Explore the light and shadow of Rabbit Island—once erased from the map—with a guide
Okunoshima, floating among the 700 islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
Now also known as Rabbit Island and bustling with visitors, this island holds a secret unlike any other.
We’ve created an interactive cycling tour where you can explore the “life” story of Okunoshima!
Here’s a quick peek at what the tour is like☆
In the Seto Inland Sea, known for its mild climate and beautiful island scenery,
there is an island called Okunoshima—one that once had a past erased from the map.
Set off on a journey you won’t find in any brochure!
Not just a local guide…
The wild rabbits that live on the island
will also meet you all along the way,
like little attendants throughout the tour.
How was the Seto Inland Sea formed?
As you take in the stunning panorama of islands before you,
you’ll reflect on the culture nurtured by the islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
Time moves forward a little…
What was the great shadow cast over Okunoshima in the era of war?
We get to the heart of why this island stopped being “ordinary.”
Okunoshima was swept along by the tides of history.
Even so, some things never changed.
As you enjoy exploring the island,
being able to feel Okunoshima’s vast natural landscape
is something unique to this tour!!
If only the war had never happened…
And yet!
Precisely because Okunoshima holds both light and shadow,
it may carry an important message as a signpost for the future.
And when the tour ends, you’ll surely feel something.
This tour takes you around the outer loop of Okunoshima (about 4 km) by bicycle, together with a guide.
