The Only Bunny Island in the World 🏝️🐇 Visiting Japan’s Rabbit Paradise ✨

[@bengtal]

that sunset behind the 3-rabbits, around the 20-minute-mark, is MAGICAL and beautiful ❤

[@experience_japan]

I’m so glad you caught that magical sunset! It’s one of my favorite moments from the trip.

[@carolbarrow522]

Hi ​@@experience_japan

[@KelBel10]

I follow a couple other Japanese KZbinrs and you're the first one to do a video about this island! I didn't even know it existed. I would have a hard time following the "no petting the rabbits" rule. They look so cute and soft! But I understand they are wild :) thanks for the video!

[@experience_japan]

I’m so glad I could introduce you to this island! The rabbits are super cute, but you’re right-they’re wild and should be respected. Thanks for watching!

[@maenriquez8402]

OMG I can't wait to watch this long video!!!! It's like Christmas came early! I gotta warm up some soup, let the dog out, and then I'll snuggle up by the Christmas tree and enjoy this video! Thank you for making it! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a happy New Year to all! ❤

[@experience_japan]

That sounds like the perfect way to enjoy the video! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you too! Wishing you a wonderful New Year!

[@mostawesomecomment6553]

I was not expecting this from your channel, but I am very happy to see it! Great video, thanks (:

[@experience_japan]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

[@andrea6421]

Adorable! Those bunnies were more interested in your veggies than that other food I think haha 😂 thanks for a wonderful video 😊

[@experience_japan]

Haha, you’re probably right! Bunnies sure know what they like. So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@michelleharrell8452]

What an awesome sunset. That rich orange color.

[@michelleharrell8452]

Of course you have food in that bag which the bunnies can smell. They love you.

[@free-the-whales]

Your channel and videos are excellent! 💯 They are very educational, interesting, and tranquil. I love your peaceful travel videos! Can't wait for more ^ w ^

[@experience_japan]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoy my videos. 😊

[@VikxMasha]

Had the pleasure of going here in 2018. Loved it.

[@experience_japan]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Hope you can visit again someday!

[@IwantRoses]

I had pet rabbits when I was younger. One of them, my favorite one lived 15 years. She was so special to me.

[@CharleneLePage-o4b]

Domo for using my suggestion! Great video!

[@TheHighwayHare]

Thank you for this wonderful, relaxing tour of Rabbit island. That place has been on my bucket list for many years now. Japan is absolutely stunning.

[@experience_japan]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and that it inspires you to visit someday!

[@Chocolate_dragon]

My 8 year old daughter and I have watched every one of your videos in the last year. Our plan is when she graduates high school we are going to take a month long trip to Japan. A lot of the places you visit have been added to a list of places we want to see!

[@experience_japan]

What a wonderful plan! I can’t wait for you and your daughter to enjoy your trip to Japan. I’m so happy my videos have helped inspire your list of places to visit!

[@billhoward351]

This is a really GREAT adventure!!! I bet the youth love going there to see and feed the rabbit population. thank you for another wonderful video!!

[@experience_japan]

I agree, it's a magical place for kids and adults alike!

[@freegreenbird]

My favorite highlights ✨ -the Port Store is absolutely beautiful ❤️ the architects deserve much kudos -the sunset 🌞 ☁️ was so beautiful -i never thought I'd see the day Cola Man ♂️ would catch bunnies 🐇 ALMOST hunching 😅😂 talk about a private moment lol This homemade movie 🎥 was nice, gracias from Puerto Rico 🙏🇵🇷

[@MnACreations]

That was really neat! The rabbits are so cute! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

[@darlene5216]

Awwwww...what beautiful bunny hops ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Oyares5360]

Experience Japan getting attacked by cute bunnies 😂! I would be content just watching the sunrise or sunset with adorable bunnies for company. This video was a joy to watch! Thank you, EJ 🙏

[@experience_japan]

It really is a magical place, isn’t it? 🐇✨

[@mariversteeg6741]

Me as almost a livelong fan (haha) of your channel and videos must applaud you once again for making this very calming, soothing and most of all ''rabbiting'' 😁 video. The irony in this is that this island was once a spooky place, but got totally converted into a paradise full of bunny hopping creatures. I wish you a very nice Christmas with lots of love, joy and happiness. And ofcourse a prosper new year with lots of videos to come ❤

