いぬたま・ねこたま

いぬたま・ねこたま was an animal theme park in Setagaya-ku divided into separate sections for dogs and cats, where visitors could spend time with multiple breeds in hands-on settings. The facility combined play spaces, areas showcasing different dog and cat breeds, and quieter zones for feline interaction.

The park opened in 1995 as a place for Japanese visitors to experience direct contact with various dog and cat breeds. Development plans for the land led to the closure in 2006, ending decades of animal-focused visitor experiences.

The place became a gathering point where Japanese pet owners could see how different animals behaved and interacted with people in a controlled setting. Visitors left with a deeper understanding of various breeds' personalities and care requirements.

Visitors should have allowed time for both the dog and cat sections, as each offered different activities and interactions. Comfortable clothing was advisable, especially for those who wanted to actively play with the animals.

The park regularly hosted dog shows where different breeds displayed their skills and natural behaviors in front of crowds. These live demonstrations became a highlight that drew crowds interested in seeing animals perform and trainers at work.
