Discover ANELLA CAFE Minami-Urawa

On May 15, 2026, ANELLA Group will open the doors to its latest location, ANELLA CAFE Minami-Urawa. This café is more than just a spot to grab a drink; it features adoptable dogs and cats, offering visitors the chance to interact with these adorable pets in a cozy, Hawaiian-themed atmosphere.

The ANELLA CAFE chain, known for its dedication to animal welfare, is committed to finding loving homes for rescued pets. The Minami-Urawa location will be the third café to open this month and the twenty-ninth across Japan. Situated a mere three-minute walk from Minami-Urawa Station's East exit, this café is easily accessible and ready to welcome animal lovers.

Within the café, guests will first encounter the dog area, designed to create a welcoming and relaxed environment. The décor follows the 'Classic Hawaiian' concept, predominantly featuring the signature color 'ANELA Blue', which conjures images of clear skies. Visitors can enjoy the soothing sounds of Hawaiian music as they unwind in this tranquil space.

A standout feature of the café is the vibrant wall art showcasing ANELLA's mascot, ANELLA-kun, which has become a popular photo spot among fans. Adjacent to the dog area is the separate cat room. This area includes natural wood-themed cat steps that allow the felines to play and exercise, creating an engaging viewing experience for guests. Additionally, a large cat wheel offers an exciting way for the cats to stay active, while various toys, including feather wands, encourage playful interactions between visitors and kitties.

ANELLA CAFE invites patrons not only to enjoy their time with the animals but also to consider adopting one of the pets. Everyone is welcome, whether your intention is simply to relax at the café or to find your future furry family member. To celebrate the grand opening, the café will offer a special promotion where patrons can enjoy the first 30 minutes free of charge from May 15 to 16, 2026.

Philosophy Behind ANELLA CAFE

The philosophy behind ANELLA CAFE revolves around the idea of changing the world for one animal at a time. They believe that while saving a single animal may not change the world, it could transform that animal's entire life. ANELLA CAFE aims to raise awareness about rescue animals and foster meaningful connections between them and potential adopters. Each meeting brings these pets closer to regaining trust in humans.

Not only does ANELLA CAFE focus on finding forever homes for rescues, but it is also committed to being a place of healing. They operate as a Supported Employment B-Type facility, providing job training opportunities for individuals with disabilities. This initiative enables them to care for the animals and contribute to the café’s operations while building a sense of community.

Their mission is to offer an alternative to traditional pet stores, emphasizing the importance of adopting animals in need rather than purchasing them. Each connection forged through adoption enriches the lives of all involved, and ANELLA CAFE hopes to broaden this movement across Japan.

A Unique Approach to Job Training

ANELLA CAFE serves a dual purpose; it is a casual café while actively engaging in community support through employment opportunities. Their work training programs allow individuals with disabilities to gain practical experience in handling animals and serving customers. The therapeutic qualities of interacting with animals have positive effects on both clients and animals alike, helping foster connections and pride in their work.

Through these endeavors, ANELLA seeks to create a society where both people and animals can coexist harmoniously.

Message from CEO Daiki Ito

According to ANELLA Group CEO Daiki Ito, “ANELLA CAFE Minami-Urawa is our second establishment in Saitama Prefecture, following our success in Tanizuka. This area is known throughout Japan for its strong commitment to animal welfare and its proactive efforts to reduce euthanasia.” For Ito, expanding ANELLA's mission in this area is a fulfilling step toward fostering a culture of compassion for all beings.

“Rather than merely being a shelter, a welfare initiative, or a café chain, we envision a world where kindness towards both humans and animals is ingrained in our social foundation,” Ito expressed. This passion drives ANELLA to keep striving for positive change, starting from Minami-Urawa and spreading compassion throughout Japan.
