Given the hotel’s remote location, prestige and price to match, I’d be remiss if I didn’t show what they served for breakfast. Such a complete Japanese spread, and yes, there is rice cooking in the small pot towards the back.

Dinner at the Oldest (Running) Hotel in the World

Forgot to post this grand multi-course dinner during my stay at the Keiunkan. It’s a whole bounty of winter produce. With a private dining room overlooking the same river and a dedicated waiter (really a butler? pretty sure she was assigned to us throughout our stay) going through each dish, the dining experience was serene and classy. Then again, you’d have high expectations when the hotel costs $1000 a night.

P.S. Anyone notice the paper “face mask case”?

I don’t normally show off my accommodation, but when it’s literally the oldest running hotel in the world, I had to document the stay.
