Glamping Facility 'Washinmura' in Futtsu, Chiba Promotes Unique Stay with a 200-Year-Old Traditional House and 16 Rescue Cats

Washinmura, a glamping facility located in the rural mountains of Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture, offers six guest rooms including a 200-year-old traditional Japanese house (kominka), tents, and snow peak Jyubako mobile houses. The site is home to 16 rescue cats, goats, dogs, and Silkie chickens, providing guests with opportunities to interact with nature and animals. Daytime activities focus on traditional nature experiences, such as exploring the forest with traditional carrying baskets. Evening activities include relaxing by the campfire in the presence of the free-roaming animals. For the health and safety of the animals, and under veterinary guidance, guests are prohibited from bringing commercial pet treats. Instead, the facility's shop sells a limited quantity of carefully selected, additive-free treats made from domestic ingredients. The facility notes that cats roam freely on the premises, advising caution for guests with allergies. It also clarifies that animal interactions are not guaranteed due to their unpredictable nature. All resident cats and dogs are spayed/neutered and receive regular vaccinations and tick prevention treatments.
