Visit Hiroshima's Rabbit Island For Cute Meals, Sweets, Bunny Goods and More!

Okunoshima Island in Hiroshima is home to around 700 wild rabbits, making it an extremely popular location for both Japanese and foreign tourists. Takehara City is a common point of departure for the island, and soon visitors will be able to enjoy the bunny experience even more thanks to the city's Rabbit Lunch Cafe & Souvenir project! This project will see rabbit-themed souvenirs, lunches, and more being offered at three of the city's shopping districts. Why not check out each of the cafes and send a Rabbit Lunch Photo to your friends?

The Rabbit Lunch Cafe & Souvenir project is part of the Stimulation of Consumption Through Inbound Tourism Promotional Plan Implementation Project, which utilizes Prime Minister Abe Shinzo's regional revitalization strategy.

Adorable Rabbit-Themed Lunches and Cafes Are Appearing in Three of Takehara's Shopping Districts
From Saturday, Jan. 28, lunches, sweets, and cafes inspired by rabbits will be on offer at 16 stores located around three of Takehara's shopping districts (the Tadanoumi area, in front of Takehara Station, and the Machinami area). Pay a visit and enjoy the cute and elaborate menus created by each restaurant!

The Rabbit Shop in Front of Tadanoumi Station Is a Treasure Trove of Rabbit Products
Tadanoumi Station is the entrance to Okunoshima Island, and a pop-up shop dealing in all kinds of bunny-related products and souvenirs is opening right in front of the station! Inside the shop, there'll be a corner where you can take photos in front of huge panels with rabbit designs or even get your face painted. Tasty treats like "Kawaii Usagi no Okashi" ("Cute Rabbit Sweets") and "Shiawase o Hakobu Okome" ("Happiness-Bringing Rice") have been prepared in anticipation of the shop's grand opening, and it's a great spot for visitors to Okunoshima Island to get in the bunny mood while waiting for their ferry or train.
