For many dog owners, Man's best friend feels like a household deity. While showering them with doggy treats is probably sufficient, those with some--well, a lot--of cash to spare can really go the extra mile and treat them like it with a new extravagant dog house from Japan. Bunkazai Kozo Keikaku, a company that provides maintenance and earthquake-resistant support of Japanese cultural properties, is taking orders for a $150,000 shrine-style doghouse built by expert shrine and temple carpenters.

The luxurious dog house is called "inudono", which you can translate to "dog palace". The new "supreme dog house" is built by actual Japanese temple, shrine, and castle carpenters, and uses the graceful roof curves, intricate braid work, and detailed carvings seen in Zen Buddhist temple architecture from the Kamakura period (1185-1333).

Because it's crafted by such skilled traditional artisans, the price, not including tax, is a whopping $150,000 (1,950,000 yen). At the current time, only 5 units are scheduled to be built, with sales beginning September 1st but reservations being held until August 31st.
