### A Dog Cafe to Spend Time with Large Dogs in Chiba
PawsFan is a reservation-only dog cafe located in Yokoto-cho, Hanamigawa-ku, Chiba City, where visitors can interact with large dogs.
The cafe features a variety of unique large dogs, including Golden Retrievers, Goldendoodles, Great Pyrenees, Newfoundlands, and Siberian Huskies.
Located just a 5-minute walk from Keisei Owada Station, it attracts customers from Chiba City, the Yachiyo area, and all over the country who look forward to spending time with large dogs.

### The Puppy Resident Dogs Have Grown Significantly

Many customers have visited regularly to watch them grow, and for PawsFan, this past year has been one where the dogs and customers have shared time together.
