The Japanese hot spring inn has been welcoming guests since 705 AD.
It seems that the Japanese business is well placed to withstand the test of time, or perhaps the answer lies in the hot springs' healing waters.The 37-room inn sits at the foot of the Akaishi Mountains, also known as the Southern Japanese Alps, approximately 87 miles from Mount Fuji. Since it opened its doors 1,316 years ago, all of the inn's hot water has come directly from the local Hakuho Springs.
WiFi was added to the inn in 2019, so now guests can access the internet as they wish. However, most guests will most likely be keen to place their devices aside for their stay so as to fully embrace the relaxing atmosphere, take in the striking views, and soak all their aches and pains away in the hot spring baths. In simple terms, the first"hotels" were a place for weary travelers and wanderers to rest their heads, eat a warm meal, and sit around a hot fire.
thermal baths designed for rest and recuperation, and the Romans took this further with thermal baths in England, Switzerland, and the Middle East.Japanese Ryokan — the category under which the Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan falls under, began in the 8th century, but reached their peak of popularity in the 17th century, as trade increased between the capital city of Edo and Kyoto’s Imperial Palace. Many were built along the Tokaido highway that links the two and became popular among traders, officials, and samurai using the route.In Europe, in later medieval times, cloisters and abbeys often offered accommodation for itinerant travelers and pilgrims along main routes.
Later on, guesthouses and inns gained popularity around the world as places for travelers to stay, where food and beds were offered mostly to merchants and tradespeople along main thoroughfares.
