Japan Quietly

Ryokan that welcome dogs

A small number of Japanese inns take dogs, and the ones that do it properly go well beyond allowing them in the room — private runs, grooming rooms, sometimes a spring-fed bath for the dog. The rules differ sharply and are stated only in Japanese: breed and size limits, whether the dog may be left alone in the room, whether it may use the room bath. We record what each property actually allows.
