Tips to get the most out of a massage in Kichijoji
When receiving a massage in Kichijoji, please pay attention to the following points and enjoy the healing experience to the fullest.
Book in advance
It is necessary to make a reservation in advance, especially at popular massage parlors.
Many Japanese stores have a small number of people, and in most cases they cannot accept large groups.
If there's a store you're looking for, make a reservation about 2 weeks in advance.
Tell them about your health
Before receiving a massage, provide accurate health information to your therapist, such as your physical condition, chronic illnesses, and past injuries.
This allows you to receive a safer and more effective massage.
Also, after the massage, it is important to avoid rapid exercise and rest your body with slow movements.
Try to stay well hydrated to help with detoxification.
We also recommend relaxing at a cafe in Kichijoji or enjoying nature at Inokashira Park.
