Feedback from Overseas Customers

★★★★★ First massage in Tokyo and was the best experience. Felt so relaxed after doing 20k steps on this holiday. Would highly recommend!

★★★★★ My first time in this saloon, and after the session im relieve and feel relax. Must go back again, thank you for the excellent service.

★★★★★ If you’re a Korean looking for a massage parlor, I highly recommend this place!!The staff is incredibly friendly, and they even offer complimentary drinks.Plus, they take the time to tailor every step of the treatment to my needs!! I got the Body & Hair package—the body massage was great, but the hair massage was absolutely the best!!

Sightseeing is hard on the body

Most of my guests come in with the same four things.

You’ve walked 20,000 steps a day, three days running

Calves tight, feet aching, and tomorrow you’re doing it again. The foot and leg oil work is built for exactly this.

One shoulder has carried the bag all week

Camera, water bottle, souvenirs, a jacket you didn’t end up needing. It’s almost always the same shoulder, and it knows it.

Your neck has been looking down at a map since you landed

Train transfers, station exits, translation apps. Hours of it, at the same angle.

You’re awake at 3am and heavy at 3pm

Deep pressure on the head and shoulders won’t fix your body clock, but it does help you sleep that night. Several guests book on their first evening for this reason.

Unique Approach

Deep Pressure

Unlike traditional aggressive massages, our unique therapy uses “deep, sustained pressure” while warming the affected area. We pinpoint the deep-seated stiffness causing your pain without damaging surrounding muscles. No painful cracking, just deep relaxation.

A Healing Space for the Five Senses

Our salon is a fully private room supervised by a popular designer. Enjoy a luxurious time without worrying about anyone else. Dimmed lights, comfortable jazz, and soothing scents create an extraordinary healing space.

Hospitality Beyond Expectations & Cafe Service

We provide tailored counseling and treatments. After your session, enjoy a complimentary, authentic cafe-style beverage (Freshly brewed coffee, decaf, green tea, etc.) to complete your relaxing experience.

Takes about a minute. No payment needed to book.

What I do

Three treatments, plus one course that combines all three.
Nothing else — no add-ons you have to decline at the table.

Body + Head Spa

Relieves body stiffness and refreshes your head and eyes. Perfect for stiff neck/shoulders, eye strain, and jet lag.

What to expect

Every visit follows the same simple flow.
No surprises, no upselling.

Visit Our Store

Our salon is located about an 8-minute walk from Jujo Station.

We are a one-on-one salon featuring completely private rooms, designed to provide a relaxing experience.

Counseling

We’ll talk for about five minutes before we start. Where it aches, how you slept, how much you’ve been walking.
If we don’t share a language, a translation app works fine — most of my international guests use one, and it has never been a problem.

Changing clothes

You’ll change into a loose top and shorts. You stay clothed for the entire treatment.
For the foot and leg oil work, only the area being worked on is uncovered.

Treatment

I press deep and hold, rather than kneading.
It should feel firm but never sharp.
Tell me at any point if you want more or less pressure — “stronger” and “softer” are all the English we need.

Healing Through Taste

After your treatment, enjoy a moment of relaxation right to the very end with one of our original drinks—which you can take home with you.
If you’ve had a head treatment, your hair will be completely dry, so you’re free to head out for dinner right away.

Thank you

Let salon de presso’s treatments help bring your body into top condition.
When your body is in balance, your travels will feel lighter and more enjoyable.
We’ll gently help you create the wonderful memories that lie ahead.

Takes about a minute. No payment needed to book.

Ryota Suzuki

Owner · and the only therapist here

I opened this place in July 2024, on my own, in a quiet part of Kita-ku. Before that I spent five years at a salon in Nerima, on the other side of Tokyo, including time as its manager.

I’m not from Tokyo. I grew up in Niigata and moved here in my twenties, and it took me a long time to work out what I wanted to do. So I know what it’s like to arrive in this city and not quite know where anything is — which is roughly how most of my guests arrive at my door.

What I’m actually good at is finding the spot. Not the general area — the spot. I press in, I hold, and I wait for it to let go. It’s slower than what you’re probably used to, and it goes deeper than it looks.

I don’t speak much English. My guests and I use a translation app, and in two years it has never caused a problem. “Stronger” and “softer” are honestly most of what we need.

I’ll be the one who answers your booking, opens the door, does the treatment, and makes your coffee afterwards. There’s nobody else here.

Questions

Do I need to speak Japanese?

No. I don’t speak much English either, so we’ll both use a translation app. It has never been a problem — and once the treatment starts, “stronger” and “softer” cover almost everything.

Do I have to take my clothes off?

No. You change into a loose top and shorts that I provide, and stay in them for the whole treatment. For the foot and leg oil work, only the leg being worked on is uncovered.

I have tattoos. Is that okay?

Yes, completely. No questions, no covering up, no extra charge. I know a lot of places in Japan turn people away for this — I’m not one of them.

How do I pay?

Cash, Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, etc.), IC Cards.All prices include tax.

Can I cancel my appointment?

Yes, you can, but if you cancel on the day of your appointment, you will be charged the full amount. If you think you might be late, please call us or send us a message on Instagram. If you are more than 15 minutes late, we may have to shorten the treatment time.

Can two of us come together?

There’s one treatment room and one therapist, so we’d need to book back to back rather than at the same time. Happy to arrange it if you tell me when you’re both free.

Is it far from central Tokyo?

It’s a 5-minute ride from Ikebukuro on the Saikyo Line, followed by an 8-minute walk. It’s much closer than most people imagine.
