The origin of Shiatsu, since 1925.
Now at the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, Mezzanine.
Open daily,
11:00–19:00 JST (last session starts at 19:00)
One minute from Hibiya Station. On the mezzanine of the Imperial Hotel — shiatsu in its original form.
One minute on foot from Exit A13 of Hibiya Station.
You will find Namikoshi Shiatsu Salon on the mezzanine of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo Main Building.
Tokujiro Namikoshi created shiatsu in 1925.
Here, his family carries that shiatsu on today.
For anyone looking for shiatsu
or massage in Hibiya.
This is a district of offices, theatres, and travel.
Before or after a meeting, in the hour before a performance, or between legs of a business trip — even a short stay can let you set down the tension in your shoulders and back before moving on.
We are here on the hotel mezzanine for days like that.
Namikoshi shiatsu is not a machine and not a passing technique.
It is a Japanese method of pressing point by point with the thumbs and palms.
We read the state of your body and adjust the pressure to the tension of that day.
Every session is given by a nationally licensed shiatsu practitioner.
One minute from Exit A13 of Hibiya Station, you can receive the shiatsu the Namikoshi family has handed down.
All practitioners hold the national Anma Massage Shiatsu Practitioner license.

the technique of pressing the body's vital points with only the thumbs and palms has been passed down without interruption.
Four generations of the Namikoshi family
From Tokujiro (1st) to Toru (2nd), Takashi (3rd), and Tomoya (4th).
The same family has carried both the technique and its spirit.
