In my testing, Excel 2016, I can hide a workbook by selecting View->Hide. I can 
do that even if it is the only workbook open. The XML is in workbook.xml and 
looks like this:

<bookViews>
   <workbookView windowHeight="9600" windowWidth="17595" yWindow="255" 
xWindow="225" visibility="hidden"/>
</bookViews>

I can close out of Excel with the only workbook hidden, and it allows me to 
save it as hidden. When I re-open that workbook, it starts out hidden.

Yudai Yamaguchi-san,

How are you planning on using workbook visibility?

My understanding of workbook visibility, using Excel 2013 (no longer a multiple 
document interface) is that at least one workbook view must be visible (Excel 
disallows saving an all-hidden workbook), and each sheet defines a sheetviews 
list with one entry per workbook view.

There are quite a few gotchas to getting book views working in POI without 
creating xlsx files that Excel will declare are corrupt.

If your use case is a workbook that already contains multiple workbook views 
and you need to change the visibility of the first workbook view, then we can 
skip adding and removing workbook views to a workbook.
Otherwise, some research is needed to implement the dependent features before 
implementing boolean isHidden(int) and void setHidden(int, boolean), or 
possibly Enum WorbookViewVisibility { visible, hidden, very_hidden }.
