Mar 5, 2009: Hoshi Ryokan
Hoshi Ryokan is the oldest business in the world.
No, that's the oldest profession, this is the oldest business... and the oldest hotel. Quote:
Wow, 46 generations! I wonder how many spawn were murdered for attempting to run away and join the circus? Of course being a traditional hotel in Japan, they must have bathing, separate indoors and mixed outdoors, in this case. Quote:
That might not set well with some westerners. Link

And the hotel is as good as the day it was built, thanks to the humongous freezer where it is kept.
