Asakusa Diary - The Staff Blog

Thanks, Yuri, for the announcement.

Yes, I've just left Sakura Hostel Asakusa and moved to one of its sister hotels to work for them as their manager.

It's been 4 years since I met Yuri, Tomoe, Tsuyoshi and Naoto. They came and joined me while there was only an uncompleted building still under construction. The team got together to open the hostel. Other guys joined us later one by one.

Imagine how exciting it is to creat something new from scratch! That's been an incredibly precious experience and will have a profond influence on my future life.

This hostel is my home. I've been always feeling as if I were welcoming our guests to my own home. I don't know how much I can do at the new place, but I promise that I'll create another lovely "second home" to Tokyo-lovers.

Thank you, Yuri, Tomoe, Tsuyoshi, Naoto, Suga-san, Koyama-san, Egashira-san, and (sorry, can't write all your names) all the other people who've worked with me and all the guests who've stayed with us and brought me lots of fun and joy. Please keep helping this little girl challenge herself, please please♪

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

I love you guys all. Mata-ne!
