The World's Oldest Hotel

The oldest continually-operating business in the world is the Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, a hotel in Japan. That doesn't mean it hasn't changed. Or changed ownership. And the title itself is open to interpretation. It all depends on how you define your terms. This hotel was once the oldest continually-operated family business in the world, but the current owner was pretty much adopted into it, if you aren't hung up on legal terms. Tom Scott had the opportunity to stay at this lovely place and explore its history.
