In Japan, the Rabies Prevention Law requires dogs to be registered once in their life and vaccinated once a year. 

Dog owners should notify Minato City of registration and be issued with a license tag, and, after vaccination, a vaccination tag.

It is mandatory to attach the issued license tag and vaccination tag to the dog's collar, etc.

The subsection in charge at Minato Public Health Center is the Life Hygiene Counseling Subsection of the Life Hygiene Section.
