Hotels That Allow USA Service Dog
Hotels That Allow USA Service Dog
My American Service dog requires a medical treatment in Tokyo, we already comply with the Rabies Quarantine requirements and I have found a private dog-friendly taxi to assist during our stay now, I am looking for a hotel that will welcome us for about 2 weeks. The dog is small and will be inactive because of the medical procedure; I do not speak Japanese thus, I am hoping for recommendations here. The Yokohama area is preferred, if possible. Thank you.

Hi!
Two questions:
- Are you getting an official temporary license for your service dog while here?
- Does your disability require an accessible room? Or is a standard room ok?
I ask because, if you are getting the temporary license, that you should not be discriminated for your dog and be able to stay in any hotel*, and if you can use a regular room, then you could also look at dog friendly hotel.
However, thee first place I would check is Keiyo Hotel in Shinjuku as they are the first hotel in Japan to have a dog toilet for assistance dogs and can provide a dog bed and bowls I believe.
Anyway, let us know those answers and we can go from there.
*Many places are still woefully unaware of rules for allowing assistance dogs though…
Kimpton Hotels are known for being pet-friendly, and they have a new location in Shinjuku. In the US, they are one of the few chains that don’t charge fees either. I haven’t had a chance to visit this location yet to see how they work in Japan, though. https://www.kimptonshinjuku.com/pet-stay/
Wow, thanks for this info – you are amazing!
The site even shows they have an accessible room: https://www.kimptonshinjuku.com/tokyo-accommodations/accessible-accommodations/
I hope to do a site inspection of the Kimpton in December, so I can share photos then. I always make a point to ask about accessible rooms and “pet friendly” policies. Based on my personal stays with my furry members of the family, Kimpton is the best for pets hands-down.
Thank you for the suggestions. I do not need an accessible room and I do not think I will get the temporary permit, I am already overwhelmed with the amount of the paperwork necessary for short term travel and the surgery.
I found the Kimpton during an Expedia search and, although its over an hour from the clinic, it seems the most pet friendly accomodation supplying a pet bed, treats, etc.
I also found a pet friendly taxi who will pick us up at the airport, take us to the hotel and clinic and generally, be there when I need them. Thats a relief.
I will look at the Keiyo Hotel, thank you. I would be grateful for any other suggestions as well. The closer I can be to the clinic, the better however, I am going to do my best to enjoy Tokyo when I am there as well so a bit of a journey is ok.
I really appreciate your kind and prompt responses!
Can you let us know the nearest station to the hotel? Tokyo and Yokohama are very big, so knowing the general area can help us make suggestions.
The Keio Plaza looks amazing. I will email them to ask about their Service Dog policy, thank you!
Let me know if you don’t get a response. I have a contact there.
Thank you, much appreciated. I will give them a few days.
Josh, the nearest Station is Azamino Station. My pup needs heart surgery at the specialized hospital clinic just steps from this Station. Thank you.
