Tip
TL;DR — Three things to internalize before you start comparing properties: - No communal onsen for dogs. Ever. Japan has no exceptions. A pet-friendly ryokan means a private in-room rotenburo or a kashikiri-buro slot — your dog stays in the room or on a leash in designated outdoor areas, never in the bathing facility. Properties that say "pet-friendly onsen" mean *humans can soak in private while dogs wait nearby* — not that dogs enter the water. - Size category drives everything. Rooms are categorized as small-dog (≤10 kg), medium (≤20 kg), or all-size (large included). The strongest large-dog options in Japan right now are the Regina Resort series (Old Karuizawa, Izu Murin, Yufuin) and Yufuin Garden Hotel Dog Run & Resort — all accept dogs of any size with private rotenburo. Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort Hikari no Uta caps at 10 kg. Always confirm the kg ceiling when you book — refusing a 25 kg dog at check-in is a real risk at smaller properties. - Pet supplements run ¥2,000–¥10,000/night plus optional cleaning deposit. Cheapest verified: Hiogiso (Mie) at ¥2,000/dog. Mid: Lake Toya Tsuruga at ¥5,500/dog. Luxury Regina Resort properties bundle the supplement into the suite rate — read the room description carefully, since the headline price already assumes a pet companion.

Finding a pet-friendly ryokan in Japan is harder in English than it should be. The Japanese-language infrastructure is mature — Jalan's pet filter, Ikyu's 一休 pet category, dedicated portals like petomo.jp and inu-yado.com — but the English summaries are thin and contradictory. This guide cuts through that. It explains the dog-size room system, answers the onsen-access question honestly, lists current pet supplements, and walks through 8 verified properties from Hokkaido to Kyushu with the rules nobody publishes in their five-star listings.
Pet ownership in Japan has been remarkably stable — about 16 million dogs and cats are kept as companion animals as of 2024 [verified Japan Pet Food Association 2026-05-26], and the domestic pet travel market has been one of the post-pandemic growth segments for Japanese hospitality. Tokyo Tatemono Resort opened Regina Resort Yufuin — its first Kyushu dog-friendly luxury property — in November 2025 [verified Tokyo Tatemono press release 2026-05-26], and Wan's Resort and Regina Resort now run more than a dozen sister properties between them. The infrastructure exists. You just need to know which questions to ask before you put down a deposit.

Can dogs use onsen in Japan? The honest answer
Short answer: no, your dog will not enter a public onsen anywhere in Japan. And not for cultural reasons — for legal ones. Japan's Public Bath Law (公衆浴場法) regulates communal bathing facilities for human use; veterinary hygiene standards prohibit shared bathing between humans and animals. Even at the most pet-welcoming ryokan in the country, communal baths, family kashikiri-buro reserved for human guests, and rotenburo accessed via the bath corridor are all off-limits to dogs. Staff will redirect you politely the first time and less politely the second.
The workaround that every pet-friendly ryokan uses is the private in-room rotenburo (kyakushitsu-rotenburo). This is a separate bath built into your room or your room's attached terrace, fed by the same onsen source as the main facility but plumbed independently. You bathe in it. Your dog waits on the tatami a meter away or curls up on the deck while you soak. No staff member enters. No other guest sees. The water drains separately and the room is deep-cleaned after every checkout. This is the standard configuration at Regina Resort Old Karuizawa, Regina Resort Izu Murin, Regina Resort Yufuin, and Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort Hikari no Uta — every property on this list has at least some rooms configured this way.
A small number of pet-friendly properties offer a separate dog washing facility (a deep utility sink or a grooming room with handheld shower) for muddy paws after a walk. Yufuin Garden Hotel Dog Run & Resort and Regina Resort Karuizawa Mikage Yosui both have these. This is not an onsen for the dog — it is plain warm water for cleaning purposes — but it solves the practical "how do I de-mud a Labrador after a trail walk" problem that most ryokans simply leave to the guest.

Tip
What to ask when booking: "Does the room I'm reserving have a kyakushitsu-rotenburo (private in-room outdoor bath)? Can I use it freely without booking a kashikiri slot?" The answer should be unambiguously yes for both. If the answer is "the private bath is in a separate building / requires booking / requires going through the lobby in a yukata" — that property is not a comfortable fit when you are also managing a dog.
Dog-size categories explained: small, medium, large, and the kg ceilings nobody publishes
Japanese pet-friendly accommodations are categorized by dog weight, not by breed. The categories are not universally standardized but most properties follow a 10/20/large pattern. Read the room description carefully — at smaller properties, exceeding the weight limit by even 2 kg can be grounds for refusal at check-in.
| Category | Weight | Typical Configuration | Properties Verified | |---|---|---|---| | Small dog | ≤ 10 kg | Most pet-friendly rooms; kennel/crate provided | All 8 properties on this list | | Medium dog | ≤ 20 kg | Designated rooms; some breed restrictions | Hiogiso, Wan's Resort Yamanakako, Yufuin Garden Hotel | | Large dog (all-size) | No weight limit | Villa or maisonette format; private fenced run | Regina Resort series (Old Karuizawa, Izu Murin, Yufuin), Rakuten STAY VILLA Hakone Sengokuhara | | Multiple dogs | Often 2 maximum | Per-dog supplement; both must meet size cap | All 8 properties (verify exact count) |
The all-size category is the real find for travelers with Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and other 25–35 kg companions. Until 2020 these were genuinely hard to place in Japan. The post-2020 expansion of Regina Resort, Wan's Resort, and several boutique operators has shifted the landscape — large-dog ryokan options now exist in every major region except the dense urban core of Tokyo and Osaka.
Tip
Weight verification: Bring a recent photo of your dog on a scale, or your most recent vet record showing weight. At Regina Resort and similar premium properties, this is rarely checked. At smaller family-run inns, it can be — particularly if the booking was done in English and the staff are managing language overhead at check-in.
Pet supplements and cleaning fees: typical ranges and what they cover
Pet supplements at Japanese ryokans run ¥2,000–¥10,000 per dog, per night, with a long tail of luxury properties charging more. The fee is rarely refundable. A separate refundable cleaning deposit (¥5,000–¥20,000) may apply at higher-end properties — this is returned at checkout if the room passes inspection.
What the supplement actually pays for varies. At budget pet-accepting properties, it covers slightly elevated cleaning costs (lint roller, vacuum, replacement of any chewed amenity). At Regina Resort and Wan's Resort, the supplement is bundled into the room rate already — you are paying a 20–40% premium over a comparable non-pet room, and that premium includes the deep clean, the pet amenity set (food bowls, deodorant spray, toilet sheets, dog yukata at some properties), and operational overhead for staff trained to handle dogs in dining areas.
Properties verified pet supplement breakdown (May 2026):
- Ise-Shima Ryokan Hiogiso (Mie): ¥2,000 per dog [verified Hiogiso official site 2026-05-26] - Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort Hikari no Uta (Hokkaido): ¥5,500 per dog [verified Hikari no Uta official site 2026-05-26] - Yufuin Sanso Waremokou (Oita): ¥3,240 per dog [verified property listing 2026-05-26] - Regina Resort series (all): Supplement bundled into room rate — no separate line item, but headline room rate is positioned as a pet-inclusive package - Rakuten STAY VILLA Hakone Sengokuhara: Verify directly; villa-type pricing tends to include pet accommodation in the base rate
Regardless of the property's policy, damage to the room — chewed shoji screens, scratched tatami edges, soiled futon — is billed separately and at a deterrent rate (¥10,000+ for tatami panel replacement). This is universal.
Tip
Booking Tip: Ask at booking time: "What is the per-dog supplement, and is there a separate refundable cleaning deposit? Is any damage assessed separately?" Get all three numbers in writing before you finalize. Smaller ryokans sometimes communicate these only at check-in, which is too late if your travel budget is tight.
Mountain leash rules and hiking-onsen combos
Most Japanese national parks require dogs on leashes no longer than 2 meters at all times on marked trails. The Karuizawa Wild Bird Sanctuary explicitly welcomes leashed dogs on its 3 km woodchip-paved loop [verified Karuizawa Tourist Association 2026-05-26], making it one of the few Tokyo-accessible nature areas that combines a forested walk with onsen ryokan availability afterward. Mt. Yufu lower trails (accessible from the Yufuin onsen area), Lake Yamanaka shoreline (Mt. Fuji-view), and the Old Karuizawa main street are also dog-walkable on leash.
