Akio Hirao reports : I have organized 45th anniversary of WSO in Japan on Dec 13,2015. We opened WSO in Tokyo in 1970. We operated the office until 1998 when Aoki sold Westin to Starwood. 30 members in 70s,80s,90s have attended the reception at Westin Tokyo. One thing I was very impressed is the comments from one minute speech from participants. They all said they have enjoyed working at Westin very much and they are very proud they have been associated with Westin. They are the one who made a great contribution to the awarenes of Westin brand in Japan before we opened Westin Tokyo and other Wesin in Japan. I hope you will enjoy seeing the great happy team faces.
