ANELLA CAFE Kawasaki Station Opening

ANNE​LA Group, based in Setagaya, Tokyo, has announced the grand opening of the new ANELLA CAFE location in front of Kawasaki Station on January 22, 2026, marking a significant milestone as the 20th cafe in the country. This will also be the third store in Kanagawa Prefecture, enhancing the accessibility of rescued dogs and cats to the community.

A New Home for Rescued Animals

The primary goal of ANELLA CAFE is to create a bridge that connects rescued animals with potential adopters. The relaxed atmosphere of the cafe allows visitors to enjoy their time with dogs and cats, thereby supporting the rescue efforts. People may often feel overwhelmed when considering adoption or participation in donation events. ANELLA CAFE aims to lower these barriers to provide a nurturing environment where individuals can easily interact with rescued pets.

Columbus the dog and Rosa the cat, both looking adorable, symbolize the animal friends you can meet at this cafe. This new location, designed with a bright Hawaiian theme, ensures that both visitors and the animals feel comfortable and welcomed.

A Unique Experience

The cafe is not just an ordinary eatery; it serves as a place where individuals can meet and connect with animals in need. ANELLA CAFE provides an opportunity for visitors to experience firsthand the impact they can have on the lives of these animals. Revenues generated from entrance fees play an essential role in sustaining ongoing rescue operations.

Since inception, ANELLA CAFE has facilitated approximately 3,000 successful adoptions, illustrating the significant contributions made by visitors who spend time at the cafe. Each interaction fosters connections which can lead to life-changing adoptions.

Promoting Inclusivity and Support

One of the standout features of ANELLA CAFE is its commitment to inclusivity. The cafe operates as a Type B employment support facility for those with disabilities. This initiative allows employees to gain valuable skills in customer service while caring for the animals. The positive effects of interacting with animals, including benefits such as animal therapy, create a meaningful work environment cultivated on mutual connections within the community.

A Vision for a Better Future

Dai Ikuto, CEO of ANELLA Group, shared, "Our primary aspiration is to save the lives of dogs and cats nationwide and make their world a better place. ANELLA CAFE stands not only as a rescue center but as a location for meaningful encounters that encourage visitors to contemplate the value of life. We prioritize creating a positive cycle that supports both rescued animals and the people in the community."

As the 20th establishment unfolds in the Kawasaki area, Ikuto believes this new location will become a haven for rescued animals, where they can enjoy a safe space and where visitors can experience meaningful connections.
