From a Dark, Poisoned Past to Fluffy Cuteness - Rabbit Island Japan - Travel Tuesday

97% of visitors to Rabbit Island go to see the bunnies, but travelers will also have a chance to also learn about the poison gas making history of the island once they get there as they see the derelict manufacturing and storage facilities around the island. Why are the rabbits there and who takes care of them are often questions asked by visitors- I will let you know if I see or hear any further details. Read more here on my MEDIUM post

The multiple travel destination narratives on Rabbit island are not necessarily a bad thing- come for the cute bunnies and take in some of the dark history of the island as well.
