I went in November and March. In November, there were few visitors so dozens of rabbits were literally chasing us and climbing on us for food. In March, there were many people so the rabbits were full even early in the morning and didn’t want to eat as much as people just dump big piles of food everywhere. If you are going, please consider bringing food they can actually eat everyday, it’s not good for their health to eat carrot so much and unfortunately, it’s what people bring most of the time. I found that they like bok choy and celery way better than other vegetables (especially the leaves). Many times, the rabbits refused to eat other people’s carrots/cabbages (I guess they were almost full) but were still going after our food.

Beautiful, rustic, peaceful. Some shops were still opened around 4pm but not many. Missed the Tsukimi festival over the weekend 28/29 Oct 2023.

Dint want to pay to enter, but you could explore the grounds surrounding the musuem. Pretty cool place!

施設はとても充実しています。駐車スペースは少ないです。休憩スペースは広く ソファーやテーブルも用意されているので快適です。徒歩でも行ける町並み保存地区は静かで観光スポットになっています。 (Translated by Google) The facilities are very complete. Parking space is limited. The rest space is wide There are also sofas and tables so it's comfortable. The townscape preservation area, which can be reached on foot, is quiet and has become a tourist spot.

(Translated by Google) Omishima was a very nice place. When I stayed overnight for an academic conference-related event held at Omishima Space, I rented a car and went to see the art spots scattered around the island. You can see everything in about 30 minutes, so you can go around art -> short drive -> art -> drive -> sometimes shrines, etc. At Omishima Brewery, you can buy craft beer in cans on the spot (there's also a parking lot), so it's great to buy on the drive and drink at your hotel in the evening. Omishima Shrine was a wonderful place with a very pure and solemn feeling. Nearby, there was a hamburger restaurant that used wild boar, the prize-winning gibier in Japan, and it was very stylish, so I thought Omishima was a great place for young people to enjoy themselves. Ta. When Omishima's accommodation capacity was low, which was the case for me except for one night, I would choose a hotel near Imabari Station and cross the bridge from there to visit many times. Although there is a toll on the expressway, the experience of crossing the bridge itself is fun, so even though I drove back and forth from Imabari Station to Omishima three times, it was a fun drive and I could feel the sea breeze. If you head from Imabari to Omishima, you will first see Oshima and then Hakatajima on the way. Oshima is the first island, and there are quite a few people getting off, so if you think it's interesting and want to get off, you can try it. Oshima also has a large eating and drinking area, and the observatory where you can see the sunset recommended by the Emotional Information Center (Kirosan Observatory Park: Kiro-san, ka, Kirou-san, although I had a hard time pronouncing it, Kiro-san) , on top of a mountain), where you can see a spectacular sunset. When you come here, you will intuitively understand why Imabari Towel's symbol is ah. It's also really fun to ride a boat on Oshima's Noshima Suigun. Due to the topography of the ocean floor near the island in the Seto Inland Sea, there are rapids and steps, but the mischievous captain's maneuvering of the boat as it plunges through the rapids is amazing. By the way, the second island, Hakatajima, seemed to be a residential area and there was no tourist information area for tourists to get off and enjoy it, so I just passed by. In addition to crossing by car, it is also interesting to rent a bicycle at the starting point of the Imabari River bridge and try a round trip to Oshima. (Original) 大三島（おおみしま）は、とてもいい所でした。 大三島スペースで開かれた学会関連イベントで宿泊に行った際に、レンタカーで島中に点在するアートスポットを見に行きました。 どれも30分ぐらいでみれるので、アート→ショートドライブ→またアート→ドライブ→時々神社、みたいな感じで、サクサク回れます。 大三島ブリュワリーさんでは、クラフトビールをその場で缶に詰めたものも買えるので、（駐車場もあるので）、ドライブの途中で買って、夜に宿に飲むと最高にうまいです。 大三島神社は、ものすごく清廉な、厳かな気持ちになれる、素敵な場所でした。 その近くでは、日本一の賞を取ったジビエのイノシシを使った、ハンバーグやさんがあったりして、そこがまたとてもおしゃれなので、若い人が楽しむのに、大三島はかなりいいな、と思いました。 大三島の宿泊キャパが少ない場合は、私も一泊以外はそうだったのですが、今治駅の近くに拠点となるホテルを取ってそこから、橋を越えて何度も遊びに行っていました。高速道路代もかかりますが、橋を渡る体験自体も楽しいので、今治駅前～大三島の往復は3度ぐらいしても、潮風を感じる楽しいドライブでした。 なお、今治から大三島に向かうと、途中にまず、大島、次に伯方島、があります。大島は最初の島で、降りる人もそこそこいるので、面白いのかな、ということで降りたくなったら降りてみるのもいいでしょう。 大島には、大きな飲食エリアもありますし、感情案内所でお薦めされた夕日の見える展望台（亀老山展望公園：きろさん、か、きろうさん、か発音が微妙でしたが、きろうさん、という山の上）があり、絶景の夕日が見えます。今治タオルのシンボルがなぜああなのかを、ここに来ると、直感的に理解できます。 また、大島の能島水軍（のしますいぐん）で船に乗るのも、すごく面白いです。瀬戸内のなかに島のそばの海底の地形上、急流があって段差があるですが、その中をぐるぐると突っ込んでいく、やんちゃな船長の船操作、すごいです。 なお、二つ目の島の伯方島は、住宅地のようで観光客が降りて楽しむエリアは観光案内的になかったので素通りしていました。 自動車で渡る以外にも、今治川の橋の起点となる場所で自転車を借りて、大島への往復をトライしてみるのも面白いです。
