I was so happy to walk through the beautiful morning in Miyajima with you! I’m enjoying the delicious chocolate with my husband. The train stopped on the way to Hiroshima Station, and I was a little worried… But the time I spent with the four of you was truly wonderful. Thank you so much. Rika

“Hiroshima 1 day”
“An amazing guide — extremely helpful, kind, professional, and above all able to convey what happened in a way that touches you more than any monument, while also showing you corners of the city very different from the usual ones.

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.
