[Rabbit Island in Hiroshima] But it was once erased from the map and used to produce poison gas!

It was once an island that was erased from the map!

It was once called “the island that was erased from the map” because of its poison gas factories.

Even today, the site of the former poison gas factory still remains.

There is also a poison gas museum on the island.
