For families with pet dogs, one of the biggest concerns is what to do with their dog when traveling. There are options to leave your dog at a pet hotel or with a friend, but many owners are worried about being separated from their dog. Some research has also shown that demand for pet tourism, where owners want to take their dogs with them on trips, is on the rise. However, in Japan, there are still only a limited number of accommodations that allow dogs, and many people are giving up on traveling. Therefore, at this facility, we aim to solve these problems and make traveling with your dog more familiar by taking advantage of the characteristics of a private villa that can be rented as a whole. By spending time with your dog, you can be more relaxed, and your dog can enjoy a
stress-free trip by spending time with a familiar owner. We hope that traveling with your dog will be more free and enjoyable. This facility will provide a new lodging experience that is close to dogs and their families, and aim to be a place where you can truly relax and feel like your “second home.” Efforts to create facilities where you can stay with your dog When setting up this dog-friendly villa, we will implement the following measures to ensure a comfortable stay with your dog. ■Establishment of a special wing for bringing your dog along Two private villas are reserved exclusively for dogs, providing the perfect space for guests to stay with their pets. The indoor flooring is made of non-slip material with a water-repellent coating, and a dog run has been installed in the garden area to create an environment where your dog can feel free.
