There are many shrines and temples such as Bishamonten in the vicinity of Kagurazaka, and it has prospered as a Karyukai since the early Meiji era for people who visit it. In 1973, the organization of the Ushigome Sangyokai, the predecessor of this association, was changed to the “Tokyo Kagurazaka Association,” which consists of a geisha association and a restaurant association, and continues to this day. Currently, it is composed of 3 restaurant association members and 16 geisha union members.
