About My Work
I have worked in various customer service and hospitality roles. Through those experiences I came to feel great joy in being of service to others, and that led me to a job where I can not only “welcome” guests, but also truly “relax and heal” them.

The moments when guests say “I feel so much better” with a smile are what make me happiest. I use warm, steady pressure with relaxed shoulders so that I can deliver a real sense of relief, always with care and intention.
Interests
I love “stories” in all forms – movies, manga, anime, novels, games, comedy sketches and more. I especially enjoy thinking about the creator’s intentions and hidden hints woven into a work, and I tend to get deeply absorbed. Please feel free to share your favorite works with me.

KinoshitaKinoshita

About My Work
Hello, I’m Kinoshita. I may look slender, but I have warm, large hands (I’m left-handed, by the way) and well-trained thumbs from working at Nagomi. I use them to really get into your tight spots.

I always aim to deliver treatments and service that leave you feeling lighter in body and mind, and naturally bring a smile to your face.
Interests
I enjoy cycling, motorbikes, movies, reading, listening to music and playing guitar, as well as playing with dogs (and being played with by them!). I also love cooking – and eating.
And of course… beer! (^^)

IshikawaIshikawa

About My Work
I “like stiffness” – not having it myself, but working on it! I enjoy exploring what angle and depth of pressure will best release a tight area. When that matches the guest’s sensations and they feel good relief, it makes me truly happy.

I focus on creating an atmosphere where you can relax, forget about the time, and fully entrust your body, so that you can leave with a smile.
Interests
• Face and body observation (reading messages from moles, spots etc. to support overall wellness)
• Researching and practicing ways to improve circulation and reduce cold sensitivity

I try to enjoy the small everyday things – housework, sleep, meals, and movement – and live in a way that feels gentle and comfortable.

About My Work
In modern life, stress is complex and varied, and I feel it has become harder to keep our bodies and minds in good condition. I started this job because I want to help ease that stress and offer deep relaxation.

With the techniques I’ve learned at Nagomiya and my naturally warm hands, I hope to help release your fatigue and stiffness, and support your overall well-being.

About My Work
– With well-trained fingers, I’ll do my very best to release your stiffness –

I worked for over 20 years in international cooperation before deciding to devote the rest of my life to this field.

The turning point came when I was working in Fiji. A villager told me about pain in his neck, shoulders and arms, and when I massaged him, our relationship – and our connection with the village – suddenly improved from the next day.

I would be delighted if, through Nagomiya, more people – from overseas as well as Japan – can experience the uniquely Japanese spirit of “careful attention, hospitality, comfort and healing.”
Interests
Eastern medicine, cooking and eating foods from many countries, and collecting and wearing traditional clothing.

MoriyaMoriya

About My Work
In the past I’ve worked as a piano tuner, carpenter, and in other trades that use tools and hands. I’ve always loved sports and once overused my body so much that I developed lower back pain – that experience eventually led me to this world of hands-on care.

Technique is of course important, but I also want to help you feel calm and at ease. If I can support that relaxed state, I’m very happy.
Interests
I like cycling at an easy pace, walking, looking at the sky, retro items, oriental medicine, stationery, and the works of Hiroshige Utagawa.
I’m aiming for a simple life, but somehow my belongings never seem to decrease.

About My Work
I strongly feel that keeping the body and mind in good condition is the foundation of quality of life.
While working as a yoga instructor, I wanted to support people’s health from another angle as well, which is what led me to become a therapist.

Just like after yoga, I want you to feel that refreshing lightness and the sense of flow returning where things were stagnant. My aim is to help you enjoy each day with a supple body and mind.
Interests
• Travel (especially abroad – I’ve visited many places in Asia, Europe and the US, though not in recent years)
• Good food (I save favorite restaurants on Google Maps; I especially love bread and curry)

• Chinese and oriental medicine
• Spending time in nature

About My Work
I previously worked at a chiropractic clinic, where many guests came in with muscle stiffness. Quite a few of them felt that “the deeper layers still feel tight.”
When I was considering changing jobs, I discovered the Deep Muscle Approach and felt it was exactly the technique that could meet those needs, which is why I made the move.

I hope to help you relax both body and mind, and support you in living in good health.

About My Work
I want Nagomi to be a place where you can relax both body and mind and feel truly comfortable. Seeing guests’ smiles and the “relieved” look on their faces after a session makes me very happy.

If I can help you reset and step forward again with a fresh feeling, even just a little, I feel my work has meaning.
Interests
I love movies, zoos (especially polar bears and capybaras), Buddhist statues, cafés, long train journeys, rakugo, piano, receiving massages, aromatherapy, incense, and lively gatherings.

About My Work
I previously worked as the proprietress of a Japanese restaurant and as a hula dance instructor.
My personal theme has always been food, beauty and health, and through this work I would now like to focus on “mental and physical well-being.”

I want to cherish the people and things close to me, and extend that care to many others. My goal is to become a therapist who can truly “convey my heart through technique.”
Interests
I love hula and sports like basketball.
In school I played basketball for six years under the same coach, received many awards such as MVP and top scorer, and even played on the prefectural representative team – I spent about 360 days a year running full power!

I also love cooking and Japanese sake, and have many friends to eat and drink with.

About My Work
I’ve had many different jobs, but there aren’t many where people directly say “thank you” to you.
I believe that if I’m not healthy in body and mind, I can’t help others relax, so I pay close attention to my own condition.

