With a large number of new hotels being built in Japan in advance of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, it is getting harder for Japan’s older hotels to stand out from the crowd. To reach out to travelers who prefer the charm of historical hotels, nine of Japan’s pre-World War II hotels have formed an association in order to show their appeal as Japan’s most Classical Hotels. The hotels included in this association have been carefully picked based on various criteria, one of them being that the exterior of the hotel must have kept its original look.
Below is the full list of the 9 hotels included in the Japan Classical Hotel Association:
創業 1873年 / Established in 1873
創業 1878年 / Founded in 1878
創業 1894年 / Founded in 1894
創業 1915年 / Opened in 1915
創業 1909年 / Founded in 1909
開業 1927年 / Opened in 1927
開業 1934年 / Opening in 1934
創業 1935年 / Established in 1935
開業 1936年 / Founded in 1936
