actually its mainly Korea where Dog is a delicasy....
oh and Nyororin is a Lady  i dont think its fair to put a animal through the trauma of quarentine just for your own selfish wants; best to let it stay with people that can look after it; then if and when you find a place in japan that will accomidate your pet wants and needs; then start to look for one. one point; if you plan to work in japan; hours and commutes can be long; having a dog maynot be ideal as it'd be even more tiring to look after it after a hard day at work...  -~Moddess ~- ▲ ▲ ▲

I know not everything you read is true but here it is.....
as posted by: Boing Boing: Japan's rent-a-puppy business Japan's rent-a-puppy business Sid sez: "Babies can't be far behind ... in Tokyo you now can rent the cute little dogs that are all the rage. About $15 will get you an hour of canine bonding, and for a heftier fee you can take one home for the night. All puppy necessities included. These same dogs usually sell for about $3,000-$5,000." In Tokyo alone, the number of shops registered to rent out pets grew to 115 as of March, up from 17 just three years earlier. Each person who rents a dog by the hour is given a leash, some tissues and a plastic bag - in case the pooch has to answer the call of nature. They also get strict instructions not to let the dogs run free, to keep them in the shade on hot summer days and refrain from giving them snacks. and here is more general info about dogs in japan: ABC News: Japan Says Goodbye Kitty, Hello Pampered Pup

"oh and Nyororin is a Lady" Of course she is! Who are you telling that?
 Thanks everyone for the useful info you gave (and thanks for the side-posting about eating dogs as well, it cheered up my Monday morning  ).We won't be taking a dog with us. We will get a dog in Japan when it's possible. We've got the basics now, but keep posting if you feel like it  Brother of: AoshiShinomori, lollijenn, musashi, Riku8 Uncle to: ObscureLove ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 日本と日本語とアニメが大好き。 ^_^ 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The thing with renting dogs - dogs in Japan are REALLY expensive. Most people buy their dogs, as a lot of places allow dogs under a certain size only (For example, our condo allows dogs below a certain size and weight.) With a mix breed, you can`t be sure of what the mix is so the dog may grow to be larger than the allowed size. It would be awful to come to love a dog, but not be able to keep it because it grew too large. So, people will rent different dog breeds to find one that fits their personality and lifestyle before dropping the HUGE amount of money needed to buy a dog.

most mansion/apt don't allow pets, as what Nyororin explained. But Lots of tenants do have pets. And they are Japanese Tenants not foreigners.
The thing is, as long as you don't report them they will not report you. But first you have to observe your neighbors. And I agree with everybody else, don't bring your dog, its both tiring for you and your beloved pet. Though you can maybe apply as a volunteer to shelter dogs that don't have a home yet or no longer have a home.
