Located in Hakodate's Hanazono district, ANELLA CAFE Hakodate opened in November 2025 as a unique rescue adoption facility allowing visitors to bring their own pets for socialization. Just a 1-minute walk from Inari Shrine bus stop and 14 minutes by car from Fukihori Station on the Yunokawa Line, the location reaches both casual visitors and dedicated animal lovers. The facility stands out among rescue cafes for permitting owned-pet integration with rescue animals—creating an indoor social space where rescue animals and visitors' pets interact under staff supervision. This innovative approach enriches rescue animal socialization while providing visitors' own pets meaningful play opportunities.
The rescue animals at ANELLA CAFE Hakodate captivate visitors with their exceptional affection and well-adjusted temperament. Notably, visitors consistently report that cats are more naturally affectionate than dogs—an unusual pattern highlighting the facility's success in socializing rescue felines. Dogs display remarkable trust and affection, with staff proactively placing them on visitors' laps to facilitate close bonding and petting. One particularly beloved resident, Polinky (estimated age 5), is a Miniature Dachshund with short or naturally curved front legs, creating an adorably distinctive waddle that captures hearts. His cool demeanor and free-spirited personality embody the individuality of rescue animals, making him a visitor favorite. Visitors note with appreciation that staff members—particularly one caring staff member—consistently receive close attention from rescue animals; dogs eagerly wait by the door when staff enter break rooms, demonstrating the deep bonds formed through daily loving care. Children experience safe, peaceful interaction with calm, gentle animals. Staff members change rescue dog diapers promptly when needed, demonstrating genuine investment in animal comfort and dignity despite the expense. The facility is consistently described as clean and well-maintained. Multiple reviewers emphasize that entry fees directly support rescue animal care, making visits feel meaningful contributions to the mission.
ANELLA CAFE Hakodate welcomes visitors from 12:00–18:30 on weekdays and 11:00–18:30 on weekends, with irregular closures. Entry fees are ¥1,000 for 30 minutes (general admission), with ¥400 for each additional 15-minute extension. Children and seniors receive reduced pricing at ¥500 for 30 minutes. Beverages are complimentary. The facility accepts all major payment methods: credit cards (VISA, Mastercard, JCB, AMEX, Diners), IC transit cards (Suica, etc.), and QR code systems (PayPay). Professional grooming services and employment support programming are available. Onsite parking accommodates visitors. The unique opportunity to bring owned pets for supervised interaction with rescue animals distinguishes this location from typical animal cafes, creating enrichment opportunities and relationship-building for both rescue and visiting animals. Staff enthusiasm and genuine care for animal welfare shine through visitor interactions, making the space ideal for those considering rescue adoption or seeking to support rescue missions through their visits.
