Houshi (2015) This Japanese Inn Has Been Open For 1,300 Years

I came across this video the other day and thought it be cool to share. It's a short and beautifully shot.

Houshi Ryokan was founded around 1,300 years ago and it has always been managed by the same family since then.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.
