By dog friendly I don’t mean being able to take my dog into restaurants and shops. I just mean generally. For example, are there any areas where it would be generally acceptable to have your dog off leash, like dog parks or hiking trails? Is it too hard to find a house to rent? Things like that.
I have a 60 lb dog and am going to be bringing her with me if I move.
A little about us:
My dog is well trained, quiet, and has a gentle temperament. I prefer to live in a detached house, and not an apartment. I’m looking into the city of Kofu, since it seems to be in close proximity to lots of nature. We are currently living in Alaska, so lots of nature and freedom to roam as she pleases. I understand that most places will not be like that. And lastly, I am planning to buy a car while I’m there (2 years +), so that we can travel freely.
So far this is what I’ve learned:
– it’s hard to find an apartment to rent with a dog.
– public transportation is a no go with a medium sized dog.
– obviously you have to clean up after your dog and leash it.
Now that I’ve gotten all the easily acquired info out of the way, is there anything else I should know?
Anyone here live in or has lived in Kofu (or other areas) with a medium sized doggo? What was your experience?