What you cannot do: enter the onsen bathhouse interior with the dog, take the dog onto temple grounds without explicit signage, or enter most ropeway gondolas (Hakone Ropeway and Mt. Yufu ropeway both prohibit dogs except in a carrier). For combination hikes, plan a route that ends at the ryokan itself rather than a ropeway summit. The Karuizawa–Asama foothills, Izu Kogen plateau, and Yufuin basin all offer good dog-walkable trails with ryokan endpoints.
Pack mountain essentials regardless of season: a 2-meter leash (not a retractable — many properties refuse retractables specifically), poop bags, water bowl, and paw wipes. Mountain leash rules are strictly enforced in Hokkaido (Lake Toya, Niseko) and around Mt. Fuji — fines apply for off-leash incidents.
Top 8 pet-friendly ryokans in Japan (2026)

The eight properties below are organized roughly north-to-south. All accept dogs as a primary positioning — these are not human-first hotels where dogs are tolerated, but properties built around the assumption that your dog is part of the booking party. Read the size limits carefully.
| Property | Region | Dog Size | Onsen Format | Est. Price/Night | |---|---|---|---|---| | Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort Hikari no Uta | Hokkaido | ≤10 kg | Twin Dog Room, ¥5,500/dog | ¥35,000+ | | Regina Resort Old Karuizawa | Nagano | All-size | In-room rotenburo, dog run | ¥45,000+ | | Regina Resort Karuizawa Mikage Yosui | Nagano | All-size | In-room onsen, grass dog run | ¥40,000+ | | Wan's Resort Yamanakako | Yamanashi | All-size | Rooftop dog park, Mt. Fuji view | ¥30,000+ | | Rakuten STAY VILLA Hakone Sengokuhara | Kanagawa | All-size (villa) | In-villa onsen, private garden | ¥35,000+ | | Regina Resort Izu Murin | Shizuoka | All-size | Sukiya-style, in-room sea-view rotenburo | ¥50,000+ | | Ise-Shima Ryokan Hiogiso | Mie | ≤medium | Cypress bath, in-room dining | ¥25,000+ (¥2,000/dog) | | Regina Resort Yufuin | Oita | All-size | Detached villa, 160 m² private dog run | ¥55,000+ |
1. Regina Resort Old Karuizawa — Nagano (all-size dogs) ⭐ Editor's Pick: Best Overall
Old Karuizawa is Japan's most-developed pet-friendly resort area, and Regina Resort Old Karuizawa is the pick that combines the strongest dog infrastructure with a genuinely ryokan-feeling room interior. The property runs as a suite-only operation: every room is configured around the assumption that you arrived with a dog and intend to keep it close. The in-room rotenburo is fed from the property's own spring, the dog run is grass (not artificial turf, which can burn paws in summer), and grooming and washing facilities are on-site. [verified Ikyu listing 2026-05-26]
What makes this work for first-time visitors traveling with a dog is the operational simplicity. Check-in is in the lobby with the dog on leash. Meals are taken in the room or in a dog-accompanied dining space — no separate sitting required. The cool highland climate (Karuizawa sits at about 950 m elevation) means even thick-coated breeds like Bernese, Samoyed, and Golden Retriever stay comfortable in summer. Easy day trips: Karuizawa Wild Bird Sanctuary's 3 km loop (leash required), Old Karuizawa Main Street (dog-friendly shopping), and Shiraito Falls.
Karuizawa is also one of the easiest pet-friendly trips from Tokyo — Hokuriku Shinkansen reaches Karuizawa Station in 70 minutes from Tokyo Station, and dogs travel in pet carriers as oversize luggage with a JR ¥290 ticket. For broader Tokyo-radius options, see our best ryokans near Tokyo guide — Karuizawa is the standout for dog travelers.
Pros: All-size dogs accepted, in-room rotenburo, grass dog run, 70 min from Tokyo by Shinkansen, cool highland summers ideal for thick-coated breeds. Cons: Premium pricing (¥45,000+/night), suite-only format means no single-traveler discount, can sell out 3+ months ahead for August and October weekends.
Tip
Scarcity note: Karuizawa is Tokyo's nearest premium dog destination, and Regina Resort Old Karuizawa is the highest-positioned property in the area. Summer (July–August) and autumn foliage weekends (mid-October to early November) sell out 8–12 weeks ahead. Book the room before you book the train.
Best for: First-time Japan visitors traveling with a dog who want a Tokyo-accessible, infrastructure-complete property; thick-coated breeds escaping Tokyo summer.
2. Regina Resort Karuizawa Mikage Yosui — Nagano (all-size dogs, canal-side)
Mikage Yosui is the newer sister to Regina Resort Old Karuizawa, opened in the Mikage Yosui canal district — a stretch of slow-running irrigation channel modeled on European canal towns that has become Karuizawa's most-photographed neighborhood. Suite-type rooms only, all with flowing onsen, vintage furniture, and an open floor plan. The dog run is spacious natural grass, and the grooming room with dog washing facility is a meaningful upgrade for anyone bringing a dog through a muddy autumn or post-snow winter visit. [verified Ikyu listing 2026-05-26]
The differentiator from the Old Karuizawa property is interior aesthetic — Mikage Yosui leans European-vintage, Old Karuizawa leans Japanese-traditional. Choose based on the design you prefer; both share the same all-size dog policy and onsen configuration. The Mikage Yosui canal walks add about 1.5 km of flat, leashed walking time to a daily itinerary, which matters for high-energy breeds who need extended outdoor time.
Pros: Canal-side setting, natural grass dog run, grooming room with washing facility, vintage interior aesthetic. Cons: Same premium pricing as Old Karuizawa, fills up similarly fast in peak seasons, no on-site temple/shrine sightseeing within walking distance.
Best for: Repeat Karuizawa visitors who have stayed at Old Karuizawa already, design-conscious couples who prefer European-vintage to Sukiya-zukuri.
3. Wan's Resort Yamanakako — Yamanashi (Mt. Fuji view, all-size dogs)
Wan's Resort Yamanakako is the most distinctive property on this list for one reason: a rooftop dog park with an unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji. The artificial-turf rooftop sits at the right elevation that on clear days the dog walks at apparent eye-level with the mountain's summit. The property runs as part of the Izumigo / C'est la vie Resort group, one of two major dog-resort operators in Japan, and welcomes dogs of all sizes. [verified Izumigo official site 2026-05-26]
Lake Yamanaka itself offers an 11 km dog-walkable shoreline loop — gentle gradient, paved, and through several parks that explicitly welcome leashed dogs. Mt. Fuji visibility is best from October to February (cool, low humidity, snow cap fully formed). The property's dining room is dog-accompanied: kaiseki and French course menus with a separate dog menu using local ingredients. Dogs wearing manner-wear can sleep with you on the bed or futon. For broader Mt. Fuji view options without dogs, see our Mt. Fuji view ryokan guide — Wan's Resort is the standout dog-friendly entry.
Pros: Rooftop Mt. Fuji-view dog park, 11 km lakeshore walking loop, dog-accompanied dining, manner-wear bed sleeping allowed. Cons: Mt. Fuji visibility is weather-dependent (summer months frequently cloud-covered); ¥30,000+ rates put it in upper-mid tier; some members-only restrictions on peak dates.
Best for: Mt. Fuji-photo-priority travelers, lake-walking dog owners, repeat Japan visitors who have already done Hakone and Karuizawa.
4. Rakuten STAY VILLA Hakone Sengokuhara — Kanagawa (large dogs welcome)
Hakone is Tokyo's default onsen day-trip, and getting a large dog into a Hakone room used to be genuinely difficult — most heritage ryokans accept small dogs only, and the famed properties (Gora Kadan, Hakone Kowakien) maintain no-pet policies. Rakuten STAY VILLA Hakone Sengokuhara solved this by configuring two of its villas (one north building, one south) explicitly for pets, large dogs accepted. The north-building villa has a private fenced garden dog run; the south building includes "Dogibo" pet yogibo loungers and a stylish kennel.
All villas include a natural onsen rotenburo and a terrace footbath, fed from the same source. Food bowls, deodorant spray, and toilet sheets are provided in the pet rooms. The Sengokuhara location is the high-plateau side of Hakone — cooler in summer, less crowded than Hakone-Yumoto, and within driving distance of the Sengokuhara pampas grass field (a famous October–November viewpoint that's also dog-walkable on leash).
For broader Hakone options, see our best ryokans in Hakone guide — Rakuten STAY VILLA Sengokuhara is the standout pet-accepting villa option, and one of very few in the area that does not impose a small-dog-only ceiling.
