The Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan in
Yamanashi, Japan, holds the Guinness World Record for being the
oldest hotel in the world. The hot-spring hotel sits at the foot of the
stunning Akaishi Mountains and has been in operation since it was founded
by Fujiwara Mahito in
705 A.D. Since then, it’s been in the hands of some 52 generations of the same
family for more than 1,300 years.
Keiunkan has 35 rooms. All guest rooms are designed with great care for Japanese tradition.The building frame is made of strong steel bars, but the interior is a pure Japanese-style room that values the taste of wood.
All rooms have baths with hot springs.

That is amazing and such a beautiful place.
begun and maintained by the same family? That is dedication.
Must have been redone several times as I do believe steel was not around in 705AD. Have a wonderful weekend. Peace
