The World's Oldest Hotel Has Been in the Same Family for 52 Generations.



The Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan spa hotel was opened in 705 AD, and in 2011 it was declared the oldest hotel in the world by Guinness World Records (currently 1316 years old).

The hotel has been owned and operated by the same family for 52 generations since its inception.

As the generations went by, the hotel was slowly modernized but retained its nature and tradition.

With the modernization of the hotel, the rooms were equipped with all the modern amenities you could ask for without sacrificing the calm and relaxing atmosphere.

The hotel is nestled in the mountains in a remote valley.

It offers views of nature but is several hours drive from the nearest attraction.

In the outdoor baths, guests can enjoy the healing properties of the hot spring water while admiring the stunning views around them.

Almost everything in the hotel is run with the help of the hot springs.

At the entrance, there's even a water fountain fed by the springs.

Some of the rooms have access to a small private pool.

There's also a sauna for those who want to take a break from the water.

Before entering the communal baths, guests will have to wash using the showers above.

They can sit on the stools and use the buckets.

Functional since 705AD¿

It's sad Nigeria has a lot of tourism potential but lacks one particular culture to make it work: Maintenance culture!

In the chronological and lexicographical arrangement of things in this country, the word Renovation and Maintenance always comes last. This is a popular knowledge that even the rooftop of the House of Assembly sparogatively knows.

Nigeria could have been on the list of Tourism nations, but sadly, the only sugar that brought the ants rushing has died in Ikotun.

Vanity hotels

Good maintenance

I like Japan for the cultural heritage as regards their ancient buildings and their architecture,but I don't believe this very building has been around since 795AD. Any proof to that effect?

Just imagine having a business that has lasted for 52 generations for over 1k+ years

This what we mean by preservation, when a sane being gives birth to sane children, things will keep on moving beautifully.
