It was hot and humid July, year 2016, the WISE OWL HOSTELS TOKYO started its business with handful of opening members.

Vivi was one of them, and had dedicated herself for years to make this hostel both stylish and accommodating. No one will argue that she was the most passionate person in this hostel.

Now, Vivi is getting ready to set for a sail for a new journey, and all of our staff members held a colorful farewell party.

We had various arrange of delicious food. Our staff REI who is now studying Indonesia, prepared Nasi Goreng, an Indonesian traditional fried rice with exotic but tasty spices, which was ranked in the most delicious food in the world by CNN. And Tech from Korea brought Kimchi Jjigae, a Korean traditional kimchi stew with pork.

Staff from WISE OWL HOSTEL SHIBUYA and Sound & Bar HOWL, and even a former staff who already no longer works with us also joined this party and had a blast. Delicious Champagne and beer, authentic dishes, and the best co-workers. No one can hope for more.

Even though Vivi is no longer working with us, she is always going to be one of our staff member. Indeed, her loss is huge but her passion and talents would remain as a heart of WISE OWL HOSTELS. We need next Vivi. We need you to be.