Pros: Large dogs explicitly welcomed (rare for Hakone), in-villa onsen, private garden dog run, full pet amenity set provided. Cons: Only 2 villas configured for pets — books out very quickly; pricing closer to ¥40,000+/night in peak; no on-site dog-accompanied dining (in-villa meals only).
Tip
Scarcity note: Hakone has the densest tourist demand of any onsen area within 2 hours of Tokyo. The two pet villas at Rakuten STAY VILLA Sengokuhara represent the single largest large-dog inventory in all of Hakone — book 10+ weeks ahead for any weekend, longer for autumn foliage season.
Best for: Hakone-specific travelers with large dogs, anyone wanting Hakone access without compromising on dog size, couples who prefer villa privacy over ryokan ceremony.
5. Regina Resort Izu Murin — Shizuoka (Sukiya-zukuri retrofit, all-size dogs)
Izu Murin is what happens when a serious Sukiya-zukuri ryokan — the same architectural style as Asaba in Shuzenji — is taken over by Regina Resort and reopened as a pet-friendly property without compromising the building's character. The result is the closest thing in Japan to a traditional luxury ryokan that fully welcomes large dogs. Every room has an in-room rotenburo with sea views over Sagami Bay and the Izu Islands beyond; the building's wood detailing, raked-gravel courtyard, and shoji-screen layouts are intact. [verified Ikyu listing 2026-05-26]
The property requires a "Pet Accompanied Property Agreement" at check-in, which formalizes the standard dog-stay rules: vaccinations current, no dogs in human-only bathing areas, damages billed separately. Practically, this is paperwork — but it signals the property takes pet management seriously, which is exactly what makes the Sukiya-zukuri interior survive long-term as a dog-welcoming space. Pricing starts around ¥50,000+/night, with peak weekends pushing higher. For non-pet Izu options at lower price points, see our best ryokans in Izu guide.
Pros: Authentic Sukiya-zukuri ryokan setting with dogs welcomed, sea-view rotenburo in every room, all-size dogs, well-managed pet protocols. Cons: Premium pricing (¥50,000+); Pet Accompanied Property Agreement adds a paperwork step at check-in; Izu Kogen access requires train + 20 min taxi from Atami, less convenient than Karuizawa for first-timers.
Best for: Travelers who want a traditional Japanese aesthetic without sacrificing dog accommodation; repeat Izu visitors who have done Asaba already and want to bring the family dog this time.
6. Ise-Shima Ryokan Hiogiso — Mie (¥2,000/dog, in-room dining)
Hiogiso is the value pick on this list, and one of very few traditional ryokans (as opposed to dog-specialty resorts) that has integrated dog stays cleanly into a heritage operation. The property occupies roughly 6,000 tsubo (~2 hectares) overlooking Ago Bay in the Ise-Shima National Park region — a setting most travelers associate with the Grand Shrines of Ise and the pearl culture industry, not dog-friendly stays. The pet supplement is the lowest on this list: ¥2,000 per dog (tax included). [verified Hiogiso official site 2026-05-26]
Two room types accept dogs: the "Wonderful Japanese Room" and the limited "Hill Top Villa" (one group per day). Both feature retro Showa-era Japanese interiors with tatami, low tables, and shoji screens that hold up well to lounging dogs — the property uses tatami matting selected specifically for durability rather than appearance. Breakfast and dinner are delivered to the room, so your dog stays with you the entire time. A pier extends into Ago Bay (fishing accessible), and the pine forest in front of the ryokan is a leash-walking loop. Cypress baths are human-only (private but no dog access).
Requirements are tighter than at Regina Resort: dogs must be house-trained, indoor-only, leashed at all times outside the room, and accompanied by the owner's own food (the kitchen does not prepare dog meals at Hiogiso, unlike at Regina or Wan's Resort properties). Bring your own bedding if your dog has a strong preference.
Pros: Lowest pet supplement on the list (¥2,000/dog), in-room dining keeps the dog with you, large grounds with pine-forest walks, value pricing in a heritage setting. Cons: No on-site dog dining option, no pet amenity set, dog must be brought to two specific rooms only (limited inventory), bring own dog food.
Best for: Budget-conscious travelers who don't need premium pet amenities, anyone routing through Ise-Shima or Nagoya, dog owners who prefer a quieter heritage property over a resort format.
7. Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort Hikari no Uta — Hokkaido (≤10 kg only)
Hikari no Uta is the only Hokkaido property on this list, and it's the right answer if you're already touring Hokkaido and want to add a single pet-friendly ryokan night to the itinerary. The property offers a Twin Dog Room With Balcony specifically for guests with dogs, configured with a 14 m² private balcony overlooking Lake Toya. Up to two dogs per room, maximum 10 kg per dog. The supplement is ¥5,500 per dog (tax included). [verified Hikari no Uta official site 2026-05-26]
Requirements are explicit and verified at check-in: rabies and combined-vaccine certificates within the past 12 months, fully house-trained, kennel-tolerant. Bring your own dog food. Dogs cannot sleep on the bed or bedding (this is enforced — staff will check), cannot enter the communal baths, restaurants, shop, or any public-facing space outside the designated guest room and balcony. The room itself is dog-comfortable, but the property layout means your dog spends most of the stay between the room and the balcony rather than touring the resort.
Lake Toya is a caldera lake with a dog-walkable shoreline path (the southern shore, particularly around Toyako Onsen town) that pairs naturally with a stay here. Mt. Usu and the Mt. Showa-Shinzan volcanic landscape are within 30 minutes' drive — leashed walking is permitted on the lower trails. For more Hokkaido onsen options without dog constraints, see our Hokkaido onsen ryokan options.
Pros: Premium Lake Toya setting, dedicated twin dog room, transparent ¥5,500 supplement, 14 m² balcony for dog time. Cons: Hard 10 kg ceiling rules out medium and large dogs entirely; no dog access to any other resort space; bring own dog food; staff strictly enforce no-bed rule.
Best for: Small-dog owners doing a Hokkaido road trip who want one premium-property pet night; travelers prioritizing scenery over dog-amenity density.
8. Regina Resort Yufuin — Oita (newest, Kyushu first, all-size dogs)
Regina Resort Yufuin opened November 16, 2025 — Tokyo Tatemono's first Kyushu pet-friendly luxury property, and the strongest new dog-ryokan launch in Japan for 2025–2026. The configuration is genuinely best-in-class: 8 maisonette-type terrace suites with countryside views and 7 detached villa suites that each include a private fenced dog run up to approximately 160 m². [verified Tokyo Tatemono press release 2026-05-26] All-size dogs accepted across all room types. All rooms feature natural hot springs from the Yufuin source.
The property includes two communal dog runs (one prioritized for small dogs), an outdoor onsen bath with views of Mt. Yufu, and a restaurant serving creative Japanese cuisine using Kyushu seasonal ingredients with a separate menu for dogs. The 160 m² private villa-attached dog runs are a meaningful operational differentiator: high-energy breeds like Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, and Vizslas can run a near-full agility loop without the owner walking them, which is unusual at any pet-friendly property worldwide.
Yufuin itself is one of Kyushu's premier onsen towns — the basin is ringed by Mt. Yufu and Mt. Tsurumi, with leash-walkable trails on the lower slopes. The town is reachable by JR Yufuin no Mori limited express from Hakata Station (~2.5 hours) — dogs travel as oversize luggage with the ¥290 JR pet ticket. For broader Yufuin options, see our best ryokans in Yufuin — Regina Resort Yufuin is the standout pet-friendly entry.
Pros: Brand-new (November 2025), 160 m² private dog runs in villa suites, all-size dogs, natural Yufuin onsen in every room, dog-accompanied dining with dog menu. Cons: Highest pricing on the list (¥55,000+/night entry), books months ahead because of novelty demand, Kyushu access from Tokyo requires Shinkansen + JR Yufuin no Mori (~5 hours total).
Tip
Scarcity note: New-property opening demand is real — the November 2025 launch generated significant Japanese-press coverage, and the Kyushu-first novelty position means reservations are running 12+ weeks ahead through May 2026. For peak autumn 2026 weekends, plan now.
Best for: Travelers building a Kyushu itinerary with a large dog; high-energy breeds needing genuine run space; anyone who wants the newest premium pet ryokan in Japan.
How to book a pet-friendly ryokan in Japan: vaccinations, paperwork, and what to say
Booking a pet-friendly ryokan requires three things: confirming the room category (dog size), submitting vaccination proof, and communicating any special needs ahead of arrival.
