“Wood Design Park Okazaki” in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture is a glamping and BBQ facility that takes advantage of the nature along the river. There are various facilities such as a tree house in the guest lounge, and a resident cat Tora lives there.
Resident cat Tora that responds when called
In the 2025 Rakuten Travel resident cat ranking, Tora is introduced as a friendly cat who responds vocally when called by name and begs guests for food. This site classifies it as B because there is a specific situation in which the cat interacts with people.
However, there is no information confirming that Tora enters guest rooms. Giving human food interferes with health care, so please do not give it to the cat without permission from staff, even if they ask for it.
17 rooms in total, 4 types of accommodation styles
Official website provides information on large glamping tents, glass cabins, indoor “room camping”, and jungle domes with drum open-air baths.
All 17 rooms are advertised as having dinner and breakfast, air conditioning, heating, and a bath, but the facilities vary depending on the room type. You can only stay with your own pets, such as dogs, in designated guest rooms, and there are different rules regarding contact with the resident cat.
Charcoal BBQ and morning bread
