I heard the word pottering for the first time, did you all know it? It is a Japanese-made English word with ing added to the potter, which means to relax in British English or to hang around slowly for no purpose. Simply put, it seems to be cycling. I think cycling is good, but I learned a lot. I'll forget it soon. It seems quite comfortable to potter the Tatara Bridge. It seems that when you hit a clapping tree toward the dragon in the ceiling painting called "Singing Dragon", the sound echoes and you can hear the dragon ringing here as well. I definitely want to hear it.

To get to Okunojima, I will take a ferry from Chungcheong Port. One way adult one person 310 yen , one child 160 yen , arriving in Okuno Island in about 15 minutes. This time the plan Sun , but is the way home, the sea on the island Wed baths and an outdoor pool, campground, there is also a tennis court, in the hotel "Ōkunoshima Village vacation" Hot spring can also be enjoyed. (The island is the only accommodation) street called "Rabbit Island", 700 birds of the size of the various colors and ears more the wild of the rabbit us (all Rabbit) is not inhabited, photographs, or raise the bait You can enjoy movie pictures and enjoy it. I knew that tourists would give me food, so I was scared of being honest as it gathers crowded with tremendous efforts. There were times when the voice of the natural enemy crow aiming for such rabbits was reverberating, there was also an atmosphere that just "cute" did not finish. Also, due to tourists who give sweets and bread, rabbits lose physical condition, rabbits raise food at dangerous places where there are car streets, rabbits are run over by cars, hugs and falls and fractures There is a problem of being done, so be sure to observe the rules of the island.

To briefly introduce the history of Okunoshima, poisonous gas for use in the Pacific War was produced here, and the existence of the island itself disappeared from the map in the early Showa period to maintain its confidentiality. Many war ruins are left in nature, such as the building built for the defense of the Geiyo Fortress and the remains of the battery. Rabbits are kept for animal experiments in poisonous gas factories, and there is a theory that they survived at that time, but this is incorrect because all the rabbits were slaughtered during the postwar poisonous gas-related treatment. It seems that the theory that the rabbits that are currently in use that were kept in elementary school became wild and bred is predominant. You can learn more at the Okunoshima Visitor Center of the Ministry of the Environment and the Poison Gas Museum on the island.