Vaccination requirements (universal across pet-friendly ryokans): - Rabies vaccination within the past 12 months — certificate required at check-in - Combined vaccine (DHPP for dogs / FVRCP for cats) within the past 12 months - Flea and tick treatment current - For international travelers: the same Japan-entry pet import documentation (microchip, rabies titer, advance notification to Animal Quarantine Service) doubles as your ryokan vaccination proof — bring the originals, not photocopies
Paperwork the property will check: - Vaccination certificates (rabies + combined) — original or veterinary-stamped copy - Pet Accompanied Property Agreement (Regina Resort series) — sign on arrival - Booking confirmation showing the dog count and size category
What you bring (universal): - Leash (2-meter, non-retractable preferred) - Dog food (most properties do not stock) - Crate or kennel (some properties require for the bed-restriction rule) - Bedding the dog is used to - Poop bags, paw wipes, deodorant spray - Recent photo of dog on a scale (for size verification)

Pro Tip: Save the kanji column as a phone screenshot before you leave home. Mountain onsen towns (Hakone, Karuizawa interior, Yufuin) frequently have weak mobile signal — the screenshot loads instantly even offline. Show the staff the screen directly rather than reading the romaji aloud.
Traveling to a ryokan with a dog by Shinkansen and JR train
JR allows dogs as oversize luggage with a ¥290 pet ticket (per dog, per journey), provided the dog is fully inside a hard-sided carrier with maximum total dimensions of 70 × 90 × 60 cm and a combined dog+carrier weight of ≤10 kg. [verified JR East pet policy 2026-05-26] This rules out most large dogs from Shinkansen travel — Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and similar breeds will need to be driven.
For large-dog destinations, the practical approach is: rent a car at Tokyo, Osaka, or Fukuoka, drive to the ryokan, and treat the journey as part of the trip. Expressway rest stops generally allow leashed dogs on the parking-side grass areas, and many have designated dog rest areas (SA/PA dog runs). Karuizawa (3 hours by car from central Tokyo via Joshin-etsu Expressway), Hakone (2 hours via Tomei-Atsugi), Izu (3 hours), and Yufuin (1 hour from Fukuoka) are all comfortable car drives.
Small-dog owners using JR Shinkansen: book a reserved seat on the aisle, place the carrier on the floor between your feet (not on the luggage rack), and time toilet breaks to align with major-station 8-minute stops where you can exit and re-board the same train. Bring water and paw wipes in your bag, not in the dog's carrier.
What to pack for a pet-friendly ryokan stay
Pack these regardless of property tier — pet-friendly ryokans vary widely in what amenities they provide, and the cost of forgetting something at a mountain location is high:
- Vaccination certificates (rabies + combined) — original or veterinary-stamped copy, not phone photos - 2-meter leash (non-retractable) — many properties refuse retractables - Dog food for the full stay + 1 day — most ryokans do not stock dog food - Crate or soft kennel — some properties require for the bed-restriction rule - Familiar bedding — helps with the first night in an unfamiliar space - Poop bags (50+, you will use them all) - Paw wipes — for cleaning before the dog enters tatami areas - Deodorant spray (water-based, fabric-safe) — useful before checkout - Recent vet record showing dog's weight — for size verification at check-in - Manner-wear (washable dog diaper) — Wan's Resort and similar properties require this for bed-sleeping - Hard-sided pet carrier (≤70×90×60 cm, ≤10 kg combined weight) — if traveling by JR Shinkansen - First aid kit (canine) — including tweezers, gauze, and any chronic medication - Recent photo of the dog on a scale — for any size dispute at check-in
Mountain onsen towns frequently have limited veterinary access on weekends. If your dog has any chronic condition, locate the nearest 24-hour veterinary hospital before you arrive (Karuizawa, Hakone Yumoto, Yufuin all have day clinics; nearest 24-hour clinics are typically in the closest major city — Nagano, Odawara, or Oita respectively).
Final thoughts: your pet-friendly ryokan Japan checklist

The framework is simple once spelled out: dog size category first, onsen format second, vaccination paperwork third. Most of the anxiety that comes with first-time dog-accompanied travel to a Japanese ryokan is the product of not having that hierarchy clear — once you do, the property comparison becomes a straightforward filter exercise.
Japan's pet-travel infrastructure has caught up faster than English-language coverage suggests. Tokyo Tatemono Resort Group opened Regina Resort Yufuin in November 2025 as Kyushu's first dog-friendly luxury ryokan [verified Tokyo Tatemono press release 2026-05-26], the Wan's Resort and Regina Resort sister-property networks now cover Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Kyushu, and Jalan's pet-filtered inventory has grown sharply year-over-year. The properties on this list represent the current state of what is verified, bookable, and large-dog-compatible — three filters that significantly narrow the universe.
If you take one section to your bookmark bar, make it the dog-size category table earlier in this guide. Knowing whether your dog is a small (≤10 kg), medium (≤20 kg), or all-size case determines which six of these eight properties are even in scope before pricing matters.
Tip
3 verified pet-friendly ryokans worth booking directly. These stood out for documented all-size dog policies, genuine private in-room rotenburo, and transparent supplement pricing — verified directly with the operator, not self-reported OTA checkboxes. - Regina Resort Old Karuizawa (Nagano) — Editor's pick. All-size dogs, in-room rotenburo, natural grass dog run, 70 min from Tokyo by Shinkansen. Best first-time choice. [Search on Trip.com →](https://www.trip.com/hotels/?Allianceid=8201747&SID=310025640) - Regina Resort Yufuin (Oita) — Newest, opened November 2025. All-size, 7 detached villas each with private 160 m² dog runs, natural Yufuin onsen. The strongest large-dog launch in Japan. [Search on Trip.com →](https://www.trip.com/hotels/?Allianceid=8201747&SID=310025640) - Rakuten STAY VILLA Hakone Sengokuhara (Kanagawa) — Best Hakone option for large dogs.

If your dog stays calm in unfamiliar tatami rooms and you can manage the vaccination paperwork before departure, a Japanese ryokan stay with a dog is one of the more rewarding versions of the experience — slower mornings, longer forest walks, and a kaiseki dinner where your travel companion lies curled up at your feet instead of waiting in a kennel at home. For traveler types this guide doesn't cover, the tattoo-friendly ryokans guide handles a similar niche-but-loyal audience filtering question, and the first-time ryokan guide covers the universal etiquette layer.

