I had the Dotonbori Special (65 min Thai Massage, 90 min Aroma oil massage) last week and it was easily in the top 3 massages I've ever had in my life.
Juno was the therapist and when I first saw how petite she was, I was worried that it would not be so strong of a massage, but man is she strong!! I didn't specify any specific problem but usually have issues with my hips. In the first 65 minutes massage, I was on the table which had a comfortable face hole as well as a "ramp" for your chest which was super comfortable combined with the face cut out. I've never seen that before. Then, I was in the provided clothing and covered with a towel, she found out exactly where my problems were on her own and really dug into the muscles that connected to cause me my pain.
After the 65 minute massage, I was asked to take off the clothes but keep on the provided underwear and I was again covered with a towel on the areas that were not actively being worked on.

The “masseuse” was working on the reception the whole time, so after stating my “massage” late, every minute he said “sorry, just a moment” and went to the reception to pick up phone calls, open doors, talk to people coming in and out of the store and he would be gone for minutes. I paid for 60 minutes massage and I didn’t even get 30 minutes of massage if i combine all the times the masseuse was there with me. All this time everything was very loud with conversations and nothing relaxing at all! I did not get a full body massage and he was barely done with my shoulders by the time one hour had passed (and he started by the neck, so he really didn’t make it down for the full body, as it was what i paid for) I brought it up and the masseuse just walked out on me. You have to pay in advance, so you can’t get your money back. Absolutely a scam! Do...
Read moreThe staff were kind and respectful, but unfortunately the massage was very poor. I had a male therapist who seemed Japanese. He was polite, but the technique was not relaxing or helpful at all — it felt more like random pressing with no real skill. I go for massages regularly, and sadly, this was one of the worst I’ve had. I even thought of stopping the session before it ended, but I didn’t want to embarrass him because he was nice.
I appreciate the good attitude of the staff, but the massage quality needs serious improvement. I’m now going to another place to...
