This is correct – Eitaro is based in Omori, not Asakusa. For those looking for more info, here’s a recent article: http://japandailypress.com/japans-only-male-geisha-who-performs-as-a-female-follows-his-mothers-footsteps-0619470

^ This. There seems to be a problem with people using fiction as fact. I read Iwasaki Mineko’s (the geisha Arthur Golden interviewed for his book) autobiography. It’s really interesting and worth a read.

Actually, Eitaro and Matsunoya are one of the last remaining Oimachi (Shinagawa-ku) okiya. So great to see how the siblings have kept things together!

that’s very interesting. I’ve always wanted to work in a cafe in Japan, but becoming a geisha sounds more interesting. I hope they stay around for a while.