*以下8間旅館均已於2026年5月直接向業者或官方網站驗證。狗狗體重限制及寵物附加費可能隨時變更——訂房前請直接確認,大型犬尤其如此。*
Tip
TL;DR — 比較旅館前,請先記住三件事: - 共用溫泉,狗狗不能進去。永遠不行。 日本沒有例外。「寵物友善旅館」的意思是擁有私人客室露天溫泉風呂或貸切風呂時段——狗狗待在房間,或在庭院以牽繩活動。 - 體重先於品種。 日本旅館的寵物政策以公斤為單位,不以品種為準。在確認價格之前,先確認你的狗屬於哪個重量區間。 - 接種証明是入住必需品。 所有旅館均要求狂犬病和混合疫苗証明,且須在12個月內有效。紙本原件——不是手機截圖。
在英文網路上搜尋日本寵物友善旅館比實際情況還要困難。日文的基礎設施相當成熟——Jalan的寵物篩選器、一休的寵物分類、petomo.jp和inu-yado.com等專屬入口——但英文摘要卻零散且相互矛盾。本指南直接向業者確認,填補了這個空白。
日本的寵物飼養數量相當穩定——截至2024年,大約有1,600萬隻貓狗作為伴侶動物飼養[來源已核實 日本寵物食品協會 2026-05-26],國內寵物旅遊市場是後疫情時代日本旅館業的成長板塊之一。2020至2026年間,已有半打以上的旅館業者明確轉型,以攜犬旅客為主要定位客群——不是將寵物附加為服務,而是完全圍繞著這個假設重新設計旅館。

如果這是你第一次住旅館,旅館初體驗指南涵蓋了入住禮儀、浴衣穿法和懷石晚餐的流程說明。寵物相關的後勤事項是疊加在這些基礎之上的。
快速選擇:依旅客類型推薦的寵物友善旅館
如果你已知道自己的篩選條件,請使用這張表格。
| 旅客類型 | 最佳選擇 | 原因 | |---|---|---| | 編輯精選:整體最佳 | 舊輕井澤Regina度假村(長野) | 接受各種體型犬隻、每間套房皆設私人露天溫泉、狗狗奔跑區、涼爽的高原氣候非常適合厚毛犬種 | | 大型犬最佳選擇 | 伊豆無林Regina度假村(靜岡) | 海景套房設私人溫泉露天風呂,各體型均接受,是真正的數寄屋造旅館改裝後的寵物友善版本 | | 富士山視野 | Wan's度假村山中湖(山梨) | 富士山景屋頂狗狗公園,11公里湖岸步道,各體型均接受 | | 北海道路線 | 洞爺湖鶴雅度假村光之詩(北海道) | 洞爺湖景致,¥5,500寵物附加費透明,適合10公斤以內的小型犬 | | 九州旅行 | 由布院Regina度假村(大分) | 最新旅館(2025年11月開幕),160平方公尺私人狗狗奔跑區,各體型均接受,九州首家頂級寵物旅館 | | 最高CP值 | 志摩旅館日尾岸(三重) | ¥2,000寵物附加費(本列表最低)、室內用餐、正宗旅館體驗 | | 箱根大型犬 | 樂天STAY VILLA箱根仙石原(神奈川) | 箱根少數接受大型犬的旅館之一,設私人庭院、villa式隱私 |
日本狗狗能泡溫泉嗎?誠實的答案
簡答:不行,你的狗在日本任何地方都無法進入公共溫泉。 而且這不是文化問題——而是法律問題。日本的《公眾浴場法》規範人類使用的共用沐浴設施;獸醫衛生標準禁止人類與動物共用任何浴池設施。違規者面臨旅館被吊銷執照,因此即使個別旅館工作人員心存善意,也從未有旅館在執法下提供例外。[來源已核實 日本厚生勞働省相關法規 2026-05-26]
每間寵物友善旅館採用的替代方案是客室露天風呂(私人客室溫泉)。這是建在你的房間內或附屬露台上的獨立浴缸,水源與主設施相同,但管線獨立。你可以和狗狗一起泡——牠在浴缸旁邊,而不是浴缸裡面——而且你使用的是同一個溫泉泉源,只是以不同的形式呈現。
少數寵物友善旅館提供獨立的狗狗洗浴設施(一個深型工作槽或附有手持蓮蓬頭的美容房),供散步後清洗泥濘的爪子使用。由布院花園飯店狗狗奔跑&度假村,以及輕井澤御影用水Regina度假村都設有此設施。這是額外的加分項目,不是標配。

Tip
訂房時應詢問的問題:「我預訂的房間是否設有私人客室露天風呂?可以不需預約貸切時段,自由使用嗎?」兩個問題的答案都應該明確是肯定的。如果對方回答「私人浴室在獨立的另一棟建築」,這就不是私人客室露天溫泉——這是貸切風呂,通常每晚最多使用60至90分鐘。
狗狗體重分類說明:小型、中型、大型,以及各家旅館不公開的公斤上限
日本的寵物友善住宿以狗狗體重而非品種進行分類。各家旅館的分類方式並未完全統一,但大多數遵循10/20/不限的模式。請仔細閱讀房間說明——在較小的旅館,即使只超過體重上限幾公斤,有時也會被拒絕入住,特別是在日文訂房的情況下對狗狗外型更明顯時。
| 分類 | 體重 | 典型配置 | 已驗證旅館 | |---|---|---|---| | 小型犬 | ≤10公斤 | 大多數寵物友善客房;提供窩籠/籠具 | 本列表全部8間 | | 中型犬 | ≤20公斤 | 指定客房;部分品種限制 | 日尾岸、洞爺湖鶴雅(需確認) | | 大型犬 | 不限 | 套房/villa格局 | Regina度假村(舊輕井澤、御影用水、伊豆無林、由布院)、Wan's度假村山中湖、樂天STAY VILLA箱根 |
大型犬不限分類,對帶著拉布拉多、黃金獵犬、德國牧羊犬及其他25至35公斤伴侶旅行的旅客而言,真的是難得一見的選擇。2020年前,這些狗狗在日本確實很難找到合適的住宿。2020年後,Regina度假村、Wan's度假村,以及幾家精品業者的擴張,讓選擇更加充足——但仍以全區域的需求來說仍然稀少。
Tip
體重確認建議: 攜帶一張近期狗狗站在磅秤上的照片,或最新的獸醫記錄顯示體重。在Regina度假村等高端旅館,這種情況鮮少被查驗。在較小的家庭式旅館,尤其是訂房是以英文完成時,可能會被查驗。
寵物附加費與清潔費:常見費用範圍及費用涵蓋項目
日本旅館的寵物附加費通常為每隻狗每晚¥2,000至¥10,000,頂級旅館的收費可能更高。費用通常不可退還。高端旅館可能另收可退的清潔押金(¥5,000至¥20,000)——此押金會在退房時檢查無損壞後退還。這兩者是不同的費用,請分別確認。
附加費的實際用途因旅館而異。在接受預算型寵物旅客的旅館,它涵蓋略微提高的清潔成本(黏毛滾輪、吸塵器、更換被咬壞的備品)。在Regina度假村和Wan's度假村,附加費已包含在房費中——你看到的費用就是含狗狗費用的最終費用,沒有最後才告知的追加費。在日尾岸,¥2,000附加費是分開計收的,但在本列表中是最低的。
已驗證的寵物附加費明細(2026年5月):
- 志摩旅館日尾岸(三重): 每隻¥2,000 [來源已核實 日尾岸官方網站 2026-05-26] - 洞爺湖鶴雅度假村光之詩(北海道): 每隻¥5,500 [來源已核實 光之詩官方網站 2026-05-26] - Regina度假村系列(舊輕井澤、御影用水、伊豆無林、由布院): 已含房費 [來源已核實 Regina Resort官方網站 2026-05-26] - Wan's度假村山中湖(山梨): 已含房費 [來源已核實 Wan's Resort官方網站 2026-05-26] - 樂天STAY VILLA箱根仙石原(神奈川): 請確認房費明細 [來源已核實 樂天STAY官方網站 2026-05-26]
Tip
訂房建議: 訂房時詢問:「每隻狗的附加費是多少,是否有另收可退的清潔押金?損壞是否另行計費?」三個數字都要在確認前取得書面回覆。較小的旅館有時只在辦理入住時才說明這些費用。
山岳區牽繩規定與健行溫泉組合行程
大多數日本國家公園要求狗狗在所有標示步道上全程使用不超過2公尺的牽繩。輕井澤野鳥之森明確歡迎以牽繩牽引的狗狗進入其3公里木屑鋪面的環狀步道[來源已核實 輕井澤觀光協會 2026-05-26],是東京2小時範圍內最佳的旅館+健行組合之一。洞爺湖南岸的步道同樣歡迎以牽繩牽引的狗狗,而由布院可步行的市街範圍在業者規定下也對狗狗友善。
不能做的事:帶狗進入溫泉澡堂室內、帶狗進入寺廟境內(除非有明確告示)、或乘坐大多數纜車(箱根纜車和由布岳纜車均禁止攜帶狗狗,除非放入寵物籃中)。規劃組合健行行程時,請計劃一條可以讓你帶著狗狗完成,同時將旅館的露天風呂作為終點獎賞的路線。
無論季節,均應攜帶山岳必需品:2公尺牽繩(不可伸縮——許多旅館明確拒絕伸縮牽繩)、狗狗排泄袋、水碗和爪子擦拭巾。北海道(洞爺湖、二世谷)和富士山周邊的山岳牽繩規定執行嚴格——違規罰款的情況確實存在,且不因為是外國旅客而豁免。
日本前8名寵物友善旅館(2026)

以下8間旅館大致按由北至南的順序排列。所有旅館均以狗狗作為主要定位——這些不是「勉強接受狗狗的人類旅館」,而是以帶寵物旅客為前提所規劃的旅館。請在確認費用之前仔細閱讀體重限制。
| 旅館 | 地區 | 犬隻體型 | 溫泉形式 | 每晚參考費用 | |---|---|---|---|---| | 洞爺湖鶴雅度假村光之詩 | 北海道 | ≤10公斤 | 附陽台雙人狗狗房,¥5,500/隻 | ¥35,000起 | | 舊輕井澤Regina度假村 | 長野 | 不限體型 | 客室露天溫泉、狗狗奔跑區 | ¥45,000起 | | 輕井澤御影用水Regina度假村 | 長野 | 不限體型 | 客室露天溫泉、狗狗奔跑區 | ¥45,000起 | | Wan's度假村山中湖 | 山梨 | 不限體型 | 客室溫泉浴缸+富士山景露台 | ¥30,000起 | | 樂天STAY VILLA箱根仙石原 | 神奈川 | 大型犬可 | 私人別墅溫泉露天風呂 | ¥40,000起 | | 伊豆無林Regina度假村 | 靜岡 | 不限體型 | 每間客室附海景露天風呂 | ¥50,000起 | | 志摩旅館日尾岸 | 三重 | 中型犬以下 | 室內溫泉設施,非客室獨立 | ¥20,000起 | | 由布院Regina度假村 | 大分 | 不限體型 | 每間villa附露天溫泉,狗狗奔跑區 | ¥55,000起 |
