2. A Barrier-Free Design That Lets Dogs and Owners Relax Together
The room is built with a flat floor plan that keeps steps to a minimum, along with ramps and handrails throughout. The aim is a lasting sense of reassurance, so that elderly family members or three-generation groups traveling together can all stay comfortably without worrying about injury. The flooring also uses a specially designed non-slip material for dogs, so that energetic puppies and seniors with weaker legs and hips alike can move around safely and comfortably.

3. A Private Dog Run, Available Rain or Shine, Even in Summer
Guests staying in this room can reserve part of the shared dog run for their exclusive use. Because the area is equipped with a roof and a misting system, it stays comfortable even under strong summer sun or sudden rain. The shared dog run's hours normally end at 11:00 AM at checkout, but for this room they are extended to 11:30 AM, so you can spend a few more precious minutes with your dog right up until it's time to leave.
