Cute Baby Rabbits in Paradise 🐰 Island of 500 Wild Bunnies | Rabbit Island Japan | 大久野島 / うさぎ島

An island where nearly 500 rabbits live freely in nature. A day trip to Okunoshima, also known as Rabbit Island, in autumn. Please enjoy this peaceful time with these adorable rabbits. 🐰☘️ Good morning! On the Shinkansen from Hiroshima Station. To spend more time on the island, I took the 6:49 train. Arriving at Mihara Station, the transfer point, in about 25 minutes. Transferring to the local line here.
The 7:27 train bound for Hiroshima. Rabbit🐇 About 20 minutes until the station near the ferry terminal. The train runs right along the shoreline—almost like it’s over the sea. ✨ Arrived at the nearest station to the island. There’s even a rabbit on the opposite platform. 🐰 From Tadanoumi Station, walk straight ahead toward the ferry terminal. This way. Maybe a little egret? You can tell the species by the color of their legs. Arrived at the ferry terminal in about five minutes. You can store luggage for 500 yen per day. Inside, you can buy tickets, local products, and souvenirs. The rabbit goods are so cute. 🐰 Travelers visit here from all over Japan and the world. 😳 Tickets are purchased from this vending machine. The round trip is 720 yen. If you want to feed the rabbits, it’s best to buy the food here. I’ll get some too. With a little time before departure, enjoying a coffee. The ferry has arrived. Which one do I get on? The 8:30 ferry was the larger one. Capacity: 300 passengers. There it is—Okunoshima. Departing now. The bridge in the distance is the Shimanami Kaido—
a famous cycling route. The island is about 15 minutes away. Where are the rabbits? Found them in the park in front of the terminal! Here you go—would you like some food? Alright, here’s a little more. Ah! There are rabbits behind me too. Good morning. As soon as I stepped back, they all gathered around. Pulled the paper plate and spilled everything… They stay completely calm. Let me pick up the leftovers. Break time after they finish eating. I brought three kinds of vegetables today: mizuna, komatsuna, and cabbage. Oh! They’re eating it. What’s wrong? I can’t hear it, but it seems there’s some kind of predator sound nearby. Things to keep in mind when spending time with rabbits on the island. Many of them are very friendly, so watch your feet. It wasn’t written in the rules, but— Feeding them rabbit food (no bread, chocolate, or sweets) is also important for their safety. It’s so windy today—their fur is rippling. Their water is provided by volunteers and visitors. I met about four groups today carrying water bottles. 🐰 Wow! A luxury cruise ship. That’s Asuka III, launched in July 2025. So beautiful.🚢 Found some rabbits inside the campsite. They’re coming this way. The wind is too strong, so I’ll let them eat here. Oh, you went back over there? Looks like they feel a bit hesitant. Here are some veggies. The tent works as a windbreak, so it’s calmer here. After eating, it’s time for a little palate cleanser. Hello. Would you like some food? Come here. These two look identical from the side. Maybe they’re siblings. Another one with the same look. Rabbits that eat peacefully together often seem to have similar faces. Holding the plate so it doesn’t blow away. Smart little one. See you. There’s a cute rabbit hopping around. Maybe a young one that’s grown a bit. Here you go. Such beautiful fur color. The rabbits are gathering from all around. So that’s where their home is. Looks like the sibling of the one from earlier. 🐰 Maybe they were three siblings. Maybe the mom? Watching from inside their home. Looks like they’re satisfied. The wind is strong today, and the sea is full of whitecaps. These rabbits were staying near the woods and trees. More and more rabbits kept coming. Came for food, but got completely absorbed in digging. Heading back home. Such a beautiful rabbit. Seems like the rabbits everywhere are hungry today. Glad I brought plenty of rabbit food. There are many rabbit burrows in the woods. Are you full now? 🐰 Let’s go down to the beach. The sea and the islands—Setouchi scenery is truly beautiful. Okunoshima was once an island where poison gas was produced during the war. There’s a museum that preserves this history. (150 yen admission) Many strings of folded cranes are offered before the memorial. We’ve reached the large square in front of the hotel. It looks like wild boars have dug up this area. They came running all the way from over there. So cute. Here you go. Another rabbit came after hearing the sound. They suddenly started hiding. I didn’t hear any crows, but the birds suddenly sounded louder. Maybe they’re reacting to the birds’ alarm calls. It seems that predators of the rabbits are increasing because they’re attracted to leftover food. Please note that any leftover food should be taken home. Relaxing time. They didn’t allow filming. Sorry. The autumn leaves are finally starting to turn, though a bit late this year. There’s a baby rabbit. Would you like some veggies? Another baby rabbit over here. So fluffy and unbelievably cute. Looks like this one decided to eat the rabbit food. The whole family in this area has gathered. This family seems to prefer vegetables over rabbit food. Pretty bold eaters. They’re fighting over the cabbage. Is that the mom between the babies? The three of them are battling for the cabbage. I could’ve watched them forever—they’re just too cute. I’ve reached the island’s only hotel. You can stay here with two meals for about 16,000–17,000 yen.
