Shinise

Founded 705, the Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan is the world's oldest hotel and one of Japan's oldest companies.

In Japan, shinise (老舗, lit. 'old shop(s)') are long-established businesses that have been in operation for a long time, at least for a hundred years.^[1] Some are older than a thousand years. Japan has significantly more very old businesses than other countries, and they and their products enjoy a particular prestige in Japan.
