Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan (Japanese: 西山温泉慶雲館)[1] is an onsen—a Japanese hot spring spa—in the Yamanashi Prefecture. Founded in 705 by Fujiwara Mahito, it is a prime example of shinise ("long-established business") and perhaps the oldest independent company in operation following the acquisition of construction company Kongō Gumi in 2006.
In 2011, the Keiunkan was recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest hotel in the world[2][3] despite the hotel facilities on site being only a few decades old.[4]
