ANELLACAFE Opens in Hiroshima

On May 6, 2026, the beloved ANELLACAFE franchise opens its first location in Hiroshima, bringing joy and compassion to the renowned city known for its progressive animal welfare initiatives. Positioned in the scenic suburb of Hiroshimakami, which bridges the city center and the northern Kabe area, this café is easily accessible via Kabe Road, one of Hiroshima's main thoroughfares.

The concept of ANELLACAFE is inspired by the "Classic Hawaiian" theme, featuring the inviting ANELLA Blue—a hue reminiscent of clear skies—and the rich Dark Brown, which represents the essence of Hawaiian lands. Customers are welcomed by the vibrant ANELLA logo, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Inside, guests can interact with a mix of both dogs and cats, providing a delightful experience for pet lovers of all kinds. The café features separate sections for dog and cat enthusiasts, ensuring all visitors can find joy in the company of their preferred companions.

To celebrate its opening, ANELLACAFE Hiroshimakami is offering free entry for the first 30 minutes on its opening days of May 6 and 7, inviting everyone to come and enjoy this unique space.

The Mission of ANELLACAFE

ANELLACAFE is not just about coffee and cuddly animals; it plays a pivotal role in animal rescue and welfare. Over 3,500 rescue dogs and cats have found loving homes through their efforts. The café embodies a unique model blending an animal shelter with a work support facility, allowing individuals with disabilities to engage with clientele and care for the animals. This initiative not only fosters a sense of community but also enhances the self-esteem and pride of those involved through animal therapy.

The CEO of ANELLA Group, Daiki Ito, expressed his enthusiasm about the café's opening, stating, "ANELLACAFE Hiroshimakami is our first location in Hiroshima and our third in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions, following store openings in Kurashiki and Marugame. I am delighted that we can serve as a new hub for animal rescue in a region committed to zero euthanasia for pets."

Hiroshima has a long-standing reputation for fostering animal welfare, and ANELLACAFE aims to strengthen this by connecting more people with rescue animals through their heartwarming approach to pet companionship. They strive to cultivate a community where animals and humans coexist harmoniously, forging deeper connections.