[@experience_japan]

Thanks so much for your kind words and support as always! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and an amazing new year filled with happiness and joy! 🐰💖

[@tabithacraig9329]

What a beautiful Island, with the cutest and fluffy bunny's. I know rabbits are always hungry. Their like eat poop sleep and repeat. That sunset was breath taking, with the orange yellow and red playing off the water.Your little bunny was a great sovereign to put with your collection. The food they offered was amazing, I could smell the steak cooking on the grill from here. The hotel was beautiful to be older and big. This video and all of the other goes to show you that we are learning more and more of the beauty and history of Japan. Saying Thank you is not enough,so I show my gratitude by the heart I give. Thank you my Japanese friend. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Your videos are the guiding stars of my journey, illuminating my path to Japan, my one true love. Whether it's mastering Japanese or chasing dreams of a life there, your wisdom has been my compass. You are my window to Japan, my eyes that see its beauty and possibility. For that, I am endlessly grateful.

[@experience_japan]

Thank you for your kind words, it means so much to hear that my videos inspire you on your journey to Japan!

[@ashleymichaels8916]

Please go back in April! I wanna see the baby buns!!!!!!! ❤ I love your videos! Hope you have a great holiday season!!! ❤

[@experience_japan]

Thanks! I'll definitely keep that in mind for future trips! 🐇💖

[@JoshuaMatos-f3w]

This is kawaii that you can safely feed these little bunnies their favorite snacks🍅🥔🥕

[@experience_japan]

It really is adorable, isn’t it? They love their snacks so much!

[@Hailstormand]

"Have you eaten too much?" Yeah that's me.

So glad you enjoyed it! Bunnies really are the cutest!

[@nowhere-0o0-o]

Wow that sunset was gorgeous! I want to visit there just for that, though the feeding and hanging out with the rabbits I'd want to do as well. Plus take home one of those adorable plushies. :) Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@experience_japan]

The sunset really is amazing, isn’t it? Hope you get to visit someday and enjoy everything, including those cute plushies!

[@angelaaz6282]

I’m going to get myself a bunch of carrots and enjoy watching the video! I’m only hoping that I don’t loose any teeth or any fillings while watching this 🥕🥕🥕video

[@experience_japan]

That's the spirit! Get those carrots ready for a rabbit-filled adventure. 🥕😄

[@senatorcthulu1815]

I need to try and get here next year when i go back to Japan. I think it should be the first thing i plan. Keep up the great work.

[@experience_japan]

You should!

[@sharonsmith9250]

I love bunnies- I was a mom to a bunny for 6 years

[@TheJCJexe]

Wow! Cool island, one day I will visit Japan and make sure to go to rabbit island! Thanks for making these videos about Japan!

[@experience_japan]

It’s an amazing place! I hope you get to visit someday!

53:10 this is the best moment when after we spend time in island the feri or ship come ,as a asia we lucky stay in island ,like me stay in southeast asia have so many island like indonesia or thailand

[@thany3]

I've been here! It's interesting to see how things may have changed. The Tadanoumi ferry terminal has certainly had an upgrade. And the small rabbits from back then have surely become adults ❤

[@alxlyon]

What an absolute amazing place to visit and stay. Brilliant video thank you 😊 🙏

[@fmalovegirl98]

I made a design project about this island when I first started studying graphic design at vocational school. We had to make a travel poster and brochure and ofc, I wanted to pick Japan. Obviously I wanted to pick something else than Tokyo so I found Okunoshima and fell in love haha. It's so cool to see the island via videos and get excited about bunnies haha. Maybe one day too I'm able to visit but for now, I'll just enjoy the place from the vids like these ones. Thank you for the upload and share!

[@experience_japan]

That’s such a cool story! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video and that it brought back nice memories of your project. I hope you get to visit the island someday and meet the bunnies in person! 🐇💖

[@RiverrattRatt]

It's a good thing I know military time. Nice watch!

[@experience_japan]

I'm glad you noticed! It helps keep me on track. 😉

[@Paper_Ghosty]

Ah so cute! 🥰 I would love to visit here 🥰

[@swissfoodie3542]

A colleague was recently there, and his feedback was: difficult to get to with public transport & not worth going there, if there are no young kids traveling with you. I am quite sure that after watching your video, my opinion will be different from his. So thanks already for the long video, I am looking forward to enjoy it.

