IX Holdings Inc. (Headquarters: Ise City, Mie Prefecture) group company, Shima Mediterranean Village Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shima City, Mie Prefecture, President & CEO: Akira Onishi) will fully renovate its popular guest room 'Wan Wan Suite Room,' where guests can stay with their beloved dogs, and begin offering it from May 15, 2026.
This renovation significantly improves the comfort and safety of dogs, as well as the convenience for owners, based on feedback from guests who have stayed with us. We aim to provide a more high-quality and free stay experience, as if you were traveling abroad with your beloved dog.
■What is Shima Mediterranean Village's Wan Wan Suite Room?
These are dog-friendly exclusive rooms, limited to 2 villas, located within the private villa area of Shima Mediterranean Village's iconic white townscape.
It is a detached villa style, featuring a spacious approximately 120 sqm space with a bedroom on the first floor and a living room on the second. During your stay, you can freely explore the beautiful townscape, which changes its expression day and night, with your beloved dog, enjoying an extraordinary experience as if you were traveling in a Mediterranean town.
■Main Points of the Renovation
1. **New Rule: Spend Time Together Even in the Bedroom**
We have lifted the previous restriction on dogs using the bedroom. By spending time in the same space as your beloved dog, we offer a more reassuring stay.
2. **New Breakfast Style to Enjoy with Your Dog**
While dogs are not permitted in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast, we have newly prepared a breakfast that can be enjoyed with your dog in your room.
With a takeaway box style breakfast that can be enjoyed in the room, you can spend a relaxing morning time with your beloved dog without worrying about others. Additionally, you can continue to enjoy light meals with your dog at the in-house cafe (9:00 AM - 5:30 PM).
3. **Responding to Multi-Pet Household Needs**
We have reviewed the previous head count restrictions, and now up to 3 small/medium dogs or 2 large dogs can stay simultaneously. This allows for family trips with all members.
4. **Experiential Content to Enjoy with Your Dog**
We offer a variety of content to make your stay itself a special memory, such as cafes, craft experiences, and cruising, all enjoyable with your dog.
5. **Room Design Considering Dog's Health and Safety**
To reduce the burden on your dog's paws and legs, we have adopted 'Toli Fabric Tile,' a special non-slip flooring material. This creates an environment where they can relax safely indoors.
6. **Clean and Comfortable Indoor Environment**
In addition to the high-performance air purifier 'Airdog,' we have introduced the ozone deodorizing equipment 'Sunstar Giken QAIS-Air.' This reduces bothersome odors unique to pet-friendly accommodations, creating a clean and safe space.
7. **Abundant Amenity Goods**
We provide special dog cookies and convenient goods for owners (walking bags, cleaning supplies, etc.). These are designed to enhance the enjoyment of your time in the room and your strolls around the village.
8. **Improved Accessibility**
The new guest rooms have been relocated to a closer proximity to the front desk. This reduces the burden of movement, especially when traveling with a lot of luggage for your dog.
9. **Installation of Original Dog Sofa**
We have introduced a dog-specific sofa manufactured by Sanko Co., Ltd., a furniture maker in Shima City. This provides a 'special seat' for your dog.

■Development Background
At Shima Mediterranean Village, we have reached this renovation due to numerous customer requests for 'wanting to spend time with their beloved dogs more freely and comfortably.' We have reviewed and revised each issue that was a challenge in the previous Wan Wan Suite Rooms, such as travel burden, usage restrictions, and indoor environment, with the aim of enhancing the 'value of the travel experience itself with dogs.'
■Summary
With this renovation, Shima Mediterranean Village's Wan Wan Suite Room has evolved from a 'pet-friendly inn' to a 'resort where you can enjoy the travel experience itself with your beloved dog.'
Please experience a special moment feeling the Mediterranean townscape with your beloved dog, your precious family member.
