Scheduled to open in April 2025, the Amami Rabbit Museum "QuruGuru" is located in Yamato Village on Amami Oshima island. Dedicated to the protection, research, and exhibition of the Amami rabbit—a national special natural monument of Japan—the facility can house up to 20 rabbits. A resident veterinarian will provide medical care and rehabilitation for injured rabbits, including those affected by traffic accidents, to help them return to the wild.
In addition to its role in conservation, the museum will serve as a hub for ecological research, environmental education, and public awareness, as well as a base for researchers. The name "QuruGuru" comes from an Amami dialect word meaning "deep black" and symbolizes the interconnected cycle of life.
