About Regina Resort
Tokyo Tatemono Resort's history with pet-friendly hotels began in 2009 when they started accepting dogs in some cottages at "Hatori Lake Highland Regina Forest" (former name) in Fukushima Prefecture, developed by Tokyo Tatemono. In 2013, they began operating "Regina Resort Fuji" as the first pet-friendly luxury resort hotel in the "Regina Resort" series where all rooms accommodate pets. The brand has since expanded and currently operates 9 properties across the Fuji Five Lakes area, Karuizawa area, Izu-Hakone area, Boso area, and Lake Biwa area.
