Goraku-so, a former housing complex in Yokohama, was built in 1932 by a Tokyo merchant for his daughter, but after the Pacific War, it became the first building on the red line for American soldiers. The fact that the building was built by a Tokyo merchant for his daughter in 1932 became the first red-light district for U.S. soldiers after the Pacific War.
