Which hotels in Japan take dogs, and what does the dog cost? Each hotel answers on its own pet page, terms or consent form, with its own weight limit and vaccine rules. So we read the official pages and put every hotel that publishes a pet fee in one place: 26 hotels.
The short version: at the 13 hotels that charge for the first dog, fees run from ¥2,500 to ¥11,385 a night, and the median is ¥5,093. At 8 more, the first dog is in the plan rate and only a second dog has a price. At 5 Regina Resorts, the fee depends on where you book.

What the hotel pet fees table shows
What is the median pet fee?
¥5,093 a night across these 13 hotels, but read it with care: 6 Hoshino Resorts hotels charge exactly that under one chain rule. Counting Hoshino Resorts once, the median of the 8 values is ¥4,746.5, between ¥4,400 and ¥5,093. Most first-dog fees here fall between ¥2,500 and ¥5,500. That is the middle of this table, not a rate for Japan.
What are the cheapest and most expensive pet fees?
The lowest is ¥2,500, at Toyoko Inn’s pet rooms and at Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay, which also charges ¥5,500 per room per stay for cleaning. The highest is ¥11,385 at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, a per-room fee with one pet allowed, tax and service included. Next come the two Marriott hotels at ¥5,500.
Is the second dog cheaper?
At three hotels, yes. Toyoko Inn charges ¥2,000 each for the 2nd and 3rd pet, Izu Marriott Hotel Shuzenji ¥2,200 from the 2nd dog, and Hakodate Danshaku Club ¥2,200 from the 2nd. Hoshino Resorts and Shimoda Prince Hotel charge the same for every dog. Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay’s fee is per dog.
Do pet fees differ within the same chain?
At Hoshino Resorts, no: its six hotels in the table charge ¥5,093, tax included. At Marriott and Prince they do. Fuji and Izu Marriott charge ¥5,500, while the Fairfield by Marriott hotels near Kyoto include one dog in the room rate. Shimoda Prince Hotel charges ¥3,300 per dog; Tsumagoi Prince Hotel includes one dog and charges ¥6,000 for a second. Look up the hotel, not the chain.
Hotel pet fees when the first dog is in the room rate
At these 8 hotels the first dog is part of the plan or base rate, so there is no first-dog fee to compare. We list them apart and keep them out of the median.
| Hotel | First pet | Second pet | Size and number | Vaccine papers | Tax and rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hotel Livemax “Dog×Stay” Tokyo, Yokohama and others | Included in the plan rate | ¥2,000 extra from the 2nd dog | Small dogs under 10 kg, up to 2 | Combination and rabies vaccine certificates (copies OK) | Tax not stated |

How much is a second dog at these hotels?
From ¥2,000 at Hotel Livemax to ¥10,120 at Conrad Tokyo, where only suites take a second pet. Kanucha Bay’s page gives the ¥6,000 second-dog fee but does not say how the first dog is charged, so ask.
Pet fees that depend on where you book
The five Regina Resorts, a resort chain built for guests with dogs, publish two prices. Book on the official site or by phone and up to 2 dogs stay free, any size, with ¥2,200 per night for each dog after that. Book on another site and every dog costs ¥3,300 a night. Both prices include tax.
| Hotel | Official site or phone | Other booking sites | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regina Resort Fuji Yamanashi (Mt. Fuji area) | 2 dogs free; ¥2,200 from the 3rd | ¥3,300 per dog | — |

Per room, up to 6 small to medium dogs or 3 large dogs, except some room types. The Yamanakako terms ask for rabies and 5-in-1 (or more) vaccines within a year (an antibody test is accepted), a crate when the dog stays alone, and no dogs on the beds. The chain takes dogs only, not cats or birds.
Pet rules at Japanese hotels: size, papers and restaurants
What are the weight limits for dogs?
Where a page sets one: about 10 kg at Toyoko Inn, Hotel Livemax, Tsumagoi Prince Hotel and Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo (13 kg in suites); 12 kg at Kanucha Bay; under 15 kg at Conrad Tokyo; 15 kg combined at Fairfield. Hoshinoya Fuji stops at 20 kg, Hotel & Doggy Kyoto Nijo at under 30 kg and Shimoda Prince Hotel at under 40 kg. Hoshinoya Karuizawa, Risonare Yatsugatake and Regina Resorts take large dogs.
What vaccination papers do hotels ask for?
Proof of a rabies shot and a combination vaccine, often 5-in-1 or more, is the common rule. Timing varies: Toyoko Inn and Fuji Marriott want the shot 2 weeks to under 1 year old, Hoshino Resorts’ chain terms a yearly rabies shot and a combination vaccine within 3 years, Regina within a year. Conrad Tokyo wants copies 7 days before arrival.
What if my dog has a vaccine exemption?
The hotels split. Regina Resort Kamogawa accepts a rabies exemption certificate issued within a year. Hoshino Resorts refuses unvaccinated dogs even when a vet has granted an exemption, and Fairfield does not accept an exemption certificate.
Can dogs come into hotel restaurants?
Mostly not. Toyoko Inn, Sheraton’s Galleria Cafe, Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, Tsumagoi Prince Hotel, both Marriott hotels, Hoshinoya Fuji’s main dining room and Risonare Atami’s buffet say no. Hoshinoya Karuizawa allows dogs at Kasuke, and Risonare Yatsugatake at YYgrill, with limited seats.
How must dogs move through the hotel?
Often in a bag or cage. Toyoko Inn asks for a bag with the head hidden, and Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo for a cage that covers the whole body, even in the parking lot and garden. Hoshinoya Karuizawa asks for a leash or cage indoors and out.

How to book a hotel with a dog in Japan
Should I book the hotel directly?
At Regina Resorts it saves money, since other sites pay ¥3,300 per dog. Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa asks you to book two dogs by phone. Dog rooms can be few (Okuma has 3; Hoshinoya Fuji, one dog cabin a day), so check the cancellation terms; see our hotel cancellation guide.
What should I check before I book?
The weight limit, the number of dogs, which papers to bring or send ahead, and whether the fee is paid at the hotel. Several hotels in the tables are resorts; if you drive, see our parking fees table. Traveling with children too? See the kids stay free table.
