Golden Week Outdoor Event for Dog Lovers "London Dog Festa in Akebonoyama Agricultural Park" Confirmed for May 2nd (Sat) & 3rd (Sun), 2026

Tokyo DOGS Inc. (Headquarters: Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture; Representative Director: Yujin Matsuo) is pleased to announce the "London Dog Festa in Akebonoyama Agricultural Park," an outdoor event designed for dog owners and their beloved dogs to enjoy together, to be held for two days on May 2nd (Sat) and 3rd (Sun), 2026, at Akebonoyama Agricultural Park in Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture.

Admission is free, and various content is planned, including commemorative photo sessions and a photo contest.

In recent years, as more households welcome dogs as family members, there has been growing interest in outdoor events where dog owners can safely participate with their pets and spaces where owners can interact with each other. On the other hand, large-scale community events that allow dogs to participate are limited, and attention is increasingly focused on how people spend their holidays and the coexistence of pets within communities. Against this backdrop, this event aims to create a space where people and dogs can spend time comfortably within the community, enjoying their daily lives with their dogs and leaving behind cherished memories. Akebonoyama Agricultural Park, the venue, is a park with a rich natural environment, offering a sense of openness suitable for visits during the Golden Week holiday period.

First, the commemorative photo session, under the concept of "A Day to Properly Capture 'Togetherness'," will provide opportunities to capture everyday moments, gestures, and atmospheres as photographs. Designed to be participated in as you are, without needing special preparations, it proposes the value of the natural time spent with your dog itself.
