◼︎Comment from KabuK Style CEO Kenji Sunada HafH, which celebrated its third year since its launch in April 2019, has refreshed its brand message and overall website design, revised its plans, and implemented new features to make travel even more accessible and enjoyable for our users.
At HafH, we value the idea that “where the wind and soil meet, new culture is born,” and have adopted an earthy color scheme that evokes nature to offer a service that enables travelers to find their home away from home. By refreshing our tone to a brighter one, we hope to blow away the feeling of stagnation in the world and provide our users with a sense of comfort while they travel. We will continue to cherish HafH’s belief in diversity and tolerance for various values, and provide even more convenient and affordable “travel subscriptions” in the future.
While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly reduced travel, we have started to see signs of a way out of the dark tunnel. We believe that the day when we can enjoy travel again and add color to our lives will come back as soon as possible, and we will continue to strive towards that goal.
