Nobuaki Moribe: Spreading smiles and love through the streets of Tokyo

The city of Tokyo, like many metropolises, is attractive for its historical monuments, its culture and entertainment venues. One of the unexpected charms that you can find walking through the famous Yoyogi Park is Nobuaki Moribe , he is a local who is seen walking with 23 dogs every day.

Nobuaki Moribe is the CEO of a dog grooming company called Furi Furi .

He wanted his own dogs (5 poodles, two Chihuahuas, and one Bichon Frize) to live healthy and happy lives with plenty of exercise. Thinking that dogs have more fun when they go in a group, he invited more dogs to walk. Normally walking between 14 and 23 dogs.

Although both he and his dogs love these walks through the city and in company, this also has its challenge. As it is not usual to see a person taking so many dogs for a walk, people stop to take photos and give the dogs a little caress. Nobuaki Moribe puts a diaper on dogs to avoid accidents and awkward moments.

One of the things he thinks about while walking the dogs is about love and peace. He likes people to take pictures with their dogs and it’s a good thing that happened to them that day.

He also usually walks through the areas of Omotesando, Harajuku or even Shinjuku spreading smiles and love through the streets of Tokyo on his walks with his dogs.
