“What you need is a mediocre amount of sleep.It should be a good, short sleep from an exhausting, enriched experience. No time for sleep. Experience Tokyo.Whether night or day, heighten your sensibilitiesThat is how a journey should be” (directly derived from official webpage) Under this motto, WISE OWL HOSTELS began its journey back in 2016 with its first hostel, WISE OWL HOSTELS TOKYO opened in Hatchobori.