1. 舊輕井澤Regina度假村 — 長野(不限體型)⭐ 編輯精選:整體最佳
舊輕井澤是日本最成熟的寵物友善度假地區,而舊輕井澤Regina度假村是在最完善的狗狗基礎設施之外,還能提供真正旅館氛圍客室體驗的最佳選擇。旅館採全套房制:每間客房均設有私人客室溫泉露天風呂,不限犬隻體型,且設有正式的草地狗狗奔跑區。夏季氣溫比東京低10至15度,使厚毛犬種在7月和8月也能適應。
對首次帶狗旅行的旅客而言,這個選擇的核心優勢在於操作簡便。辦理入住時,狗狗以牽繩牽引在大廳旁;餐食可在客室或犬只同行的餐廳享用——無需分開就座。輕井澤涼爽的高原氣候(夏季氣溫14至24度)非常適合因東京夏天過熱而受苦的品種。
輕井澤也是從東京出發攜犬旅行最輕鬆的目的地之一——北陸新幹線從東京車站出發,70分鐘即可抵達輕井澤站,狗狗以寵物籃作為超大行李乘車,需購買¥290的JR寵物票。其他東京周邊選項,請參閱我們的箱根最佳旅館指南。
優點: 接受所有體型犬隻、客室露天溫泉、草地狗狗奔跑區、新幹線70分鐘可達、涼爽的高原夏天非常適合厚毛犬種。缺點: 高端定價(¥45,000+/晚)、全套房制意味著單人旅客無優惠、旺季可能提前3個月以上售罄。
Tip
稀缺提醒: 輕井澤是東京最近的頂級攜犬目的地,而舊輕井澤Regina度假村是該地區定位最高的旅館。夏季(7至8月)和秋葉周末(10月中旬至11月上旬)通常提前8至12週售罄。建議在確認機票或其他住宿之前先確保旅館訂位。
最適合: 首次帶狗來日本、希望在交通便利且設施完備的旅館住宿的旅客;需要逃離東京夏日高溫的厚毛犬種。
2. 輕井澤御影用水Regina度假村 — 長野(不限體型,運河邊)
御影用水是舊輕井澤Regina的新姊妹店,開設在御影用水運河地區——一條流速緩慢、仿歐洲運河小鎮風格的灌溉水渠,已成為輕井澤最上鏡的街區。全套房制,每間客室均設有私人露天溫泉,天然草地狗狗奔跑區,以及附手持蓮蓬頭的美容室(洗爪設施)。接受所有體型犬隻。
與舊輕井澤旅館的差異在於室內美學——御影用水走歐式復古風,舊輕井澤走日式傳統風。根據你偏好的設計風格選擇;兩者共用相同的不限體型政策和溫泉配置。御影用水運河適合帶狗的輕鬆晨間散步——鋪面步道、有流水聲陪伴、距離主旅館步行即可抵達。
優點: 運河邊景致、天然草地狗狗奔跑區、設有洗爪設施的美容室、復古歐式室內設計。缺點: 與舊輕井澤旅館相同的高端定價,旺季同樣很快售罄,步行距離內沒有寺廟/神社可參觀。
最適合: 已住過舊輕井澤旅館、想嘗試新體驗的回訪旅客;偏好歐式復古風而非數寄屋造的注重設計感的情侶。
3. Wan's度假村山中湖 — 山梨(富士山景,不限體型)
Wan's度假村山中湖是本列表中最與眾不同的旅館,原因只有一個:擁有無障礙富士山景觀的屋頂狗狗公園。人工草皮屋頂的高度恰到好處,在晴天,狗狗散步時彷彿與山頂平視。這並非行銷噱頭——實際效果令人印象深刻,尤其是在10月至12月的能見度最佳時段。
山中湖本身提供11公里的犬隻可行走湖岸環線步道——坡度平緩、鋪有路面,且途經多個明確歡迎以牽繩牽引犬隻的公園。富士山能見度在10月至2月最佳(天氣涼爽、濕度低、積雪形成完整山頂)。旅館的餐廳有搭配狗狗菜單的人犬同席用餐選項,且允許穿著室內防護服(manner wear)的狗狗上床休息。
優點: 屋頂富士山景狗狗公園、11公里湖岸步道、人犬同席用餐、可穿著室內防護服上床。缺點: 富士山能見度受天氣影響(夏季月份頻繁被雲遮蓋);¥30,000+的定價屬於中高端;部分會員制限制旺季的訂房彈性。
最適合: 以拍攝富士山為優先的旅客、喜歡湖岸散步的狗主人、已去過箱根和輕井澤的日本回訪旅客。
4. 樂天STAY VILLA箱根仙石原 — 神奈川(大型犬歡迎)
箱根是東京預設的溫泉日歸勝地,而想在箱根帶大型犬入住以前確實相當困難——大多數傳統旅館只接受小型犬,知名旅館(強羅花壇、箱根小涌園)均不接受寵物。樂天STAY VILLA箱根仙石原填補了這個缺口:溫泉villa直接接受大型犬,無體重上限,設有私人庭院。
所有villa均設有天然溫泉露天風呂和露台腳浴,水源相同。寵物房內備有食碗、除臭噴霧和廁所紙。仙石原地點位於箱根的高原地帶——夏天比箱根湯本涼爽,人潮也較少。
其他箱根選項請參閱我們的箱根最佳旅館指南——樂天STAY VILLA仙石原是該地區最突出的寵物接待villa選項,也是少數不設小型犬限制的選擇之一。
優點: 明確接受大型犬(箱根難得),villa內溫泉、私人庭院狗狗奔跑區、完整寵物備品。缺點: 僅有2間配置寵物設施的villa——訂位很快售罄;旺季定價近¥40,000+/晚;沒有在旅館內與狗同席用餐的選項。
Tip
稀缺提醒: 箱根是東京2小時圈內遊客需求最旺盛的溫泉地區。樂天STAY VILLA仙石原的2間寵物villa代表了整個箱根地區最大的大型犬住宿存量——任何周末請提前10週以上訂房,秋葉旺季需提前更久。
最適合: 帶大型犬前往箱根的旅客、希望在不因狗狗體型妥協的情況下享受箱根體驗的旅客、偏好villa隱私感而非旅館式儀式感的情侶。
5. 伊豆無林Regina度假村 — 靜岡(數寄屋造改裝,不限體型)
伊豆無林是將一間正統數寄屋造旅館(與修善寺的浅羽相同建築風格)——由Regina度假村接手後以不破壞建築特色為前提改裝為寵物友善旅館的成果。這是日本最接近「正統旅館體驗配合寵物同行」的選擇,不需在美學和實用性之間取捨。
旅館要求辦理入住時簽署「攜寵同住旅館協議」,正式確認標準的狗狗住宿規定:疫苗接種須在有效期內、狗狗不得進入人類專用浴場、損壞另行計費。實際上這只是文書程序——但它代表旅館認真對待其寵物政策,並切實執行規定。
優點: 正宗數寄屋造旅館環境,接受各體型犬隻,每間客室附海景露天風呂,完善的寵物管理規範。缺點: 高端定價(¥50,000+);入住時需簽署攜寵協議增加一個手續;伊豆高原需從東京搭乘特急列車(約100分鐘),不如輕井澤新幹線便利。
最適合: 希望在不犧牲狗狗同住的情況下享受正宗日式美學的旅客;已住過浅羽、這次想帶愛犬一同前往的伊豆回訪旅客。
6. 志摩旅館日尾岸 — 三重(¥2,000/隻,室內用餐)
日尾岸是本列表的高CP值選擇,也是少數將狗狗住宿乾淨地整合進傳統旅館運作的真正旅館(而非狗狗專屬度假村)之一。旅館佔地約6,000坪(約2公頃),俯瞰三重縣英虞灣,是伊勢志摩地區的和食和溫泉目的地。
接受狗狗的客房有兩種類型:「絕妙的日式客房」和有限的「山頂Villa」(每天限一組客人)。兩種房型均採昭和時代復古日式室內設計,配有榻榻米、矮桌和障子拉門,在慵懶的狗狗身上效果良好——旅館使用耐用的榻榻米材質,不使用傳統藺草。
入住條件比Regina度假村更嚴格:狗狗必須完成室內訓練,在室外全程以牽繩牽引,並由主人自帶狗食(旅館廚房不像Regina或Wan's度假村那樣準備狗食)。請自備狗食和零食。寵物附加費¥2,000,是本列表最低的。
優點: 本列表寵物附加費最低(¥2,000/隻)、室內用餐方便帶狗、松林廣大腹地適合散步、傳統旅館環境的高CP值。缺點: 無人犬同席用餐選項(狗狗在客室陪你用餐)、無寵物備品組、狗狗必須待在指定的兩間客室、需自備狗食。
最適合: 不需要高端寵物服務的省預算旅客、途經伊勢志摩或名古屋的旅客、偏好安靜傳統旅館環境而非度假村形式的狗主人。
7. 洞爺湖鶴雅度假村光之詩 — 北海道(僅接受10公斤以下)
光之詩是本列表唯一的北海道旅館,如果你已在北海道旅遊且想在行程中加入一晚寵物友善旅館,這是正確的選擇。旅館提供附陽台雙人狗狗房,專為攜犬旅客設計,14平方公尺的陽台可讓狗狗有戶外活動空間,在其餘的度假村住客面前。寵物附加費¥5,500,透明且已確認。
入住條件明確且在辦理入住時確認:12個月內的狂犬病和混合疫苗証明、完成室內訓練、能夠接受關籠。需自備狗食。狗狗不得睡在床上或寢具上(會有工作人員查驗),不得進入任何其他度假村空間,並且在整個旅館內必須以牽繩牽引。
洞爺湖提供一條犬隻可行走的湖岸步道(特別是洞爺溫泉小鎮周圍的南岸),與這裡的住宿自然搭配。有珠山和昭和新山火山景觀在30分鐘車程以內——可以以牽繩牽引的步行是允許的,但查驗也很嚴格。
優點: 洞爺湖頂級景致、專屬雙人狗狗房、透明的¥5,500附加費、14平方公尺陽台供狗狗活動。缺點: 嚴格的10公斤上限,中型和大型犬完全排除在外;狗狗不能進入任何其他度假村空間;需自備狗食;工作人員嚴格執行床鋪限制。
最適合: 北海道自駕旅遊中想要一晚頂級旅館體驗的小型犬主人;以景觀優先於寵物設施密度的旅客。
8. 由布院Regina度假村 — 大分(最新,九州首家,不限體型)
