Enjoy a Splashing Weekend with Your Furry Friend in Yokosuka!
Yokosuka's Soleil no Oka is set to hold an exciting dog event, the
SOLEIL DOG Friend Ship Day – 2025 SUMMER, on July 5 and 6, 2025. This two-day event promises to offer ample fun and activities for both dogs and their owners in a unique setting. Following the success of the inaugural
SOLEIL DOG PARADE held earlier this year, this event is a spin-off that enables you to create special summer memories with your beloved pet.
Event Highlights
One of the main attractions is the debut of
DOG LAGOON, where the commonly off-limits splash pool transforms into a sprawling dog run and dog pool spanning about 5,000 square meters. Not only does this area provide a safe space for dogs that may not be as comfortable with deep water, but it also caters to all breeds, allowing dogs of all sizes to frolic freely and enjoy the refreshing water.
For those looking for more than just water play, highlights include the
Soreinu! Train, which gives you and your puppy a chance to ride around the park, exploring the beautiful landscapes. Additionally, an assortment of dog products will be featured at the
Soreinu! Marche, while the
Soreinu! Kitchen Street will house various food trucks where you can enjoy delightful meals with your canine companion. Every aspect of this event is designed to strengthen the bond between you and your dog while creating unforgettable summer memories.
Safety Measures
The event organizers assure that staff will regularly water the grounds, ensuring that the environment remains enjoyable and safe even amid high temperatures.
Schedule and Additional Events
The
SOLEIL DOG Friend Ship Day will open its doors from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM each day, and alongside it, the
SOLEIL MUSIC JAMBOREE will also take place. This music contest aims to find a theme song for the SOLEIL DOG PARADE, featuring up to six diverse bands and artists. The winners will showcase their music during the next dog parade scheduled for October.
The two-day festival in July promises to be a fantastic opportunity for dog lovers to celebrate their pets with engaging activities.
