Past events

Hana Jyoin,” which sponsors the event, is a historic funeral service company with offices in Kakogawa, Takasago, and Kobe, and plans and operates more than 100 events a year as a business other than funeral services.

The Dog Fest was initially held as an opening event for the company’s “pet funeral” business, but since dog-related events were rare in Kakogawa, the event drew a huge response and has now grown into an event involving the local community, created together with people from inside and outside the company, and employing student interns.

＜A word from the reporter:
I believe this is the first time that a dog festival of this scale has been held in Kakogawa City. I am sure you will be able to spend a day enjoying yourself and your dog to the fullest on the vast riverbed.
