広島県竹原市の忠海町から沖合3kmに浮かぶ周囲4.3kmの小さな島『大久野島』。
約1,000羽のうさぎが生息する「うさぎ島」として有名。
世界からも注目されており、国内外を問わず多くの観光客が訪れる人気スポット。
現在では国立公園に指定され、うさぎの楽園になっていますが、かつては「毒ガス島」と呼ばれていた暗い歴史もあるそうです。
戦時中は陸軍管理下の毒ガス製造拠点だったらしく、機密保持のために地図から消されていたとか。
今でも島内の各所には毒ガス関連の遺跡が残り、当時の資料を展示した資料館も設けられています。
とはいえ実際に行ってみると、凄まじい数のうさぎが餌を求めて人に寄ってくる、動物好きには天国のような島。
「猫島」は日本全国に多数存在していますが、「うさぎ島」はとても珍しい印象。
可愛すぎて楽しすぎて、定期的に行きたくなるお気に入りの場所です。
Okunoshima, a small island with a circumference of 4.3 km, is located 3 km offshore from Tadanoumi Town in Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture.
The island is famous as “Rabbit Island” inhabited by approximately 1,000 rabbits.
The island has attracted attention from around the world and is a popular spot visited by many tourists, both domestic and international.
Today, the island is designated as a national park and is a paradise for rabbits, but it also has a dark history as it was once called “Poison Gas Island.
During the war, the island was apparently a base for the production of poison gas under army control, and was erased from maps for confidentiality reasons.
Even today, there are still relics related to poison gas in various places on the island, and a museum has been established to exhibit materials from that time.
However, when you actually visit the island, you will find that a tremendous number of rabbits come close to people in search of food, making the island a paradise for animal lovers.
There are many “cat islands” throughout Japan, but I have the impression that rabbit islands are very rare.
It is a favorite place that I want to visit regularly because it is too cute and fun.
※動画上ではわかりにくいですが、与えた餌で食べ残したものはその場に放置せず、全て回収して持ち帰っております。
Although it is difficult to see on the video, we do not leave uneaten food left over from the feeding on the spot, but collect all of it and bring it back home.
