No Weight LimitOMO5 Kumamoto Dog Friendly Review
OMO5 Kumamoto holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog owners. The hotel welcomes dogs into its bar, restaurant, terrace and lounge, provided you show a vaccination certificate at check in and keep your dog on a lead in the food and drink areas. It has also been featured on local television as a place where you can stay with your pet, and it recommends nearby green spaces for walking, including Kumamoto Castle's Ninomaru Park and the green belt along the Shirakawa River, giving owners a genuine stretch of outdoor options close by.
Day to day, the rooms come equipped with a dog bed and real food and water bowls, so you will not need to bring the basics yourself. There is no weight or size limit on dogs, although the number you may bring depends on the room type, with a maximum of two dogs per room. You may leave your dog alone in the room while you go out to eat, which suits owners who want to dine without constant back and forth. The dog fee is 5,093 yen per dog per night, which is fair given the range of shared spaces your dog can join you in, and there is no damage deposit to budget for.
The main restriction is that only three rooms, across two dog friendly room types, can accommodate dogs, so availability will be tighter than at a hotel where every room takes pets. The hotel does not provide a garden, a dedicated dog space, a wash or shower area for dogs, dog food, treats, toys, a dog-walking service, or grooming, and it does not arrange a sitter or keep an emergency vet number on file. This stay suits an owner with a well behaved, leash trained dog who mainly wants to relax together in the bar, restaurant or lounge and take self-guided walks nearby, booking well ahead for one of the limited dog friendly rooms. Owners wanting on-site grooming, a dog run or extra practical support such as poop bags should look elsewhere.
Roch Score: 25/77. Meets the Roch Dog Friendly Standard. This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
