There exists a paradise for rabbit lovers in Kaga, located in the south of Ishikawa Prefecture. "Tsukiusagi no Sato (Moon Rabbit Village)" is a park where you can interact with free-roaming rabbits in the square and then go shopping at Japan's largest rabbit goods shop, which carries a wide selection. With prior reservations, you can enjoy various handmade experiences, and it is a place that everyone from adults to children can have fun. After the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen in March next year, it will take only about 15 minutes by taxi from Kaga Onsen Station, so be sure to come and spend a relaxing time with the fluffy bunnies.
The name "Tsukiusagi", meaning "Moon Rabbit", comes from an old beautiful legend about a rabbit who saved a village in Kaga from a flood in return to being previously saved by a kind man. Since then, it has been popular in Kaga as the moon rabbit that brings the moon and good luck (Tsuki, same pronunciation as "moon" in Japanese).
At Tsukiusagi no Sato in Kaga, you can spend a relaxing time with the rabbits in the square. Entry fees are 300 yen for adults, and there are free gloves and cute rabbit ears for rent. It's soothing to look for hidden rabbits and watch them sleep. There are vending machines selling rabbit food and snacks, so it's convenient to have some coins on hand. There is a Usagi Shrine (Rabbit Shrine) in the center of the square, and you can make a wish at the "Tsuki (good luck)" Usagi Shrine, which "brings you luck". They also sell cute rabbit-shaped Omikuji (sacred lots).
The store has over 2,000 rabbit goods, including stuffed animals, household goods, and handmade accessories made by artists! In addition, tastings and sales of freshly made sweets from the sweets workshop inside the store are available, so don't miss out on the popular sweets made with plenty of local ingredients. Be sure to take a look at the original limited goods and famous Hokuriku sweets that can only be purchased here as special souvenirs.
Rabbit lovers, let's hop into this bunny world! Tsukiusagi no Sato is the perfect place to spend a blissful and relaxing time surrounded by rabbits, which are famous as auspicious creatures.
