Enjoy a relaxing and unforgettable day exploring Hiroshima’s very own “Little Kyoto” and interacting with the cute rabbits of Ōkunoshima. Immerse yourself in the past and take a stroll through history and time by joining this 1-day tour in Takehara.
Located within Hiroshima prefecture, Takehara is a charming and beautiful city on the coast of the Seto Inland Sea. In the past, Takehara flourished as a port town known for its sake and salt production.
The beauty and history of this city extends out into the sea, where one can find Ōkunoshima, popularly known as “Rabbit Island.” As the name suggests, this island contains a large wild rabbit population, but it also houses a dark secret.
