On August 1, 2026, ANELLA Group proudly opened its newest venue, the "ANELLA CAFE Branch Okayama Kitannagase," making it the third location within Okayama Prefecture and the 40th in total throughout Japan.

The unique concept of ANELLA CAFE is to provide a comfortable space where visitors can interact with rescued dogs and cats, enjoying the therapeutic benefits animals can offer. This cafe is an inviting place where anyone can stop by, relax, and potentially find a new furry family member.

The ambiance is designed to help patrons escape the stresses of daily life, making it the perfect spot for unwinding or taking a break from shopping. Visitors are encouraged to spend time with animals whom they feel a connection to and are free to adopt if they choose.

The newly opened Okayama location is not just about animal interaction; it also incorporates aspects of social support.
