Fuji Harness, Guide dog training facility in Fujinomiya, Japan
Fuji Harness is a specialized training facility for assistance dogs in Fujinomiya with dedicated training areas and meeting rooms. The facility was designed to help visually impaired people through the work of trained guide dogs.
The facility opened in October 2006 and received an important architecture award in 2011 for its design. This shows how the building was considered exemplary for social infrastructure in Japan from the start.
The place plays an important role in raising awareness about disabilities in Japanese society. Visitors can see how guide dogs interact with people in their daily work and the difference they make in people's lives.
Visitors can book guided tours to watch training and interact with the dogs. Getting there is easiest by local bus, and it helps to plan ahead when visiting this location.
The architect Manabu Chiba designed the building so that blind people can move around safely and independently. The space layout includes special details that people without sight need in everyday life.
