有馬わんわんランド, Dog theme park in Arima, Kobe, Japan.
Arima Wanwan Land was a dog-focused theme park in Kobe with spaces dedicated to animal entertainment and interaction. The facility included racing tracks, play areas where visitors could meet different dog breeds, and open grass fields for outdoor activities.
The facility opened in August 2001 under the name Arima Wanda Garden with guidance from Tsukuba Wanwan Land. It was renamed Arima Wanwan Land in 2006 before eventually closing operations.
The name changed from Arima Wanda Garden to Arima Wanwan Land around 2006, when visitor numbers were falling. The park was run by a subsidiary of Kanai Juyo Kogyo, the landowner, which received operational know-how from Sanson Corporation, the operator of Tsukuba Wanwan Land.
The park was located in Kobe and open during daytime hours for visitors of all ages. Families and pet lovers could explore the different zones and spend time with the dogs throughout the day.
The site at 1509-1 Arima-cho, Kita-ku, Kobe, was owned by the firm Kanai Juyo Kogyo, which set up a subsidiary to run the park and obtained operating know-how from Sansui Corporation, the company behind Tsukuba Wanwan Land. The grounds held a dog-racing track, a petting area and a lawn park.
