ANELLA Group Inc. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Daiki Ito), operator of the shelter-function rescue dog and cat interaction cafe “ANELLA CAFE,” will open “ANELLA CAFE Minami-Urawa” on Friday, May 15, 2026. The new location will be the company’s third store opening this month and its 29th store nationwide. The Minami-Urawa store is located on the east side of Minami-Urawa Station, about a three-minute walk from the station. Like most other ANELLA CAFE locations, excluding some stores, it will be home to both dogs and cats. Beyond the entrance is the dog area. ANELLA CAFE’s concept is “Classic Hawaiian.” The interior is based on the brand color “Anella Blue,” evoking a clear sky, and offers a relaxed atmosphere with Hawaiian music. A large wall featuring the brand character “ANELLA-kun” is also popular as a photo spot. The cat area is located in the room next to the dog area, separated by a door. The walls feature natural wood-style cat steps that pair well with Anella Blue, allowing visitors to enjoy watching the cats exercise energetically.
