In June 2022, parent corporation Imuraya announced that the last active Anna Miller's restaurant in Japan, located in Takanawa, would close on August 31, 2022. The restaurant, which opened in 1983, was the 11th of 25 restaurants in the chain.[4] As a result of the closure, the restaurant in Hawaii now serves as the last Anna Miller’s location in the world.[5]
