Sunset Dog Run

Event Overview

The Dog Run at Kibagata Park in Komatsu, Ishikawa, is a special spot to connect with your pet amidst beautiful nature. The vast facility features three distinct areas tailored to dog size, ensuring a safe environment for exercise. It is especially valuable for large breeds with high energy or younger dogs looking to develop social skills. Deepen your bond with your pet in this serene, natural setting.

Highlights & How to Enjoy

The biggest draw is the 'off-leash' freedom. The facility covers 1,664m² and is divided into three sections to prevent trouble between different breeds: 'Yoshitsune' for small dogs, 'Toshi' for medium dogs, and 'Benkei' for large dogs. This ensures optimal exercise for every dog. With rest areas and water stations available, both pets and owners can stay comfortable. Watching your dog sprint through the gentle evening breeze is a blissful experience.

Schedule

The next scheduled session is August 29, 2026. General operating hours are 15:00–17:00 on weekdays and 13:00–17:00 on weekends/holidays. Please note that the facility may close during summer (July/August) and winter (January/February) due to seasonal restrictions. For the late August date, please check official Facebook pages for any sudden changes due to weather or maintenance.
