If you're up for a visit to the biggest bunny meet-and-greet on the planet, Okunoshima is the destination for you. It's just like a rabbit cafe, except there are hundreds of friendly bunnies that mob you everywhere you go on this isolated island. From the moment you step off the ferry, rabbits come hopping from all directions as you pause at the visitor center, the shrine, and the grounds of the island's one hotel.
Even rain doesn't deter the resident rabbits from deserting their hidey-holes to get up close and personal, especially if you're carrying a bag of bunny chow. The rabbits come in all shapes and sizes, and are surprisingly happy and healthy-looking for animals that nobody formally cares for.
