Cosmos Inicia Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Ryotaro Takachi, hereinafter 'Cosmos Inicia'), a member of the Daiwa House Group, has opened the integrated dog park 'Ruff-Laugh Chiba' in Mobara City, Chiba Prefecture, on Saturday, July 11, through the city's private proposal system.

This project is an integrated dog park initiative jointly promoted by Cosmos Inicia and Mobara City (Mayor: Jun Ichihara, hereinafter 'Mobara City') to revitalize local assets and create a new hub for exchange and tourism. The site, formerly 'Himeharu no Sato' which closed in 2020, has been redeveloped into a facility where dog owners can enjoy "staying, playing, and relaxing" with their pets. In addition to overnight stays, day-use visits are also available, allowing guests to spend quality time with their dogs in a free-style manner through expansive dog runs and lounge areas. The park aims to attract dog lovers to Mobara City, thereby increasing visitor numbers and stimulating the local economy.
