WAN DREAM GARDEN: Celebrating Lives with Rescue Pets

The WAN DREAM GARDEN event is set to take place in the heart of Tokyo from September 20 to September 26, 2025. Organized by the Riku Natsu Project in collaboration with Peace Wanko, this initiative seeks to highlight the importance of animal welfare and promote the adoption of rescue dogs and cats.

Background of the Event

The name “WAN” carries a dual meaning; it reflects both the sound a dog makes and the concept of unity — “One.” This event embodies the commitment to connect each precious life with a brighter future, halt all forms of animal euthanasia globally, and encourage a harmonious lifestyle between humans and animals. The event strives to bring together supporters and attendees to realize a shared dream of rescue animals finding loving homes.
