The Nectarine brothel in Yokohama was a famous house of prostitution also known as No.9 or Jimpuro. Until the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, Jimpuro was one of the top brothels of the city. It was originally opened in 1872 in Yokohamas Takashima-cho. In 1882, Jimpuro moved to the less visible area of Eiraku-cho. A branch specifically for foreigners was opened at the red-light district of Kanagawas Nanaken-machi. The brothel was called No. 9, because this was Jimpuros original address in Takashima-cho.
