Pet registration and vaccinations

Pet dogs aged ninety-one days or older must be registered (once in the pet’s lifetime) and vaccinated against rabies (once a year) in accordance with the law. Have your pet vaccinated (fee charged) at your local veterinary office, and then take the certificate of vaccination to a city branch office, City Residents Services Center or the Shibuya Public Health Center Public Hygiene Division to receive a proof of vaccination and a registration tag.
Every year in spring, group vaccinations are held and you can obtain a proof of vaccination at the site.
City regulations prohibit leaving your dog unleashed and leaving your pet’s feces behind.
