect these residents by keeping your distance while they are doing their jobs.
How to get there:
It takes time to go to Okunoshima, not because the island is remote, but because you'll be doing A LOT OF waiting along the way -- both waiting for the ferry and the train (times two, if you are doing a day-trip). If you are short on time, I wrote a few options below.
The closest large city to Okunoshima is perhaps Hiroshima. Get yourself to JR Mihara station from Hiroshima station (either by shinkansen or local train, there are lots). From JR Mihara station, you will take the local JR Kure line to JR Tadanoumi station. The trick is to time this leg of the journey carefully because trains come very infrequently along the JR Kure line between Mihara and Tadanoumi. Furthermore, you need to carefully check the ferry schedule between Tadanoumi station to Okunoshima. Time them carefully ahead of time, and you won't miss your train or ferry. You will, inevitably, have a lot of waiting to do at the JR Mihara station. It is a small station with a Lawson and a Family Mart, but other than that, there's nothing around. There's omotesando in front of JR Mihara station that'll take you to "downtown" Mihara, but most of the shops open around 11 AM (and most likely you'll be here earlier than that in order to spend the whole day in Okunoshima).
Your trip will be covered by your JR pass EXCEPT for the ferry -- which is cash only.
If you are visiting the island on the weekend, there is a direct Okunoshima ferry from JR Mihara station -- this is worth checking as it'll shave off your travel time. Otherwise, the JR Kure line itself is worth riding as it goes very slow, and the view of the ocean and the islands around it are gorgeous. There is no direct ferry from Mihara to Okunoshima during week days.
Finally, there is also a direct bus from Hiroshima to Tadanoumi station (Geiyo Express Bus) -- not covered by JR pass but worth checking if you are short on time.
What to do:
As I mentioned, this place is more than just the rabbits. The island around it is amazingly gorgeous against the backdrop of the Pacific ocean. In my opinion, the best way to spend time in the island is by leisure hiking or biking. Bikes can be rented at the Hotel/resort. There's also a camping ground and some picnic spots around the area. Check out the Poison Gas museum as well. The hiking trail is quite hilly and not well-maintained in some area, so use a good shoes and proper precaution, especially when the ground is wet after the rain (the clay soil can be slippery when wet). During the summer, mosquito repellent is a must.
The tourist information center provide information on the history of the island, and have lots of pointers of other flora and fauna that you can see around the island (than just the rabbits).
There is an island shrine that is under construction, sadly. There's also a free bus that goes around the island -- check the Hotel for schedule. If you stay long enough in the island. there is a sentou/public bath in the island that you can access as day-tourist (no tattoo, though) for a reasonable price. Great for reviving the tired body after all that hiking and cycling that you did.
Finally, don't eat anywhere as, again, human food can invite unwanted critters to thrive. There are designated spaces where you can bring your lunches and eat outdoor around the Hotel.
Food:
For rabbit -- remember I mentioned above that you'll be doing a lot of waiting at the JR Mihara station? This is your time to purchase some fresh veggies at Lawson/Family Mart for the bunnies (bunnies prefer fresh veggies over rabbit pellet food anyway). If you forgot, near JR Tadanoumi station, there's another Family mart for you to purchase rabbit food. Finally, your last place to buy food for the rabbits is at Tadanoumi Ferry station -- this will be rabbit pellets.
For human -- there's only one cafeteria in the entire island, that is inside the Hotel. Cash only. The cafeteria can be quite crowded depending on when you visit the island. Otherwise, again, while waiting at the JR Mihara station, purchase some food at Family Mart/Lawson. If you wander around the JR Mihara station after 10 AM, there's an Ekiben shop that may be open around that time (along with a few other cafes and shops). Another possibility is to bring some ekiben/picnic from Hiroshima station and eat your lunch at the island.

