Hoshino Resorts RISONARE Yatsugatake Dog Friendly Review
Hoshino Resorts RISONARE Yatsugatake holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame because there is genuine warmth here for those travelling with a dog. Set with green spaces and parks nearby, it offers you and your dog somewhere to stretch your legs beyond the hotel grounds, and inside the building itself the welcome extends further than many resorts of this kind. Your dog is invited into the restaurant, the lounge and the terrace or patio, meaning your days need not be spent shuttling back and forth to a room while you eat or relax. There is no weight or size limit, so this is a place that genuinely opens its doors regardless of whether you travel with a small companion or a much larger one, and the hotel is upfront in sharing its pet policy with you before you book, so you know what you are walking into.
Once you arrive, the practicalities are handled with a reasonable amount of care. Your room comes with a dog bed and proper food and water bowls, so you are not left improvising with towels or travel bowls for the length of your stay. There is no damage deposit to worry about, which takes some of the anxiety out of settling into a new space with your dog, and you are permitted to leave your dog alone in the room, useful if you want to slip down to dinner without company. Up to two dogs per room are welcome, so those travelling with a pair need not book separate accommodation. The dog fee comes to 5,093 yen, and set against the bed, bowls and broad access you are given to communal spaces, it feels like a fair enough exchange rather than a token gesture.
The main catch is that only some rooms are dog friendly, not all, so you will need to check carefully at booking stage rather than assuming any room will do. There is no garden for your dog to use, no dedicated dog space, and no dog wash area, so muddy paws after a walk in the nearby green spaces will need managing yourself. There are no poop bags provided, no treats, no dog food for sale, and no walking routes suggested, and services such as dog walking, sitting or grooming are absent entirely, as are staff specifically trained for canine guests. There is no bar access for dogs, and cats are not welcome at all. This suits an owner with a well behaved, self sufficient dog who mainly wants shared meals and lounge time rather than a full slate of pampering; those wanting a dedicated dog facility or grooming on site should look elsewhere.
