Japanese Man Smothered in Bunnies

From deliciously tender and fresh sushi to temples adorned with gold leaf, Japan is without a doubt a destination to add to your list of must-sees. Small the country may be, but vast are its attractions, and where better to visit than a country that boasts an island overflowing with bunnies. Bunnies! For many, that’s a childhood dream come true.

To fully appreciate all the wildlife Japan has to offer (and, thanks to the country’s wide range of climatic zones, many animals, from snow monkeys to raccoon dogs, thrive there), your best bet is to hire a tour guide. Not only will Japan’s guides tell you about how the green pheasant came to be the country’s national bird, they’ll explain the story behind the island of Ōkunoshima, and, more specifically, how it earned the name Usagi Jima, or ”Rabbit Island.” Lying in a field of bunnies is just one reason why you’ll want to board the next plane to Japan, and Japan’s top-of-the-line tour guides are well worth the visit too.