忠海港から１５分ほどで着きます
本数がたくさんあって助かりました
休暇村には日帰り温泉があります。
注意して欲しいのは、常連が見張っていてうるさく注意し観光客の悪口を言ってくることです。
常連だって観光客の1人で、誰もが平等に観光できるはずです。
自分のものだと勘違いしてるのでしょうね。
そのような人がいても気にせず観光しましょう

とても行きたかった、大久野島へ行きました。
体験談も昔の投稿しか、見つからず。現状がわかりませんでした。
正直、うさぎがあまりいません。
昔、訪れたという知り合いに聞きましたが、とてもたくさん、いたそうです。
今回に関しては、いないのか、出てこないのかは、わかりませんが、あんまりいないなぁという印象でした。
広島バスセンターから、バスで行きました、忠海駅が最寄り駅ですが、アクセスがいいとは言えません。行きはよかったのですが、帰りは、電車もバスもしばらく来ない。
レンタカーを借りて、港まで行けばよかったかな、と思いました。

As i have a rabbit myself, I couldn't give up the opportunity to visit rabbit island. Its a relatively small island which i covered on foot in less than half a day, stopping to feed hordes of rabbits along the way. If you look close enough, you will notice some of the rabbits have infections or battle scars. Overall a fun experience for animal lover.

島に上陸してしばらく歩いたらウサギに出会いました。
そこまで凄いたくさんいるわけではないが、草むらをぴょんぴょん跳ねてる子や走り抜けてる子、お腹いっぱいでうとうとしている子、子うさぎなど色々いて楽しかったです。船に乗る前に餌を買わないと、島には販売していないため、乗る前に売店で購入。
喜んで食べてくれました。

Hi everyone! I'm planning to travel to rabbit island but I'm not sure where to temporarily store our luggage. Are there lockers for luggage storage at Tadanoumi Station? Many thanks!

I do not think that this is possible. The island has only hotel, and some establishments which are served from the mainland. The ferries can take and drop vehicles, but I am not sure if tourists are allowed to get their own vehicles along. The public transportation is a regular bus service, which is quite regular and efficient.
Can you swim all year round?

Hello! Planning to come here in June; so excited! Would it be doable to visit this island for a few hours then head to Miyajima after? Any suggestions? Thank you!

Hello, while you may be able to do it, I would not advise you in favour of this idea. Both Okunoshima Island and Miyajima island typically take about a day each, to do justice to the sights around. I presume that your base will be at Hiroshima. The quick and cost-effective way will be to go in for a train on the Sanyo line. (The quickest of course, is the Shinkansen). Hiroshima to Mihara on the Sanyo line sees connections every half-an-hour or so (locals for Itozaki). However, the Mihara to Tadanoumi segment on the Kure line does not see very frequent trains. You will have to check the schedule for convenient connections. (The hyperdia app could be a big help for you to plan this trip out). Once you are at Tadanoumi port, please check the ferry timings. The same will apply on the way back. Miyajima on the other hand, is closer, and can be reached in a far easier manner. There is a water route form the Hiroshima city, close to the Genbaku Dome (the A-Bomb dome). The other option (which we patronised) are the trains to Iwakuni/Wake, which are quite frequent. All the best!

We only stayed an hour, should have been longer but worth it to be covered in bunnies
hi.
My friends and I are coming to Japan at the end of this week (Nov 18) We are thinking of riding the train from Tokyo (JR) and ferry to the island for Nov 20. Is it still a good time to visit the bunny and feed them or are they all hibernating now and not worth the trip b/c of the weather?
Any tips on getting from Tokyo to the island is greatly appreciated. 3rd trip to Tokyo but never went out side of the city before this trip. Using google map to figure out the route and planning.

Hello,
I hope your trip went well. I traveled to Hiroshima by overnight highway bus from Yokohama. You could do the same thing from Shinjuku or Tokyo station. You can also take a shinkansen. From there, you have to travel to Takehara by bus. This is about an hour ride. From Takehara to Tadanouma is another 20 minute or so bus ride. This summer the trains in the area were out of service. I am not sure if that is still the case.

We will be going to rabbit island (Okunoshima) during the third week of November. I’ve read that it’s best to get there early in the day. What time does that mean? Before Noon? Also how long did you stay there? Thank you

I think is it best to get to the island around 10 a.m. Not too early but not late either. I heard the rabbits are active in the morning. So you get to enjoy taking photos of them when feeding them. You get to walk around the island and visit historical sites. Try to get to the ferry before
4 p.m. It will be cold in late November in Okunoshima so make sure to keep yourselves warm.
Hope the weather will be lovely when you visit Okunoshima. Have a nice trip.

We stayed for about 20 hours from late afternoon till noon the next day. If you like feeding friendly bunnies and walking through woods on a lovely island it is well worth staying overnight at the hotel there. My 26 year old son , husband and I actually felt we would have enjoyed another night . It was relaxing and the food at the hotel was varied, plentiful and good. There are many things and places to see in Japan so that limited our time on the island. The hotel was not plush but it was comfortable.
