Kyoto healing place Yumemishi Higobashi branch — Local services in Osaka

I am truly amazed and humbled by the exceptional traditional Japanese hospitality at this massage chain in Osaka. My therapist, Sejima, was incredibly attentive, taking my specific requests to heart. I had tension in my head and shoulders from driving the rental car from Tokyo to Osaka, and my feet were tired from walking 15,000 steps every day while sightseeing in Japan for the first time. Sejima skillfully made variations in the massage to focus on these areas, providing immense relief.

My wife and I have a habit of booking massages in every country we travel to (and in cities in the USA) as a way to release stress. I can say with absolute confidence that this has been the best massage experience of our lifetimes. We’re millennials who’ve seen a lot, and this experience tops them all. Highly recommended!

P.S. if you have trouble booking because of the language barrier, ask your hotel staff or Airbnb to book for you. We can communicate the massage in English no problem but don’t expect very deep conversations or small talk without your...

They tried their best to communicate in English and even had already translated cards. Most importantly, the reason why this is 5 stars, is that they gave a really good massage. We both walked out feeling soooo relaxed. Thank you to those two ladies, I wish I...

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! I dropped in for a 60 min full body massage. The location is really tranquil. The staff make you feel welcome right away with a cup of tea before and after your treatment and a comfortable spot to sit while completing pre-treatment forms and checking out afterwards. As an American visitor, I didn’t have any problems communicating with my masseuse.

They offered a brief complimentary foot bath and massage right before getting started. Also, they’ll offer you clothes to change into as this massage doesn’t use body oil. This was different than I’m used to at home, but it didn’t hinder the experience at all. My masseuse had the best technique, and I wish all my massages were both that effective...
