The Oldest Hotel and Company in the World

Posted by Queuebot in Travel & Places on March 1, 2009 at 1:28 pm


The Hoshi Ryokan hotel, located in Ishikawa prefecture Japan, has the dual distinction of being the oldest company and hotel in the world still operating today.  It was founded in the year 717 A.D. and is still operated by the same family over 40 generations later! 

One night’s stay will cost you $350 with breakfast and dinner included, and as this is a traditional style ryokan, there are many cultural activities to witness.
