*''Japanese'': 浪花講 ''(Naniwa kô)''
''Naniwa kô'' were [[Edo period]] membership organizations that helped members organize trips. For example, they maintained relationships with ''[[hatagoya]]'' and other lodgings for which they could then vouch for the quality, comfort, and legitimacy. Associated inns hung signboards with the names of the various ''kô'' outside their entrances, marking them as credible establishments approved by the ''kô''.
An Osaka man named Matsuya Gensuke is credited with the idea, and with establishing the first such group. Numerous others, with names such as ''Azuma kô'' and ''Santo kô'', appeared soon afterward.
