Just a few minutes from Yurakucho, shiatsu in its original form.
Heavy shoulders after a day of shopping.
A stiff lower back between meetings.
Just a few minutes' walk from Yurakucho, there is a place where you can receive Namikoshi Shiatsu.
Namikoshi Shiatsu Salon belongs to the family of Tokujiro Namikoshi, who brought shiatsu to the world in 1925.
Working without oil or machines, our practitioners read the state of your body and press slowly with palm and thumb to ease built-up tension.
We are a 5-minute walk from JR Yurakucho Station, on the Main Building mezzanine of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo.
Between shopping and meetings —
shiatsu at its source.
Yurakucho is a district where shopping and business share the same afternoon.
Tired legs from walking the shops, a neck and shoulders set hard by your desk and phone —
shiatsu sits within a short walk, easy to reach before or after a meeting, shopping bags and all.
Namikoshi Shiatsu Salon is not one school or one method among many. It is the home of the family that gave the word and the technique of shiatsu to the world.
No oil, no machines — only the palm and thumb, leaning body weight into a slow, steady press. Because nothing is left on the skin, it fits naturally into a day of errands or work.
Shiatsu was created and given its name by Tokujiro Namikoshi in 1925.
Here in Yurakucho you can receive it from his own family line, at Namikoshi Shiatsu Salon on the Main Building Mezzanine of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo.
All practitioners hold the national Anma Massage Shiatsu Practitioner license.
Why guests choose Namikoshi Shiatsu
Facts only.
The origin of Shiatsu — 1925
The founder of Shiatsu was Tokujiro Namikoshi, 1st generation.
Since 1925 — nearly a century —
the technique of pressing the body's vital points using only the fingers and palms has been passed down without interruption.
No oil, between errands
Shiatsu uses no oil, so nothing is left on the skin.
It slips easily into a short break in a day of shopping or work,
softening tension in the shoulders and back even in a limited time.
