Random information: the article shows an image from Okunoshima Island. Today, this is also called Rabbit Island. It is chock full of rabbits of all colors. There is also at least one hotel on the island and a little museum that tells the dark past of this island. Rumor has it, the rabbits were used as test subjects for the chemical weapons and were freed after the war, multiplying uncontrolled. Everywhere you look, there is a group of fluffy rabbits. I’ve been there for a day and it was a nice experience. The museum lacked English explanations for most of its exhibits though. But this was some years ago, may have changed.

The article mentions this as well:

> The tiny island in the Seto Inland Sea off Takehara, Hiroshima Prefecture, is a popular tourist destination known for being the home of hundreds of bunnies, but it was once a "poison gas island" where the Imperial Japanese Army secretly manufactured chemical weapons from around 1930 to the end of the war.
