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

We stayed here for the first time just after New Year’s, and my spouse, our dog, and I were all very satisfied—so we came back again four months later. Everything was excellent: truly pet-first, wonderful staff hospitality, great meals, and relaxing baths. Modern stylish Accommodations are nice too, but we really love Kinugawa’s charming retro atmosphere… We’re already planning our third visit this year… We’ll be coming all the way from Izu (lol). See you then!

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days. First of all, all the staff were very pleasant and courteous.The Hotel exterior feels a bit dated, and the guest Room had a slight animal odor. However, it was only noticeable at first, and it’s within what you’d expect for a pet-friendly stay.It was a little disappointing that the large public bath for guests didn’t have a view.We chose in-Room dining. Everything was delicious. There was more than we could finish. The staff member who served the meal worked very carefully and attentively.This is a truly pet-first Hotel, with a dog run, an open-air bath, and a pool. Because of the typhoon we couldn’t use them as much as we wanted, but having a covered dog run was extremely helpful.On checkout day it was pouring rain. They kindly gave us towels saying, “The ground is wet—please use these to wipe your dog’s paws.”A Hotel where you can stay in the same Room with your pet is valuable in itself, but this place also showed thoughtful care for both people and pets. Thank you very much.
