First-time guests are asked to fill out a consultation sheet. The more detail you can provide, the more smoothly we can tailor your treatment.

To let you relax and enjoy your tea after the session, we usually take care of payment at the beginning.

We provide long-sleeved and long-pants loungewear for you to change into.
Of course, there is no extra charge – please feel free to use it.

If you prefer not to change, you are also welcome to receive treatment in your own clothing.

Please enjoy a cup of genmaicha (Japanese green tea blended with roasted brown rice). Many guests say it tastes especially good after treatment.
If you make your next reservation before leaving, we will add a 5-minute optional service free of charge.
After seeing you off, your therapist always records the details of your session on your chart, and uses this to plan for your next visit.
In other words, as soon as you leave, we are already preparing to make your next treatment as effective as possible.

While you lie face down and relax, we apply oil to the soles of your feet and work on them thoroughly.
Rather than a painful, punishing style, we aim to naturally soften the muscles, improve circulation and gently wash away the day’s fatigue.
At the same time, we use firm, satisfying pressure so that you feel that it is really “working”.
This is not reflexology, so we do not use the “reflex zone” concept.

After the feet, we encourage blood flow and lymph back toward the center of the body through the calves.

Using firm pressure with the fingers and palms fully in contact, we create a melting, deeply relaxing sensation while at the same time improving overall circulation.

Depending on your consultation, the flow may vary, but in most cases (except for maternity guests) we begin with you lying face down.
By applying steady, vertical pressure using body weight, we can work deeply without damaging the muscles.
This position is especially effective for the back, lower back and legs.

We often include side-lying work as well. Resting against a body pillow, you can relax while we deliver effective pressure in this position.
This approach is especially good for working into the shoulders and neck.

We perform many stretches while you are lying on your side.
We gently and slowly expand your range of motion in a way that you cannot easily achieve on your own.
In this photo, we are twisting the lower back – a very popular stretch that lets you really feel the lumbar muscles elongate.

In many cases, we finish the session with you lying on your back.
We may include facial work and neck stretches.
Afterwards, we gently help you sit up on the bed and finish with light stretching and very gentle percussion on the shoulders to “wake up” the muscles and conclude the session.
