About Ōkuno Shima
Ōkuno Shima is an island. Location: Hiroshima, Japan.
Ōkunoshima (Japanese: 大久野島) is a small island in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. It is considered to be part of the city of Takehara, Hiroshima Prefecture.

After World War II, Ōkunoshima was redeveloped as a park, and domestic rabbits were released on the island.