Meals are buffet-style. Day-trippers like me can also use the café and restaurant. The first floor has the front desk, restaurant, and café. A cute sculpture. I decided to have lunch at the café. Window seats are recommended. You can enjoy your meal while watching the rabbits outside. For meals, buy a ticket from the vending machine. Hand the ticket to the counter and receive the meal stub. Hamburg steak plate — 1,200 yen. “Usanchu Basket” (lemon curd & maple syrup) with mini soft serve. The Setouchi lemon curd is amazing!
Maybe it’s from Aohata? Adding the soft serve made it perfect. Next to the café is the souvenir corner. Picture books and calendars of Okunoshima. A tote bag of Onigiri-chan, the island’s little star. Aohata’s headquarters is in Tadanoumi, where Okunoshima belongs. Takehara City is also famous for delicious sake. Rabbit cookies. Starting my afternoon walk. 🚶‍♀️🐰 Many rabbits spent the day resting inside the bushes. Once they’re full, they suddenly dash off. Rabbits do the “loaf” pose too. 😳 Pure cuteness during their relaxing time. The rabbits in front of the hotel are munching on grass as well. They’re chasing each other in a territorial dispute. They don’t form strict hierarchies, but they do have clear territories. There was a baby rabbit in the area where the territorial fights were strongest. There might be some connection. I’ll prepare some rabbit food, so please enjoy the veggies first. Maybe they’re siblings. Alright, here comes the rabbit food. Eating together with their faces touching—so sweet. Their relaxed posture after eating is just adorable. Okunoshima is a small island among the beautiful islands of Setouchi. The scenery where sea and islands overlap is truly stunning. Oh, a baby rabbit over there too. This one stayed near the mountain side, so it didn’t come close. Watching them eat natural grasses is adorable too. These two are siblings as well. 🐰 Totally absorbed in the fallen leaves. 🍂 Grow up healthy, little ones. Such a beautifully patterned rabbit. The path from the hotel toward the mountain lets you stroll along the seaside. Their numbers have decreased, but many rabbits still live here. They seem to like the roots that wild boars have dug up. I also saw a bird I don’t usually see. This is one of the wartime ruins that still remain. Want some food? Hold on just a moment. Looks like they were hungry. The rabbits around here seem to prefer rabbit food. A place that tells the history of Okunoshima. At the entrance to the mountain trail, rabbits were hopping around. Once they noticed me, they came over. Here you go. There were more visitors heading toward the mountain today than usual. One of my favorite scenic spots along the way. Northern Battery Ruins. Oh, there’s a black rabbit. I was going to feed the mountain rabbits, but many people had already given them food. But they all looked very healthy. A black one coming from this side too. There are many black rabbits in the mountains.
