Newly built private dog run
■Garden area renewed
We are pleased to announce that we will be offering a new private dog run for "dog owners. Those who cannot own a dog. The garden area of "Dog Cafe Katanoda Plus," which has been loved by many dog lovers since its opening in 2021, will be renewed and reopened as a dog run.
We aim to differentiate the dog run from the usual dog run on a large site and create a "private dog run (individual dog run)" where pet dogs that are not comfortable with other dogs can play freely and have a good time with their pet dogs.

What is the new "Private Dog Run Katanoda Plus"?
~A place where you can spend time with your dog alone.
A dog run is a great place for your dog to get exercise, relieve stress, and develop social skills. It is a lively environment with many different people and dogs, but accidents often occur because dogs can roam freely without leashes.
In a private dog run, you can spend an enjoyable time with your dog without worrying about the eyes of others.
This is a relaxation dog run where even dogs that are not good with dogs can relax with their owners and enjoy individual space with their dogs under the nature-rich sky of Kamikizuki.
For the summer vacation special, the private dog run is available for 1,000 yen per hour.
With the reopening of the facility, one of the features that will make it even more enjoyable for you and your therapy dog is the ability to play in the outside dog run.
You can now play in the dog run outside.
In addition, the wooden deck with succulent plants has been upgraded to a "photo spot" where you can take pictures of your dog.
In addition, we will also offer a tuk-tuk drive event for those who post a review of the event.

Dog Therapy Japan's therapy dogs are
Our therapy dogs grow up to love dogs because they are exposed to a lot of human touch from the time they are babies, and they spend a lot of time with their mother and older siblings. They are highly trained dogs that help to reduce the anxiety of people who are sick, injured, or mentally injured through interaction and companionship, and to help heal the mind and body by increasing their energy.
What is a therapy dog?
Therapy dogs act as a lubricant between people, helping to reduce stress and restore mental health by subconsciously releasing the guard between people who are strangers. They are the mainstay of dog therapy activities, which provide healing for the elderly by interacting with dogs and helping to prevent dementia by stimulating their lives.
■About Dog Therapy Japan
Therapy dogs are bred by people with disabilities and visit elderly people's facilities to provide opportunities to interact with dogs and bring smiles and healing to their faces. There are many people who need dog therapy, such as truants and the elderly, and it is becoming more and more necessary in society.
