Dog Run & Cafe Ann no Jikan
Ann no Jikan is a dog run and cafe in Goso, on the edge of Saijo in Higashihiroshima, run by Ann no Ie, a private shelter that has rescued dogs and cats for around a decade and houses dozens of animals waiting for adoption. The cafe opens on the second and fourth Sunday of each month, from around midday into the afternoon. On those days visitors can have lunch, which must be reserved in advance, or cake and drinks, and spend time with the rescued cats in the cat room upstairs, while rescued dogs are outside. Many of the cats are up for adoption, so the line-up changes as they find homes, and the cafe doubles as a place to meet animals before adopting. Dog owners can use the dog run at weekends and on holidays, and members can use it at any time.