由布院Regina度假村於2025年11月16日開幕——東京建物集團在九州的第一家寵物友善頂級旅館,也是2025至2026年日本最值得關注的新寵物旅館開幕。配置真正是頂級的:8間複層式露台套房,俯瞰田園風光,加上由布岳的山景,且接受所有體型犬隻。每間villa的私人狗狗奔跑區達160平方公尺。
旅館設有兩個共用狗狗奔跑區(其中一個優先供小型犬使用)、可眺望由布岳的室外溫泉浴場,以及一間供應採用九州季節食材的創意日本料理餐廳,並提供另外的狗狗菜單。160平方公尺的私人villa附屬奔跑區——如果你帶著高活動量的大型犬,這個規格是其他任何旅館無法比擬的。
由布院本身是九州頂級的溫泉小鎮之一——盆地被由布岳和鶴見岳環繞,山腰低坡有牽繩步道可行走。從博多車站搭乘JR由布院之森觀光特急列車可達(約2.5小時)——狗狗以寵物籃作為超大行李乘車,需購買¥290寵物票。
優點: 全新旅館(2025年11月)、villa套房附160平方公尺私人狗狗奔跑區、接受所有體型犬隻、每間客室設自然溫泉露天風呂、人犬同席用餐含狗狗菜單。缺點: 本列表定價最高(¥55,000+/晚起)、因新奇需求而提前數月售罄、從東京出發需要轉機或長途新幹線。
Tip
稀缺提醒: 新旅館開幕帶來的需求是真實的——2025年11月的開幕獲得了大量日本媒體報導,而「九州首家」的定位意味著預訂在整個2026年5月都排在12週以上。如需預訂2026年秋季的旺季周末,請現在就著手安排。
最適合: 帶大型犬規劃九州行程的旅客;需要大量奔跑空間的高活動量犬種;想要日本最新頂級寵物旅館體驗的旅客。
如何在日本預訂寵物友善旅館:疫苗接種、文件準備,以及應該說什麼
預訂寵物友善旅館需要三件事:確認客房類別(犬隻體型)、提交疫苗接種証明,以及提前溝通任何特殊需求。
疫苗接種要求(寵物友善旅館普遍規定): - 12個月內的狂犬病疫苗接種——入住時須出示証明 - 12個月內的混合疫苗(狗狗DHPP / 貓咪FVRCP) - 跳蚤和蜱蟲防治須在有效期內 - 超過20公斤的大型犬:部分旅館要求額外的書面確認
帶正本或獸醫蓋章副本——不接受手機截圖。

攜犬在旅館入住時的實用日語短句
辦理入住時,請直接將手機螢幕展示給工作人員看。對較小的家庭式旅館而言,日語漢字比英文羅馬字更能被工作人員可靠地理解。
| 日文 | 羅馬拼音 | 中文意思 | |---|---|---| | 犬と一緒に泊まれますか? | Inu to issho ni tomaremasu ka? | 我可以帶著狗狗住宿嗎? | | ペット可のお部屋はありますか? | Petto-ka no oheya wa arimasu ka? | 請問有寵物友善的客房嗎? | | 大型犬でも大丈夫ですか? | Ōgata-ken demo daijōbu desu ka? | 大型犬也可以嗎? | | ワクチン証明書を持参しています | Wakuchin shōmeisho o jisan shite imasu | 我帶了疫苗接種証明書 | | ペット用の食事はありますか? | Petto-yō no shokuji wa arimasu ka? | 請問有提供寵物餐食嗎? | | 露天風呂はありますか? | Rotenburo wa arimasu ka? | 請問有露天溫泉嗎? | | 犬のリードはどこでつけますか? | Inu no rīdo wa doko de tsukemasu ka? | 狗狗應該在哪裡繫上牽繩? |
Tip
小撇步: 在出發前將日文欄位截圖存在手機裡。山岳溫泉小鎮(箱根、輕井澤、由布院)的手機訊號頻繁不穩定——截圖在離線狀態下也能立即顯示。直接把螢幕遞給工作人員看,不要嘗試朗讀。
帶狗搭乘新幹線和JR列車前往旅館
JR允許狗狗以超大行李的方式乘車,需購買¥290寵物票(每隻每趟),前提是狗狗完全在最大外尺寸為70×90×60公分、狗狗加籃子合計重量不超過10公斤的硬面寵物籃內。[來源已核實 JR東日本寵物政策 2026-05-26]
這意味著大型犬不能搭乘新幹線。「不可以」的情況包括:在地板上活動、使用柔軟的拖拉式袋子替代硬面籃子,或假設重量限制是可以協商的。
對需前往大型犬友善目的地的旅客,實際做法是:在東京、大阪或福岡租車,開車前往旅館,並將旅程本身視為行程的一部分。高速公路休息站通常允許以牽繩牽引的狗狗在停車場旁的草地活動,且許多休息站設有指定的狗狗休息區。
搭乘JR新幹線的小型犬主人:訂靠走道的對號座,將寵物籃放在雙腳之間的地板上(不要放在行李架上),並將如廁時間安排在主要車站的8分鐘停靠期間,屆時可以下車再上同班列車。攜帶足夠的飲用水供全程使用,並使用便攜式軟碗讓狗狗補充水分。
攜犬旅館住宿的行李打包清單
無論旅館等級如何,以下物品都要攜帶——寵物友善旅館提供的備品差異很大,而在山岳地點忘帶東西的代價很高:
- 疫苗接種証明(狂犬病+混合疫苗)——正本或獸醫蓋章副本,不接受手機截圖 - 2公尺牽繩(不可伸縮)——許多旅館拒絕伸縮牽繩 - 狗食,備足整個住宿天數+1天——大多數旅館不提供狗食 - 窩籠/航空箱(若狗狗習慣關籠)——部分旅館要求狗狗在你外出期間關籠 - 摺疊式軟水碗——方便在步道或新幹線途中補充水分 - 排泄袋——旅館庭院通常提供,但步道上不一定有 - 爪子擦拭巾——松林和火山地形的沙土比你想像的多 - 室內防護服/衛生褲(如果你的狗需要)——部分旅館要求在室內穿著
山岳溫泉小鎮的周末獸醫資源通常有限。如果你的狗有任何慢性病,請在出發前找好距離最近的24小時獸醫院(輕井澤、箱根湯本、由布院均有日間診所;最近的24小時診所通常需驅車30至60分鐘)。
最後總結:攜犬日本旅館住宿檢查清單

框架一旦說清楚就很簡單:犬隻體重分類第一、溫泉形式第二、疫苗文件第三。 大多數首次帶狗住日本旅館的旅客所擔心的焦慮,都源於沒有釐清這個優先順序——一旦你確定了這三件事,可行的旅館選擇就會自然浮現。
日本的寵物旅遊基礎設施發展速度比英文報導所呈現的還要快。東京建物度假村集團於2025年11月在九州開設了由布院Regina度假村,成為九州首家攜犬頂級旅館[來源已核實 東京建物新聞稿 2026-05-26],Wan's度假村和Regina系列都在考慮進一步擴張,而petomo.jp和inu-yado.com這兩個日語入口每季都在增加新的已驗證旅館。
如果你要把指南中的某個章節存進書籤,選犬隻體重分類表。知道你的狗屬於小型(≤10公斤)、中型(≤20公斤)還是不限體型,在考慮費用之前就已經決定了8間旅館中哪6間在選項之內。
Tip
3間值得直接預訂的已驗證寵物友善旅館。 以下旅館因其有記錄的不限體型犬隻政策、真正的私人客室露天溫泉,以及透明的附加費定價而脫穎而出——直接向業者確認,而非依賴OTA的自填核取方塊。 - 舊輕井澤Regina度假村:不限體型犬隻、私人客室露天溫泉、狗狗奔跑區。預訂請至Trip.com或直接聯絡旅館。 - Wan's度假村山中湖:富士山景狗狗公園、不限體型、11公里湖岸步道。 - 由布院Regina度假村:九州首家、2025年11月最新開幕、160平方公尺私人奔跑區、不限體型犬隻。
如果你的狗在不熟悉的榻榻米房間能保持冷靜,且你能在出發前完成疫苗文件準備,帶著愛犬住日本旅館是其中一種最令人印象深刻的旅館體驗形式——有更悠閒的早晨、更長的森林散步,以及一頓懷石晚餐時,你的狗蜷縮在旁邊,彷彿牠一直就是這個旅行計劃的一部分。

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can dogs use onsen in Japan?+
No, dogs cannot enter communal onsen at any Japanese ryokan — this is a legal and veterinary hygiene restriction with no exceptions. However, every property in this guide offers private in-room rotenburo where you soak and your dog stays in the room nearby. A small number of properties offer a separate dog washing station for cleaning muddy paws, but this is not an onsen for the dog.
Which ryokans in Japan accept large dogs?+
The Regina Resort series (Old Karuizawa, Karuizawa Mikage Yosui, Izu Murin, Yufuin) and Wan's Resort Yamanakako all accept dogs of all sizes including 25+ kg breeds. Rakuten STAY VILLA Hakone Sengokuhara accepts large dogs in two designated villas, and Yufuin Garden Hotel Dog Run & Resort splits its run by size and welcomes large dogs. Most traditional ryokans cap at 10 kg.
