Rabbit Island
Rabbit Island is home to hundreds of friendly bunnies who approach tourists for food. Once this island was secluded as a secret base of the Imperial Japanese Army to produce lethal gas during WW II. And because of the poison gas development, it is thought that the test subjects included rabbits. After the war, the island restored peace and got well overrun by bunnies to become a Heaven of rabbits. Please enjoy being mobbed by adorable creatures and the beautiful nature there.

“Incredible tour with an incredible guide! ”
Kazumi is very knowledgeable about the entire Hiroshima area, and her English is perfect. I did the Miyajimacho tour, and Kazumi made some excellent recommendations for traveling from Hiroshima to the island and back. When we arrived to the island, the crowds were large so the line for the ropeway was several hours. Kazumi suggested we could hike up the mountain instead, which would be faster than waiting in line. The hike was steep, but absolutely worth it! Throughout the tour she was providing so much interesting information about Japan, Miyajima, and even Shinto traditions. She also made some excellent recommendations for my remaining time in Hiroshima. She truly went above and beyond as a guide!!!

Kazumi M.
Thank you so much for your great review. I am sorry glad to see your review and I am also really appreciate that you gave me the chance to hike to the top of Mt Misen. Not only as a guide but personally I enjoyed the path in Autumn forest. I hope you had a good time next day and enjoy Sumo in Fukuoka. Please take care of yourself and safe back to San Diego. Thank you Kazumi

“Hiroshima half-day and Miyajima full day tour wirh Keiko”
We had two absolutely delightful tours with Keiko. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about history and the two Japanese religions, Shinto and Buddhism, which were my particular interests, but she provided us with a wealth of information about anything we wanted to know. Moreover she is very polite, helpful, warm-hearted and can adapt the program very flexibly if necessary. We could not have found a more dedicated guide, thank you so much, Keiko Barbara & Werner

Keiko K.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. I truly enjoyed spending those two days with both of you. It was wonderful to see how much interest you had in Japanese culture and history—from the beautiful Shukkeien Garden, the children celebrating Shichi-Go-San at Gokoku Shrine, and the history of the Peace Memorial Park and Museum, to the hike up Mt. Misen and the religious philosophies behind our temples and shrines. I also won’t forget the relaxing time we spent together on the café terrace. I’m grateful to have shared such wonderful moments with both of you. Please do come back to Hiroshima again—I’ll be waiting for you with all my heart. Hugs, Kay (Keiko)
