Kasumi Kaikan, Noble association in Chiyoda-ku, Japan
Kasumi Kaikan is a nobility association in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, providing rooms for gatherings and social events. The club facilities occupy three floors in the Kasumigaseki Building, a prominent tower near government offices in the capital
The association was founded in June 1874 as Kazoku Kaikan to bring together members of Japan's hereditary peerage system. After World War II, it adopted the name Kasumi Kaikan in 1947 following constitutional reforms that abolished the nobility
The organization takes its name from the character „kasumi
The club rooms are located on the 34th floor of the Kasumigaseki Building in the heart of the government district. Access is restricted to members of the association, so visits by the general public are not possible
The association owns the land beneath the Kasumigaseki Building, making it one of the largest private landowners in central Tokyo. This position gives it an unusual economic weight despite its social and historical focus