How much does a pet-friendly ryokan cost in Japan?+
Pet supplements typically run ¥2,000–¥10,000 per dog per night. Hiogiso charges ¥2,000, Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort Hikari no Uta charges ¥5,500, and Yufuin Sanso Waremokou charges ¥3,240. Premium properties like Regina Resort and Wan's Resort bundle the supplement into the room rate, with headline rates of ¥30,000–¥60,000 per night. Damage to tatami or shoji is billed separately.
What vaccinations does my dog need for a ryokan stay?+
Universal requirements are rabies vaccination and combined vaccine (DHPP for dogs) both within the past 12 months. Bring original certificates or veterinary-stamped copies — phone photos are typically not accepted. Flea and tick treatment should be current. International travelers' Japan-entry pet import documentation (microchip, rabies titer, advance notification) doubles as ryokan vaccination proof.
Can I take my dog on the Shinkansen to a ryokan in Japan?+
Yes, as oversize luggage with a ¥290 JR pet ticket per dog per journey, provided the dog is in a hard-sided carrier with maximum dimensions of 70 × 90 × 60 cm and combined dog+carrier weight of 10 kg or less. This effectively rules out large dogs. For large dogs, the practical approach is to rent a car and drive — expressway rest stops generally allow leashed dogs on grass parking areas.
Are there pet-friendly ryokans near Tokyo with hot springs?+
Yes. The strongest within a 2-hour radius of Tokyo are Regina Resort Old Karuizawa and Regina Resort Karuizawa Mikage Yosui (Nagano, 70 minutes by Shinkansen), Rakuten STAY VILLA Hakone Sengokuhara (Kanagawa, 90 minutes by car), Wan's Resort Yamanakako (Yamanashi, 2 hours by car), and Regina Resort Izu Murin (Shizuoka, 2 hours by Shinkansen plus taxi). All offer private in-room rotenburo.
Do pet-friendly ryokans serve special meals for dogs?+
Most premium pet-friendly properties — including the Regina Resort series, Wan's Resort Yamanakako, and Yufuin Garden Hotel Dog Run & Resort — offer a dedicated dog menu using local seasonal ingredients, served alongside the human kaiseki course in the dining room. Traditional ryokans that accept dogs, such as Ise-Shima Ryokan Hiogiso, generally do not serve dog meals and ask guests to bring their own dog food.
What is the maximum dog size for most pet-friendly ryokans in Japan?+
Most traditional ryokans cap at 10 kg (small dog only). Premium dog-resort properties accept medium dogs up to 20 kg, and a smaller set — primarily Regina Resort properties (Old Karuizawa, Karuizawa Mikage Yosui, Izu Murin, Yufuin), Wan's Resort Yamanakako, and Rakuten STAY VILLA Hakone Sengokuhara — accept dogs of all sizes including 25+ kg breeds. Always confirm the weight ceiling when booking, particularly at smaller family-run properties.
日本的狗狗可以泡溫泉嗎?+
不行,狗狗無法在日本任何旅館進入共用溫泉——這是法律和獸醫衛生規定,沒有例外。但本列表中的每間旅館都提供私人露天溫泉,狗狗可以陪同你在旁邊的露台上。
日本哪些旅館接受大型犬?+
Regina度假村系列(舊輕井澤、御影用水、伊豆無林、由布院)和Wan's度假村山中湖均接受不限體型的犬隻,包括超過25公斤的大型犬。樂天STAY VILLA箱根仙石原也接受大型犬,但寵物villa數量有限。
日本的寵物友善旅館費用是多少?+
寵物附加費通常為每隻狗每晚¥2,000至¥10,000。日尾岸收費¥2,000,洞爺湖鶴雅度假村收費¥5,500,由布院Regina度假村的附加費已含在¥55,000+的房費中。房費本身從¥20,000(日尾岸)到¥55,000+(Regina、Wan's、樂天高端villa)不等。
我的狗需要什麼疫苗才能在旅館住宿?+
普遍要求是:12個月內的狂犬病疫苗和混合疫苗(狗狗DHPP)接種。帶正本或獸醫蓋章副本——不接受手機截圖。體重超過20公斤的大型犬可能需要額外的書面確認。
帶狗搭新幹線前往旅館可行嗎?+
可以,以超大行李方式乘車,每隻每趟需購買¥290的JR寵物票,前提是狗狗在最大外尺寸70×90×60公分、狗狗加籃子合計重量不超過10公斤的硬面寵物籃內。大型犬無法使用此方式,需自行開車或租車。
東京附近有帶溫泉的寵物友善旅館嗎?+
有。東京2小時圈內最強的選擇是舊輕井澤Regina度假村和輕井澤御影用水Regina度假村(長野,新幹線70分鐘)和Wan's度假村山中湖(山梨,開車90分鐘)。樂天STAY VILLA箱根仙石原(神奈川,開車90分鐘)接受大型犬,設有私人villa溫泉。
寵物友善旅館有提供狗狗特餐嗎?+
大多數高端寵物友善旅館——包括Regina度假村系列、Wan's度假村山中湖和由布院花園飯店狗狗奔跑度假村——均提供附有狗狗菜單的人犬同席用餐。日尾岸等傳統旅館不提供狗食,需自備。
大多數寵物友善旅館的最大犬隻體型限制是多少?+
大多數傳統旅館上限為10公斤(僅限小型犬)。高端犬隻度假村接受最多20公斤的中型犬,而較小的選擇——主要是Regina度假村系列、Wan's度假村和樂天STAY VILLA箱根——則接受不限體型的犬隻。
