2. Hoshi Ryokan, Japan
Since 718
Japan stands out even couple of centuries ahead of Europe for their care and conservation of the tradition and the past. Also, an important factor here is heredity, which helped their business survive for centuries; this is the case with the Hoshi Ryokan Hotel as well, which was run by the same family for 1300 years through 48 generations of Hoshi family. The capacity is 450 persons, who can enjoy the simplicity of Japanese interior, beautiful gardens and spas, while enjoying traditional Japanese cuisine.
