Looks like hospitality and foodservice make up the majority of the list, while very old construction companies are actually relatively rare.
- txdv 2y agoConstruction companies are very volatile but building temples is probably a steady business model
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoJapanese temples are rebuilt every 20-30 years, so steady business.
- numpad0 2y agoNot all temples, only richest ones. Lots of them are centuries old.
- noufalibrahim 2y agoInteresting how Japan and Germany dominate that list.
- perlgeek 2y agoCould be an artifact of record keeping culture, combined with eagerness to contribute to Wikipedia.
- severak_cz 2y agoI like how all Czech republic entries in this list are breweries (except for one hotel). There are some priorities of our people!
- defrost 2y agoPeople who enjoy old European breweries may also enjoy The Drawing of the Dark https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/TheDrawingOfTheDark https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/TheDrawing... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drawing_of_the_Dark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drawing_of_the_Dark
