Hotels that cater to guests' preferences and interests, such as pets, cycling, movies or books, have been popping up one after another. Businesses are trying hard to set themselves apart from their rivals with original ideas, hoping to improve a declining occupancy rate amid the coronavirus pandemic.
A hotel called inumo Shibakoen that opened in February in Tokyo's Minato Ward, has an 80-square-meter space as a dog park in its basement, which is furnished with subtle-colored walls and a soft, comfortable floor. The hotel has a trimming salon and a kennel.
