ANELLA Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Daiki Ito) will open the "ANELLA CAFE Hamamatsu Chuo Store," a welfare-oriented protected dog and cat interaction cafe, on Thursday, May 7, 2026.
This will be the 28th store nationwide and the 4th store in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is one of the 20 government-designated cities in Japan and boasts the largest population in Shizuoka Prefecture.
It is a thriving industrial city with many global manufacturers of musical instruments and vehicles, yet it is also a gourmet city loved by many for its eels and gyoza, and an attractive city with rich nature including lakes, seas, and mountains.
The Hamamatsu Chuo store is located in such a convenient location in Hamamatsu City, about a 10-minute walk from Hamamatsu Station, a stop on the Tokaido Shinkansen.
"ANELLA" means "angel" in Hawaiian. The interior of ANELLA CAFE, based on the brand color "Anella Blue" reminiscent of a clear sky, is designed with a classic Hawaiian image, creating a very relaxing space with gentle Hawaiian music.
**Dog Area**
ANELLA CAFE, with some exceptions, is a relatively rare interaction cafe that has both protected dogs and protected cats.
The Hamamatsu Chuo store also has both dogs and cats, and like other stores, the protected dog area and protected cat area are separated, making it a cafe that can be enjoyed by those who love both dogs and cats, as well as those who prefer dogs or cats.
**Cat Area**
From May 7th (Thursday) to 10th (Sunday), as an opening campaign, everyone can enjoy 30 minutes of free admission.
Please take this opportunity to visit ANELLA CAFE Hamamatsu Chuo store.
**What is "ANELLA CAFE"?**
ANELLA CAFE is not just a protected dog and cat interaction cafe.
It also functions as a "Type B employment support facility," providing a place for people with disabilities to gain practical experience through caring for protected dogs and cats and customer service, aiming for a step-up towards social participation.
We provide a space where customers seeking healing from animals, protected dogs and cats waiting for their forever families, and all working staff can smile.
**Comment from Representative Director Daiki Ito**
"ANELLA CAFE Hamamatsu Chuo Store" will be the 4th store in Shizuoka Prefecture.
I am very pleased that we have been able to expand the circle of ANELLA again in Hamamatsu City, a city of manufacturing and music.
We aim for it to be a place where people can easily stop by in their daily lives in attractive Hamamatsu, and naturally experience encounters with protected dogs and cats.
"~Saving one animal may not change the world, but it will change that one animal's world forever~"
What we value is creating a place where the three parties—protected dogs and cats, customers, and staff—can be happy in their own way.
This is not just a cafe, nor is it just a welfare facility.
For protected dogs and cats, it is a safe home, and for people with disabilities, it is a "place of challenge" where they can connect with society through animal care and work with pride.
To create a society where humans and animals coexist naturally.
We intend to continue building up our challenges one by one.
