Discover a New Way to Travel with Your Dog in Urban Japan

OMO Hotels Introduces the "Urban Dog Travel Declaration"

In a remarkable initiative, Hoshino Resorts has launched the "Urban Dog Travel Declaration" at their OMO hotels across Japan, providing dog owners with the ideal platform for a stress-free urban getaway. Known for its vibrant city locations, OMO allows guests to seamlessly enjoy the city with their furry companions. Notably, the OMO7 Yokohama, which opens in April 2026, along with OMO5 Tokyo Gotanda and OMO7 Osaka, has become the pioneer of this innovative approach to urban travel with dogs.

The Essence of Urban Dog-friendly Travel

The idea behind the Urban Dog Travel Declaration is not just to accommodate pets, but to enrich the travel experience for both dogs and their owners. OMO hotels are expanding their offerings to include pet-friendly cafés, restaurants, and well-planned walking areas in urban neighborhoods, addressing the common concerns of dog owners regarding city travel. With detailed maps of nearby pet-friendly spots provided by knowledgeable staff, guests can now navigate the urban landscape with their furry friends confidently.

Overcoming Challenges of Urban Travel

Research among dog owners indicated key barriers to urban travel: a need for detailed information on dog-friendly restaurants and walking routes, and the anxiety of leaving pets alone while handling errands. By providing AI-powered pet cameras for monitoring dogs from rooms and offering communal areas where pets can dine with their owners, OMO is tackling these issues head-on. This ensures that pets are part of the entire urban experience, not just an afterthought during stay.

Benefits of the Urban Dog Travel Declaration

1. Shorter Displacement and Lesser Strain on Pets

For many pet owners, the hassle of travel logistics can often put a damper on plans. OMO locations are designed for minimal travel strain on dogs, appealing to owners mindful of their pet's comfort.

2. Abundant Pet-friendly Dining Options

With numerous restaurants allowing dogs, guests can enjoy meals without the worry of finding dog-friendly venues. Discovering new culinary delights with your pet is not only feasible but enjoyable at OMO hotels.

3. Leisure and Sightseeing Opportunities

Beyond pet-centric activities, staying at OMO also allows guests to indulge in shopping and local attractions. The dual focus on leisure and sightseeing while accommodating pets creates a unique experience that extends to the joy of traveling together.

4. Adapted Pet Policies for Easier Stays

Reflecting on global veterinary guidelines, OMO has adjusted their vaccination requirements, thereby making the travel experience less stressful for guests and their beloved pets. This reform is aimed at fostering a safe and enjoyable environment for pets while adhering to health standards.

Special Promotions to Mark the Declaration

In celebration of the Urban Dog Travel Declaration, OMO hotels are offering discounts of up to 30% on accommodation and waiving fees for the first dog per room, making this an excellent opportunity for dog owners looking for an unforgettable city trip. Available from April 21, 2026, guests can take advantage of these limited-time offers.
