Aomoriya by Hoshino Resorts Dog Friendly Review
Aomoriya by Hoshino Resorts holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and it earns that standing through a genuinely welcoming attitude towards travelling dogs rather than any grand gesture. This is a hotel that lets your dog join you in the bar and the lounge, which means your evenings do not have to be spent alone in the room while you socialise elsewhere. The presence of green spaces and parks nearby gives you somewhere pleasant to walk before or after checking in, and the fact that the hotel shares its pet policy before booking means there are no unpleasant surprises on arrival. For an owner who wants their dog included in the sociable parts of a stay rather than confined to a bedroom, this sets a promising tone from the outset.
Day to day, the practical provisions take a good deal of the hassle out of travelling with a dog. A dog bed, proper food and water bowls, and free treats are provided, so you need not haul your own kit halfway across the country, and poop bags are on hand for walks. The hotel also offers guidance on walking routes, useful if you do not know the area, and keeps an emergency vet number to hand should anything go wrong. There is a dog wash or shower area, handy after a muddy walk. Your dog may be left alone in the room, which frees you up for dinner or an excursion without a dog underfoot the whole time, and there is no damage deposit to worry about, only the flat 5,093 yen dog fee, which given the range of extras on offer feels reasonably fair.
The main catch is that only some rooms are dog friendly, so you will need to confirm availability rather than assume any room will do, and a weight limit of 44 lbs applies, ruling out larger breeds altogether. There is no restaurant access for dogs, no terrace or garden use, and no dedicated dog space, dog food for sale, walking or sitting services, grooming, toys, or staff specifically trained for canine guests, so this is not a hotel built around elaborate dog programming. There are no dog friendly events, awards or media coverage to speak of, and dogs do not stay free, nor are cats accommodated. This suits an owner with a smaller, easygoing dog under the weight limit who wants sociable spaces and solid basics without deposits or fuss, but owners of larger dogs or those wanting grooming, sitting services or restaurant access should look elsewhere.