Maybe the same family I met three years ago. Their beautiful gray fur is striking. They live even deep in the mountains like this. Maybe rubbing their cheeks helps them relax. In the mountains, you hear birds singing and see rabbits living freely and comfortably. The pink ferry that comes to Okunoshima. Would you like some food? Your fur is beautiful with that white accent. Another rabbit with the same pattern here. This one has more brown, but the face is the same. 😊 I wondered where they came from, but there’s a burrow in the woods. Another rabbit behind the tree. Completely absorbed in rubbing against the branches. Going in and out of the burrow. Our eyes met. Would you like some food? Is your left paw okay? I didn’t notice them, but they were eating straight from my bag. So cute. The left paw I was worried about seems fine. I’ve come back down to the lower area. This is the former power plant from wartime. The contrast between the peaceful rabbits and the silent remains of the past was deeply moving. Hello. Are you here by yourself? Still a baby rabbit. They sensed something and ran off. Even though it’s called Rabbit Island, this is truly a natural habitat. Their strong sense of caution is an important survival skill. Grow up healthy, little one. To take the direct bus back to Hiroshima Station, you need to catch the 15:35 ferry. We want to see the sunset, so we’ll take the bus to the hotel instead. Even day-trippers can use the bus from the ferry terminal to the hotel. We arrived in about five minutes! I’m craving something sweet… “Rabbit Booger Soft Serve” — 550 yen. The name is wild, but it matched perfectly with the almond chocolate and was delicious. It’s just the right time for a beautiful sunset. Rabbits aren’t nocturnal—
they’re crepuscular, most active at dawn and dusk. This time of day is when many rabbits come out, so it’s highly recommended. If you want to enjoy the island slowly, staying overnight might be the best option. A fluffy white sweetheart. Maybe the mom. She must be absolutely smitten with her little one. I wonder if they’re a descendant of the fluffy one I met before. Munching together with mama. The mother rabbit is trying to steal her baby’s piece of veggie. She took it. Maybe this is the baby’s little protest. There were two white baby rabbits. This one has a hint of cream color from their mom. In the back is the fluffy white one from earlier. Looks like the fluffy one is full too. This one is relaxing inside the burrow. They love these dug-up roots. The wild boars have dug up so much here. But it seems to be a good space for the rabbits. A lot of rabbits are gathered in this area. Too cute—so, so cute!!!! Let’s see that again up close. 💕 And over here too. To finish the day, I’ll give everyone a little more food. This rabbit is still as funny as ever. You’re fluffy too, aren’t you? Thank you, everyone!!! See you again. 🐰 The ferry back has arrived. To everyone who watches the Okunoshima rabbit videos—
thank you so much as always. 🐰 See you again in the next video.🐇

It has been six months since my last visit to Rabbit Island, and I returned to film it once again. The island is now home to around 500 rabbits, and this time I was able to meet many adorable rabbits — including lots of baby bunnies.
The entire island felt calm and peaceful. As I walked along the 4 km trail, little rabbits would peek out from the grass, creating the sweetest moments throughout the day. At the same time, I was reminded of the challenges they face in nature. With predators such as large birds and crows nearby, the rabbits live alert to sounds and shadows, doing their best to protect themselves and their burrows.
Of course, I also captured plenty of relaxed and heartwarming scenes of the rabbits enjoying their island life. Please enjoy the video to the end. 🐰✨

子うさぎたちと出会えた🐰 野生化したうさぎ500羽が暮らす大久野島へ行ってきた｜うさぎ島
半年ぶりに大久野島「ラビットアイランド」を撮影してきました。島には現在、約500羽のウサギたちが暮らしており、今回はかわいいうさぎや子うさぎにもたくさん出会えました。島全体は穏やかな空気に包まれ、1周約4kmの無人島を歩くたびに、草むらからひょこっと顔を出してくれる子たちがなんとも愛らしかったです。一方で、天敵となる大型の鳥類やカラスが多い環境の中、物音や影に敏感に反応しながら、自然の中で懸命に暮らすウサギたちの姿も感じられました。もちろん、ウサギたちののびのびとした可愛いシーンもたっぷり撮影できました！
