Wakkanai City Animal Fureai Land
An Animal Facility Connected to Dogs Featured in Films and TV Dramas
Wakkanai City Animal Fureai Land is an animal facility supervised by animal trainer Miya Tadaomi and known as the “Star Dog Village.” Located about a one-minute drive from Wakkanai Airport, it is home to a variety of animals.
The facility has connections to dogs featured in films and television productions, including Bub from the musical Annie and Jiro from the television drama Antarctica. Taro and Jiro, who appeared in the film Antarctica (1983), also spent their final years here. Their gravesites remain on the grounds.
Animals kept at the facility include rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, turkeys, and goats. Visitors can feed the animals. On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, opportunities to interact with miniature goats and Labrador Retrievers may also be available.
The about 6,000-square-meter dog run is equipped with play structures for dogs and is available for visitors with dogs. The guesthouse Tonakai is also located on the premises and offers accommodation for guests with dogs, subject to its lodging conditions.
