Dotonbori KORI-RELAX — Local services in Osaka

I found this place after my husband's Google searches turned up places of a more R-rated nature, particularly in the Dotonburi area. I must admit I was a bit cautious about a 24-hour massage place, but it turned out just fine. The "clinic" is located on the fifth floor accessible by an elevator. We dropped in without an appointment at 10:30 p.m. and were told we could be accommodated an hour later. The front staff had an English menu, but our practitioners spoke almost no English. They make you pay up front. We got a 1 hour massage that cost 28,000 yen. The massage spaces are located in a big room divided by curtains. Apparently there are also private rooms.

All in all it was very good! Perfect thing you could do after sightseeing or just when being tense cause youre not used to A/C...

Please ask for another masseuse if you get stuck with one of the 3 Chinese men working there. Not only did they talk negatively about us in Chinese, at one point the one of the Chinese workers told the other to charge us extra in Chinese since they thought we only spoke English. During the massage, the two Chinese men that we had basically were never given proper training. They used elbows on sensitive areas like the neck and lower lumbar area, had sporadic rhythm, and pinched the skin rather than rubbing. There are many other massage parlors around the area, so please choose another if you wish to have a quality experience. The place is also small,...
