The outdoor accommodation facility 'Yutorisuto Park Ootoyo' located in Ootoyo Town, Kochi Prefecture (operated by FoundingBase Inc. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kenji Yamamoto, hereafter 'FoundingBase')) reopened its dog run with a renewal on April 11, 2026.
About the Dog Run
The newly renewed dog run has been reborn into a design that pursues the ease of play for dogs and the convenience of their owners. We have prepared an environment where you can comfortably visit as a weekend outing destination.
Background of Development
Based on the concept of 'Always touching the clouds', this facility has provided diverse accommodation experiences along with spectacular views such as the majestic mountain ranges of the Shikoku Mountains, starry night skies, and early morning seas of clouds.
Previously, because the dog run accommodated all breeds together, there were voices saying, 'I worry about the size difference' or 'I can't let my dog play to their heart's content'.
With this renewal, we aim to become a more familiar park as a standard weekend playground, a place where both dogs and their owners can easily refresh themselves.
Features of the Dog Run
Safe space with area division by size: The area has been divided into two: one for large/medium dogs and one for small dogs. You can let your dog play with more peace of mind without worrying about size differences.
'Rewarding play' design tailored to dog characteristics: The large/medium dog area features a spacious environment with slopes, making it a rewarding place to run freely. On the other hand, the small dog area adopted a slightly irregular shape, reflecting feedback that 'dogs prefer irregular shapes'.
Expansion of dedicated facilities to enhance convenience: A dedicated 'foot washing station' and 'poop box' have been newly installed within the dog run. Care and cleanup after playing with your dog can now be done smoothly, greatly improving the convenience for owners.
By installing a 'foot washing station' and a 'poop box' in the dog run, care before and after playing with your dog can be done smoothly. Also, by dividing the dog run area for large/medium dogs and small dogs, they can play without worrying about size differences.
Voice of the Facility Manager
'I would be happy if it becomes a place where both dogs and their owners can easily refresh themselves. Whether the dog run sparks an expanding circle of dog friends, or it becomes a standard weekend playground. We aim to be a familiar park where you don't have to overthink it, but just remember it as 'if we go there, our dog will be happy'.'
