"Exploring the history that lies in 'Rabbit Island'. A cycling guide tour to play and learn."

This is a lodging plan that combines a request for a 'cycling guide tour' set in Setouchi National Park and Okunoshima Island, along with a stay in a historical town.

While cycling and feeling the sea breeze, we will tour the island with explanations from a professional guide. We will learn about the many hidden stories of 'Rabbit Island' that can only be discovered with a guide.

Recommended Points

• Guide to "Secret Scenic Views": Utilizing the mobility of bicycles, we will take you to high points on the island that are difficult to reach on foot, as well as to photo spots highly recommended by the guide. Capture a memorable photo with the beautiful islands of the Seto Inland Sea in the background.

• Exploring history found only here: In front of ruins such as the remains of a battery and a power station, a guide explains episodes from that time in an easy-to-understand manner. It is a moment that stimulates intellectual curiosity, learning stories of the island that are not found in textbooks.

• Healing time with rabbits: Adorable rabbits that inhabit the island. The guide will carefully convey the rules for the rabbits to live healthily.
