Profile
[Association Tokyo Kagurazaka Kumiai]
There are many shrines and temples in the Kagurazaka area, including Bishamonten, and since the early Meiji period, it has flourished as the world of the geisha. In 1973, the organization was reorganized from Ushigome Sangyo-kai, the predecessor of our union, to 'Tokyo Kagurazaka Kumiai,' which consists of a geisha association and a restaurant association, and continues to this day. At present, it is composed of 4 members of the Ryotei Association and 18 members of the Geisha Association.
