Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, a resort located not far from Mount Fuji, Japan, surprises many as it has been operating for over 1,300 years. It opened its doors in 705 AD.
In 705, Fujiwara Mahito established the hotel – then an inn, and since then, his family has become experts in the lodging industry.
