Overview
The Dog Dept Garden Resort Awa Shirahama in Minamiboso, Chiba is built with four-legged companions in mind, offering a camping experience where dogs are genuinely welcome rather than merely tolerated. The 4.8-star Google rating from 316 reviews suggests that both pet owners and their dogs consistently enjoy their stays here.
The campground offers outdoor accommodations suited to visitors looking for a nature-focused stay.

Coastal cliffs give way to secluded beaches, and the ocean delivers fresh seafood daily. The area feels remote yet sits just 90 minutes from Tokyo. Nearby attractions worth exploring include Nojimazaki Lighthouse, Shirahama Beach, flower fields, coastal hiking.
Getting here from Tokyo: Chiba is reached from Tokyo via the JR Sotobo or Uchibo Lines, the Tokyo-Wan Aqua-Line expressway, or the Keiyo Expressway. Most destinations are 1-2 hours from central Tokyo by car or train. Online booking is available, which is recommended especially during peak seasons. The website offers some English content, making planning easier for international visitors.
The Dog Dept Garden Resort Awa Shirahama is best suited for pet owners. Camping is enjoyable year-round thanks to Chiba's mild maritime climate. Spring (March-May) brings cherry blossoms and wildflowers, summer (June-August) is peak beach season, and autumn (October-November) delivers comfortable temperatures and fall color. Book early during holidays and weekends to secure your preferred site.
