Pub that never closes: It has been open since the Tang Dynasty. 13 16 is certified by Guinness World Records.

Ten years shows that going to Qiu Lai in spring, a hundred years can prove birth and death, a thousand years can lament the rise and fall of the dynasty, and a thousand years can reverse Gankun. From ancient times to the present, many things have changed in the long river of time. However, in a valley in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, there is the oldest hotel in the world-Qingyun Pavilion at Xishan Hot Spring in Jiazhou.

It was opened in 705 AD, the year of China's "Dragon Coup", when Empress Wu Zetian abdicated, which coincided with the second year of Japanese Emperor Qingyun, hence the name of the pub. After 52 generations of inheritance, it has a history of 13 16 years since its opening in the Tang Dynasty, and has been certified as "the oldest homestay in the world" by Guinness World Records!

Then the question is, why can Qingyun Pavilion continue to operate for thousands of years? Let's explore the mystery together.

Qingyun Pavilion is located in the depths of southern alps, Japan, at the source of Fuji River, not far from the western edge of the Great Rift Valley, which divides the Japanese archipelago into two. Unique scenery. People can share each other's food here and enjoy the beautiful scenery while taking a bath. In addition, the number of hot springs in the museum is also the highest in the world! It is worth mentioning that the hotel's hot spring water can be directly drunk and has the effect of treating gastrointestinal diseases. I'm afraid there is only one hot spring to drink in Japan.

It is said that there are many legends circulating in Japanese Qingyun Pavilion: In 758 AD, the female emperor Kejsarinnan Koken abdicated from the power struggle, and has been ill ever since. One day, she dreamed that an old man with a white beard told her, "In the deep mountains, there is a spiritual spring that can cure all diseases." The direction indicated is Qingyun Pavilion. The next day, Kejsarinnan Koken and his party arrived in Yamanashi Prefecture and rested in Qingyun Pavilion. As a result, it only took 20 days to fully recover. Qingyun Pavilion's reputation as a "spiritual spring" spread like wildfire. Since then, legends about Takeda Shingen, Tokugawa Ieyasu and other military commanders who have a special liking for this place have been heard endlessly, and Qingyun Pavilion has gained a good reputation in Japan.

Of course, the hotel's enduring success is also attributed to the intimate hospitality. For example, for regular customers, they will make dishes that cater to their tastes and send gifts to their guests every anniversary. What's more commendable is that Qingyun Pavilion is a "family-style" enterprise, passed down from generation to generation from boss to employee. For these staff, they work hard not for the boss, but to "protect the hotel".

Times have changed, society is developing and times are progressing. Qingyun Tavern is also constantly embracing changes, taking the initiative to innovate and upgrading into a grand hotel integrating eating, living and playing. Witnessed the historical changes from ancient times to the present and received countless diners from ancient times to the present. In China's words, it can be said that "people don't see Gu Yue today, but they did as the ancients did this month"!
