# Farm Animal Resorts The Hotel Sheep Guest House Presents Hospitality for Beasts By Kevin Young | Published 2012-04-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-sheep-guest-house References: [bornrich](http://www.bornrich.com/worlds-hotel-sheep-opens-japan.html) & [hotelsheep](http://www.hotelsheep.com/) PETA activists must be jumping for joy with the Hotel Sheep Guest House, a hotel that's designated just for sheep. It's located in Japan, and is the world's first sheep hotel for people who want their sheep pets to be pampered. Essentially it's like dog sitting but in a hotel...for sheep. In Japan, there's a growing theme of owning sheep as pets, as these furry herds of livestock are perfect companions and responsive to human interaction. Don't think about leaving a horse or piglet here, because it quite simply won't be allowed in. Even rams aren't accepted at the moment, although there is some redesigning and purposing for the care of these fiery head knockers. There's a total of 30 rooms and even television sets with a little extra cost. This chic abode is a haven for your sheep pet if you're planning to leave town. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pet-focused Resorts:** Opportunity to create more specialty hotels and resorts focused on pampering and taking care of pets. - **Rise of Sheep Ownership as Pets:** Opportunity to create products and services catering to the growing audience of those who own sheep as pets. - **Animal-specific Travel:** Opportunity to create travel experiences and accommodations tailored to different types of animals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Opportunity to create specialty hotels and resorts focused on pampering and taking care of pets. - **Pet Care:** Opportunity to create products and services catering to the growing audience of those who own sheep as pets. - **Travel and Tourism:** Opportunity to create travel experiences and accommodations tailored to different types of animals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [In-Hotel Human Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plufls.md) - [Plush Pet Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jellycat-dog-hotel.md) - [Plush Toy Hotel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goodwoof.md) - [Thatched-Roof Wooden Huts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hitsujigoya.md) - [Personalized Pet Amenities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairmont-hotels-resorts1.md) - [Immersive Goat-Inspired Wellness Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-goat-me.md) - [Australian Sleep-Focused Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-sleep-hotel.md) - [Pet-Inspired Hotel Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vip-very-important-pet.md) - [Sheep Wool-Insulated Guest Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-la-escocesa.md)
