Kinugawa International Hotel: A Pet-Friendly Accommodation with Three Dog Runs

We stayed as three families, using three Rooms.Only our family brought a dog.We used the private family bath with our dog, and he absolutely loved it—I truly felt glad we brought him. He also really enjoyed the dog run. It may be an ideal Accommodation for dogs.As for people, though, for this price I think we could have stayed at an Accommodation two levels higher. I felt bad for having invited my parents and relatives along.All the staff were kind, and I have no complaints about that. However, the Facilities and the large public bath (the one on the first floor has only five washing stations) didn’t feel worth the price.I think this is an Accommodation best suited to those who don’t mind paying extra in order to stay with their pets.If we come again, we’ll come only as our own family with our dog, without inviting my parents or relatives.

In October, we celebrated the birthdays of my wife and our only daughter (a Chi-Poo) with a special trip to "Kinugawa Kokusai Hotel." It was such a wonderful accommodation, especially since it's rare to find facilities where you can stay with pets.As it was for a birthday celebration, they kindly accepted our cake reservation—thank you so much!This hotel is truly pet-friendly! Upon check-in, they took a commemorative photo of the whole family with our dog. We rarely get such opportunities, so it made us very happy. The hotel's interior is filled with dog-related items like plush toys and paintings. You can also see unique pieces collected by the owner from around the world—it felt like being in an art museum.There’s an indoor dog run, so even on rainy days your pet can play. During our stay, it rained one day, but thanks to this facility, our dog got plenty of exercise. Afterward, we used the outdoor onsen for dogs—it was her first time and she seemed both curious and cautious (haha). Of course, the onsen for humans was absolutely amazing too!For meals, you can choose between dining in your room or at a banquet hall. This time I chose the banquet hall option—the food was incredibly delicious! They also provide meals for dogs which is very helpful (our pup finished hers in no time!).The room had pet amenities like toilet sheets available as well, allowing us to relax comfortably together.If you're traveling with dogs or cats—this place is highly recommended!They even have quizzes prepared for guests—be sure to try them out during your stay; we had so much fun! I definitely want to stay here again when visiting Kinugawa.Thank you for creating such wonderful memories!!!
