GENKI foot・body massage Shinjuku — Attraction in Tokyo

Had a great and memorable time at Genki! A MUST if you are walking A LOT! I highly recommend getting the 60 minutes foot massage with oil! And we got so much out of it. Shout out to the kind mister 17! And kind lady 22! They took care of me and my bf. 10/10!

Straight forward. Easy to find. Free WiFi. Clean bathroom. Great service. Kind and attentive staff. Foreigner friendly! Walk in OK! Great price & Value!! —— Straight forward and easy to find! The place is right next to Mister donut and up the elevator to 5th floor. The floor is quiet and people were at peace. It was reassuring that this is a place people of all kinds would frequent from foreigners to natives. English and Chinese friendly! We were escorted by the staff to another floor where we were warmly welcomed with slippers to change into and a basket to put our stuff in. They helped us into the chair and covered us in blanket. They offered us cold and warm tea per our request. More than we expected! We picked the 60 minute foot massage & got our knee, lower leg and foot massaged. They were very attentive and asked if this was enough pressure. It would be good to just say “lighter” or “harder”. Be straightforward with your request, it’s easier for them. I saw so many people other than me at ease. And they even have privacy curtains for pairs. They had nice calming music playing too. My pain in my feet vanished and I was so relaxed! I have walked around 18,000 steps by that time. I was really worried my feet would smell but they didn’t judge. What I like about them is that they will adjust accordingly to loosen the tight area as long as you are okay with it. Their willingness to explain what’s going on made me more comfortable. We also went close to their dinner break time and they were super understanding and accommodating! I appreciate all the good company and this relaxing time with nice staff. They also offer small candy too, it’s pretty cute! I appreciate 17 giving us great advice on how to better take care of our aching legs through this trip. They offer full body massage and different packages. There will always be something that works for you. The towels are clean, so you won’t be surprised by random dirt or a hair.

This was, without exaggeration, one of the worst experiences I have ever had. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that professionalism and quality were nonexistent. The massage itself was a complete disaster—based on the technique (or lack thereof), I sincerely doubt the masseur had any formal training, certification, or even the most basic understanding of anatomy. It felt as if they had simply hired unqualified individuals off the street.

The environment was equally appalling. The massage table was uncomfortably small and ice-cold, making it impossible to relax. Worse yet, I was shivering throughout the session because the door was constantly opening and closing, allowing cold air to flood the room. To make matters even more unbearable, other employees were noisily scrubbing floors, walking around, and engaging in unrelated tasks, completely disregarding the need for a peaceful and private atmosphere.

Adding to the absurdity, my massage was conducted right by the entrance, next to the elevator—hardly the setting for a relaxing or professional experience. The lack of privacy was shocking, and the constant commotion made it impossible to feel even remotely comfortable.

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The overwhelmingly positive reviews must be fabricated because my experience was the exact opposite of what they claim. This establishment charges exorbitant prices for what can only be described as a chaotic, amateurish, and deeply unpleasant service.

Do yourself a favor—stay far away from this place. It’s a...

Just had a 90 minute foot massage with Saffron oil by therapist #25 and it was amazing!

The Massage itself: My feet and calves are pretty sore from traveling long distances during my short visit and after the massage, I feel like I can go climb to the top of the Inari shrine again! The massage focuses on feet, ankles, and calves which is super useful and different from other places I’ve been to.

The therapist: I had #25 (I didn’t get his name; so sorry! 😞) and he was amazing. He spoke to me in English perfectly because I speak almost zero Japanese. He gave me clear instructions on what to do next to get ready. Then the massage itself was extraordinary. He checked with me frequently to make sure the pressure was okay. Since I had pretty sore feet, I just let him do full pressure and he can really get into it! He had amazing strength but never too hard to be painful. They allow you to choose to book with specific therapists in advance but if you walk in, it’s whoever’s available and I’m so glad I got #25!

The setting: The building looks a bit unkempt from the outside but the massage place is completely clean and professional. They offer you shorts and a changing room when you get in. Then they give you tea and candy to enjoy while getting massaged. There’s also a cat owned by the business who you can pet during your massage. She’s completely friendly and will quietly sit in your chair with you.

I will definitely be making another appointment here before I...
