It is the oldest still running family business in the world.This ryokan (a traditional japanese style hotel) was built over a natural hot spring in Awazu in central Japan in the year 718. Until 2011, it held the record for being the oldest hotel in the world. Houshi Ryokan has been visited by the Japanese Imperial Family and countless great artists over the centuries.
