Ōkunoshima, The Bunny Isle


Ōkunoshima is an isle in Takehara (Prefecture Hiroshima) In WW II, there was a Toxic Gas Factory, which is now a museum. The Japanese now let more than hundred bunnys hop over the isle. The funny thing about that is, that this factory once used bunnys as guinea pig. Nowadays the bunnys are a good tourist magnet. And they aren't shy at all, they eat out of the visitors hands!
