4.When is the recommended time to visit this island?

Answer:The period from evening to morning.

The life pattern of the rabbit is nocturnal or crepuscular.
Thus, as for the rabbit, the period from evening to morning is the most active.

In addition, the rabbit of Okunoshima gets much food from a tourist in the daytime.
Therefore the rabbits are not active in the daytime.

Thus, you should stay at the vacation village if you can do it.

From the evening when there is not a day-trip-tourist is a chance. d(*゚ー゚*)

The rabbits are active at night.

The rabbit in the early morning is hungry very much.
Therefore it is very recommended to come in contact with a rabbit early in the morning. (Special privilege of the hotel guest!!)
