Hōshi (法師) is a ryokan (Japanese traditional inn) founded in 718 in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. It has been owned and managed by the Hoshi family for forty-six generations[1] and was thought to be the oldest operating hotel in the world until Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, founded in 705, claimed that title.[2] It is located in Awazu Onsen, Komatsu, Ishikawa. However, it remains the record-holder of the world's oldest, continually-run family business.[3]
