Family Trips with Pets

This time, we stayed at a traditional Japanese accommodation with our children and our Shiba Inu. While pet-friendly accommodations are becoming more common, this place truly felt like "living here," offering a relaxing and peaceful experience. The building itself had a lot of character, immediately putting us in a relaxed mood. The children excitedly ran around saying, "It's so spacious! Let's explore!" Meanwhile, our Shiba Inu was initially a bit hesitant but quickly found her favorite spot to relax. Not only was this accommodation pet-friendly, but the room was also spacious enough for our Shiba Inu to move freely in an unfamiliar environment, which seemed to be a refreshing change for her. At night, it was quiet and peaceful. Our Shiba Inu settled down completely and slept soundly even without her usual bed. The children were delighted by the traditional toys like kendama and karuta provided in the room. They played with them until bedtime without touching their iPads—a service my wife and I greatly appreciated. This trip allowed us to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and spend quality time together as a family. The kids said they wanted to come back again, and seeing how relaxed our Shiba Inu was made us happy too. For anyone looking for pet-friendly accommodation, we highly recommend this place!
