In the winter of 1180 (Jisho 4) at the end of the Heian period, at Takanawa Castle, located in the middle of the Seto Inland Sea, which was the sphere of influence of the Taira clan, Kono Michikiyo responded to Yoritomo and raised an army against the Taira clan. Due to his meritorious communication in the Genpei War, he established a sphere of influence in almost all of eastern Nakayo, Iyo Province, centered on Kono District, Kazahaya County. However, in the Jokyu Incident of 1221 (Jokyu 3), many of the Kono clan sided with the retired Emperor Gotoba and marched to Yamashiro Province, but were defeated, most of their territories were confiscated, and they were in a desperate situation. It was Michiari who got the family back on its feet. He challenged the Mongol invasion, fought bravely by charging into enemy ships in Hakata Bay, and recovered his former territory. He is said to be the "founder of the Kono clan's revival."

Such restaurants have an image of "no first-time customers" and "price is up to you," so many people who wanted to experience geisha entertainment may have been hesitant to take the plunge. With the aim of protecting the traditional culture of Odawara and Hakone and conveying its charm, a "Traditional Culture Experience Plan" has been created at Kaiseki Oshimizu in Suzuhiro Kamaboko no Sato, where you can experience geisha dancing and geisha play while dining.
