A Welcoming Environment for All Dogs: 'PILI Dog Studio,' a Private Self-Photography Studio

PILI Dog Studio, which opened in April in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, is a fully private self-photography studio where owners and their dogs can freely enjoy taking photos without worrying about their surroundings.

To address concerns from pet owners—such as 'my dog can't sit still,' 'my dog might bark,' or 'I worry about other customers'—the studio employs a complete private booking system.

As it is a self-photography format, owners can capture natural expressions and behaviors at their own pace. Over 90% of users have reported satisfaction and a desire to use the service again.

The studio provides seasonal sets and a pop-style interior, ensuring a comfortable experience even on rainy days. The studio uses a room-based pricing model, making it suitable for various occasions, including multiple pets and meetups.

Customers are free to bring their own props and costumes. Commercial usage is also allowed, making the studio a popular choice for creators and business owners. Starting in June, the studio will introduce a summer-exclusive conceptual room, 'PILI SUMMER,' and currently offers free usage on the pet's birthday.

Staff provide support on shooting methods, ensuring even beginners can enjoy the experience with peace of mind.
