I am a 4-year-old male Shiba dog named Ken. I began my life as a pet, but for the past 2 years, I have been working at a baked potato shop. Being around many people every day brings me joy. The reason for starting this shop is rooted in the history of Japan, where dogs were traditionally kept outside. This allowed many people to have the opportunity to interact with dogs. Now, there are many elderly individuals who love dogs but cannot keep them or who live alone and feel lonely. By visiting our baked potato shop, people can observe the relationship between dogs and humans. I would be happy if even just a little bit of joy is brought to these individuals. - Ken, October 20th 2019.

At Hey Japan!, we strive to keep the places listed on our website as current as possible. However, location owners or management may alter opening times or modify admission requirements without prior notice. Check official websites before visiting.
