I've been doing a lot of walking on my trip, and this was a total change of pace. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the venue has a very charming feel to it. The massage was lovely and so was the rest of the experience. Definitely something to do if you have the time!
A wonderful experience with kind people. The massage was heavenly, the ambience was special and the matcha was fantastic! Thank you!
This is a small facility held in a temple, that offers warm bamboo stick massage. Very relaxing, a little bit of adventure to find (maps apps put you on main road you need to go round the other side)
This experience was so lovely and relaxing, and it was all in such a beautiful temple! My host was so kind and took lots of photos for me on my phone (and they were all great photos too!). The matcha ceremony was informative and of course tasty. The foot bath was sooo needed after days of heavy walking. And the massage!! Absolutely the highlight- so relaxing I almost fell asleep! I highly recommend this for anyone looking to find a bit of peace on a busy trip! So glad I found this experience.
This was such a wonderful way to wind down our trip. The staff was amazing and so informative and accommodating. We absolutely loved it!
Very cool experience! I went with my husband and son, 7. We started with a foot soak and massage, then a full body massage, followed by a matcha tea experience. The staff were very polite and helpful in explaining. Plus, you get to do all this in a 530-year-old temple!
So relaxing, fantastic massage and beautiful location. Matcha tea and mochi was delicious. Totally recommend.
So many firsts - first trip to Japan, first massage, first matcha tea ceremony…This was such a great experience! Arisa was my host and she was very welcoming. She even extended my time a bit as I was late after getting lost in the area. The temple itself is quiet, a nice oasis in an otherwise non-stop city. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience with entire experince from the Yukata wearing and photographs, foot massage, body bamboo massage, and tea ceremony. It was definately the highlight of our trip to Japan and we highly recommend it. Also, we were running very late for our appointment and the team communicated with us via WhatApp as we made our way to them. They were so kind in their messages and just as kind when we showed up late. A heartfelt thanks.
This might be my favorite thing I've done in Japan. It's an amazing experience! If you like massages or if you have never gotten a massage, you NEED to do this! I loved getting to do this and I'm glad my anxiety about traveling solo didn't get in my way. They made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. It was perfect to go to this after having does several walking tours this week around Osaka and having sore legs and feet I am so glad I found this and was able to fit it into my trip! It's very easy to find and very conveniently located close to the metro. They have great signs in English so you can find it easily. Google maps also was accurate.
Amazing experience! I would recommend this to everyone who is visiting! As a solo traveler, they made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. If you like massages, it is the best massage I've gotten. You will love it! It is very easy to find and get to, very convenient!
This was an amazing experience and a must in Osaka. The staff was kind, welcoming and graceful. The massage was relaxing and invigorating.
This was the most indulgent and enriching experience. The bamboo massage was so relaxing i didnt want it to end. The matcha tea ceremony and meditation and temple devotion were such a fantastic cultural experience.
My wife and I did this massage as a couple and absolutely loved it!! The staff are very nice and patient when teaching you about the culture. I would greatly recommend to anyone in the Osaka area!
Wonderful experience! One of the best massages I have ever had. And the matcha ceremony added uniqueness - very special place
The photos and description in the ad do a good job of outlining the activity. There are quite a few mini elements to this experience and it makes for a whole body/mind/spirt educational and relaxing event set in an interesting small Buddhist temple partially hidden in an ally. Early on we had a scented foot massage in warm water wooden buckets. The crowning activity was of course the body massage done professionally and thoroughly. The ladies had understandable English and were warm, friendly, and polite
The ladies were very nice and polite but location was a little difficult to find. Directors on viator site were not accurate! Other than that, the tour was nice. Besides the massage, they did a mini meditation in the shrine and also a mini tea ceremony at the end, this have you the full experience of the Japanese culture while indulging in a relaxed atmosphere.
I found this amazing spot on TripAdvisor while looking to treat myself for my birthday, and it was a treat indeed! From the warm welcome and foot wash to the relaxing massage and beautiful tea ceremony, every moment felt special. The friendly staff made me feel right at home, and to top it off, they surprised me with a birthday gift and photos to remember the experience. It was the perfect mix of Japanese culture and pampering. I would recommend for anyone visiting Osaka looking to combine culture and pampering!
