DogLife Travel Launches Web Beta With Over 600 Dog-Friendly Facilities Nationwide
The platform uses DogID to standardize vaccination documentation and facility conditions, directly addressing the main friction point that keeps dog travel from being a routine option rather than a special event.

ORIT Inc. launched the web beta of DogLife Travel, a reservation platform for dog owners, on July 15, 2026. The service lists over 600 accommodations across all 47 prefectures, making it the largest dog-travel-specific platform in Japan. It uses the digital passport DogID to manage vaccination records and reduce pre-travel paperwork. A launch campaign offers free stays and discount coupons to all applicants.
Japan's pet tourism market has grown as more owners treat dogs as family, but the actual process of booking a trip remains cumbersome. Each accommodation has its own rules for submitting rabies and combined vaccination certificates, and breed or size restrictions vary widely. General reservation sites rarely convey the specific dog-run or meal services available, leading to mismatches between what guests expect and what facilities offer.
DogLife Travel attempts to solve this by making DogID, a digital passport that stores all necessary dog information, the common foundation. Once the owner registers vaccination data online, no further on-site submission is needed at partner accommodations. The platform also recommends lodging based on the dog's profile, matching acceptance conditions. At launch, it covers over 600 facilities nationwide, including hotels, inns, guesthouses, glamping sites, and campgrounds.
To mark the release, ORIT is running a campaign that gives every applicant a free accommodation coupon and a discount coupon starting July 15.