[@experience_japan]

Thank you for giving it a chance! I hope the video helps you see it in a new light.

[@swissfoodie3542]

@@experience_japan I really enjoyed your video. Okunoshima looks so peaceful and the nature so calming. If I go there one day, I will spend the night, so that I can enjoy a sunset and walking around the island in the early morning. When there a few people around, its the most beautiful for me.

[@blumberg1982]

Your friend is a Debbie downer. He needs to lighten up.

Listening to a true crime podcast while watching these cute rabbits. Sounds weird, but its a perfect balance.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dmrer9gskmrl9]

Uhh 🐇rabbit Planet 😬💯

[@Squirel]

It's so cool that an island that once produced so much horror is now a peaceful haven for nature and rabbits. Rabbits are so cute and cuddly and they make awesome pets - as long as they are contained and not released on to agricultural land. Seven rabbits eat as much grass as one sheep and at the rate at which they breed, they soon have more than enough to destroy pasture or crops. Early European settlers in New Zealand introduced rabbits for hunting, (there were no native mammals in New Zealand that could be hunted). At the same time, people were trying to establish farming as a viable industry and because there were no natural predators, the rabbits almost took over the farmland. There burrows are dangerous to other animals such as sheep, cattle and horses who are at risk of stepping in the burrows and breaking their legs. European settlers made some very poor choices when they came here - in fact, when they went anywhere. However, it was nice to see them enjoying a life of peace and freedom in their own environment. Thank you as always for a fun and interesting video. 🐰🐰🐰

[@experience_japan]

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and insightful comment! It’s fascinating (and sobering) to hear about the history of rabbits in New Zealand and the impact they had on farming and the environment. You’re absolutely right-introducing non-native species without considering the long-term consequences often led to significant challenges, not just in New Zealand but worldwide. I agree, it’s amazing to see rabbits thriving in such a peaceful, natural environment where they belong and aren’t causing harm. It’s a reminder of the delicate balance needed when it comes to nature and human intervention. Thank you for taking the time to share this, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 🐇✨

[@JoshuaMatos-f3w]

Its like the rabbits hear you coming with bag of snacks you are not even near them and they are all running towards you saying feed me🐰🥕🥬SUGOI👍✌️

[@experience_japan]

It really is incredible how they sense the snacks!

[@ScottMcMaster-er4xj]

[@armandoj.s.r.8830]

❤❤❤

[@addicted2me]

Does that mean that the rabbits rely on tourist to feed them? Cos u said the numbers shrink when there are no tourist from covid 19. Is there nothing to eat on that island? 😢 I thought there should be more greenery cos there will.be poop everywhere to fertilise the ground. Maybe there are too many rabbits that the ground don't have enough time to flourish?

[@experience_japan]

Great observations! The island does have limited natural food, and the large rabbit population does impact the greenery. Tourists help fill the gap by feeding them.

[@bengtal]

during the pandemic, they went through a relative-hell ☹

[@JoshuaMatos-f3w]

What's up doc🐰🥕. I see random bunny's near my house in Chicago where I live and they are the opposite. When they see me they right away bolt out of there a la fast and furious

[@experience_japan]

Haha, those Chicago bunnies sure sound speedy! These ones are definitely more laid-back and people-friendly.

[@Marigen1971]

Excellent video! Question, Can a person cycle around the island? Also, Is there an island like this but with cats?

[@anvietanh6723]

Yes there's a cat Island

[@experience_japan]

Yes and yes

That "stick" looked like a scope to see parts of the island and stars at night. I seen them a lot in tourist destinarions, just not that old and weathered. 17:25

Wow! What a cool place. I love feeding animals. This vid made me hungry because rabbit is my favorite meat to eat. Do Japanese people eat rabbit?

[@experience_japan]

Thank you for watching and for your comment! Feeding animals is definitely a fun and relaxing experience. As for eating rabbit, it’s not very common in Japan. Japanese cuisine focuses more on fish, chicken, pork, and beef, so rabbit meat isn’t typically part of the diet here. However, in some regions or specialty restaurants, it might be available as a rare or unique dish. Glad you enjoyed the video, even if it made you hungry! 🐇😊