I’m grateful that you choose to spend your valuable time with us, and I’ll do my utmost so that you leave feeling “I’m really glad I came today.”
Interests
I’ve loved comedy since elementary school. There was a time I went to live comedy shows twice a week – that’s when I truly felt glad I moved from Sendai to Tokyo! (laughs)
Now I mainly watch manzai and sketches on YouTube. Please tell me about your favorite comedians!

FukuiFukui

About My Work
I previously worked at a bodywork salon.
Even when we say simply “physical discomfort,” the causes and sensations differ from person to person. I especially feel how closely the mind and body are connected.

Stress can show up as muscle tension, and fatigue can lead to feeling low. I value listening to the unique signals each guest’s body and heart send.
My hope is that you’ll leave with both body and mind feeling lighter, thinking “I can face tomorrow again,” and I’ll support you with that intention.
Interests
I like making things – from resin crafts to cooking – and also quietly enjoying puzzle games or riddles.
I’m more of an indoor type, but I also enjoy visiting aquariums, museums and planetariums.

Manager

About My Work
After doing this work for many years and meeting so many people, I’ve come to feel that even something as simple as “shoulder stiffness” is experienced very differently from person to person.
That’s why I value carefully observing posture, daily habits and even areas the guest may not notice themselves, and working little by little while listening through my hands.

I’m good at using broad contact with the palms and fingers, applying body weight to reach deep layers gently but firmly.
Being present at that moment when the body and breath soften is the greatest joy in my work.
Interests
It’s one of my quiet pleasures to “read” posture and movement patterns from how the muscles respond during treatment.
My hobby is drawing digital illustrations – I enjoy imagining bones and structure and drawing from imagination, which is similar to the “observation and understanding” I use in sessions.

I also like solving the hardest Sudoku puzzles as a way to reset and organize my mind. I hope to keep cherishing both “healing” and “curiosity” as I work with guests.

About My Work
I find it fun to think “How can I help this person feel better?” while working on stubborn stiffness. When those tough knots finally start to release, I feel genuinely excited.

Of course the work is physically demanding at times, but hearing “I’m so glad I came” or “I feel like I can do my best again tomorrow” means everything to me, and I treat each guest carefully with those words in mind.
Interests
I love listening to music, and on my days off I often “hide” in underground live houses. ♪
One day I’d love to experience a big rock festival in person.

About My Work
I’ve loved soccer since I was a student. Wanting to improve my own performance is what sparked my interest in caring for the body, and eventually led me to this work.
I hope to talk with each guest to find the most suitable treatment for them, and to create a space where you truly feel at ease.

If you can leave thinking “I’m glad I came,” that’s the greatest reward for me.

Soccer! I currently play futsal twice a week.
I also like cycling, mountain climbing, overseas travel, hot springs, beer, good food, coffee, cakes, billiards and movies.

About My Work
My ideal image of relaxation therapy is an “order-made service.”

Stronger pressure / softer pressure, full-body treatment / focusing deeply on just the tired areas, chatting during the session / enjoying quiet, peaceful time…

Each guest has different preferences, and even the same person may feel differently depending on the day. That’s why I value talking thoroughly with you at every visit and feeling through my hands as I work, so I can find the “best answer” for you on that particular day.
Interests
PC games, anime, manga and novels.
Sweets, and soups like potage or zuppa.
Animals such as tanuki, sea otters and Samoyeds.

About My Work
I put my heart into every single press so that healing energy can be felt with each contact, and I aim for treatments where “everything I touch is 100% effective.”

Having gone through pregnancy, childbirth and child-rearing myself, I especially want to support those going through the same stages.

Being good at massage as a child, massaging my track teammates after practice, and having experienced a herniated disc – all of these led me to this profession. I’m truly happy to have found this work.
Interests
My work, my family, making “universe” pendants with resin, aromatherapy and handmade aroma goods, marathons, evening drinks, cheese, reading about organizing and storage, knitting, real estate (daydreaming over floor plans), manga, travel, sea fish, and relaxing at home.

About My Work
I loved Nagomi even before I started working here. ♪
When I received aromatherapy here during my pregnancy, I was deeply moved and decided: “I want to do this wonderful work.” That decision is why I’m here now.

Within a limited amount of time, I want to ease both your tired body and mind and bring a smile to your face. There’s no end to what I need to learn, but every day of this work is pure joy.
And now that I work here, I love Nagomi even more. ♪
Interests
Eating delicious food, drinking good sake, hot springs and massage – I can’t resist them.
I also love BBQs, camping and free diving – I’ve always loved being out in nature.
People’s smiles are my favorite thing of all.
With the help of those around me, I’ve achieved things that didn’t suit me at all, like climbing Mt. Fuji and finishing the Honolulu Marathon. (laughs) Next on my list is skydiving!

About My Work
I work with the hope that our time together becomes a special “healing time” for as many people as possible.

If our sessions can be a chance for you to gently reconnect with your own body and mind, and to see them as something worth taking care of, I’d be very happy.

About My Work
When we’re busy, it’s easy to lose touch with ourselves, isn’t it?
I believe that time spent receiving treatment is precious “me time,” where you can focus only on your own senses.

If more guests can leave feeling “I’m glad I came – I want to take better care of myself and keep going,” then I’m very happy. I’ll do my best so that you can entrust your precious body to us with peace of mind.
Interests
My beloved cat, good food, hot springs, movies, manga, museums, tea and herbal tea.
I often say “So delicious!” or “So beautiful!” out loud when I enjoy something – doing that makes it feel ten times nicer, so I recommend it. (laughs)
I really like things that awaken the senses: aroma, warmth, texture and so on.
