The Japanese Family That Runs a 1,300-Year-Old Hotel

Houshi Ryokan, a traditional japanese style hotel, was founded around 1,300 years ago and it has always been managed by the same family since then. This documentary directed by German photographer Fritz Schumann is about the family that has  passed down the Houshi Ryokan from generation to generation. Founded in 718, the hotel is the oldest still operating family-run business in the world.
