Returning home with dog

I am planning to return to Japan this summer for about a month. For short trips, I have asked a pet sitter or pet hotel to take care of my pets, but this time it will be a little longer, so if it is not too difficult to bring them back, I would like to bring them back with me. If anyone has ever been back to Japan with their pets, we would love to hear about it.

If possible, we recommend that you leave them with us.
From here, you only need to get an endorsement from the authorities.
It is very difficult to come back to Hawaii from Japan.
Hawaii, England, Australia, and a few other countries are rabies-free, so it is very easy to go from these countries to other countries.
Japan has not had a domestic outbreak for decades, but is still a designated rabies country. So,
coming to Hawaii from Japan is a hassle.
If you check out Hawaii's quarantine site to see how difficult it is, I think you will
be able to find a good sitter.

I went back to Japan with my dog before.
It took me
about half a year to prepare all the necessary documents to return to Japan, and I remember it was quite difficult. I recommend you to prepare as soon as possible.

I assisted a person who was planning to bring his dog back to Japan last November, just like you, so here is the information I have for you. First, I think you need to go to the AQS website in Hawaii （ URL below, and prepare the documents according to Checklist 3, after consulting with your veterinarian.
https://hdoa.hawaii.gov/ai/aqs/aqs-info/
The keys are 1 ． Microchip, 2 ． At least 2 doses of rabies vaccine, 3 ． FAVN antibody test data, 4 ． Complete and submit Form279 （ Vet's signature required ）
The person seems to have returned to Japan safely this spring, so please send me an e-mail and I can introduce him to you.

I forgot to mention earlier that if you feel it is too much work to prepare yourself, there are companies that can take care of all the formalities for you. （ below ）

I take my dog with me every year. It is difficult every time, but both Hawaii and Japan have import manuals, so if you follow the procedures, you should be fine. The animal quarantine office in Japan is very kind and will give you detailed instructions. I hope you and your dog have an enjoyable trip.

Dear all,
Thank you very much for your valuable information and opinions. It seems that it is too late to start preparations now that our departure from Japan is only a month away. I regret now that I should have started the preparation earlier. Next time, I would like to proceed as soon as possible based on your information.
