Best Areas for Pet-Friendly Living in Osaka

In Japan, renting an apartment can be difficult if you have a pet. Only a few properties allow pets, and landlords often require extra key money or higher rent. At Maido Estate, we help negotiate with landlords to secure a home for you and your pet.

  • Utsubo Park (Nishi Ward): A dog-friendly park where you’ll always meet pet owners, especially in the evenings.
  • Umekita (Umeda Area): A spacious new development ideal for long walks with pets.
  • Osaka Castle Park: A vast green space with scenic walking trails perfect for pets.
  • Nakanoshima Park: A peaceful riverside park with designated pet-friendly zones.
  • Osaka Bay Area: Waterfront parks and open-air shopping centers that welcome pets.

Finding a pet-friendly apartment in Osaka can come with specific conditions, such as:

  • Size and breed restrictions
