How can I pay?

Can I tip you? Is it impolite in Japan?

Yes, if you’re happy with the service, it’s truly an honor to receive a tip. Thank you very much! Although some people believe tipping in Japan is impolite, rest assured it’s never considered rude here.

Do you tip in Japan for a massage?

In Japan, tipping is not customary, so there’s no need to leave a tip.

Male Massage Etiquette

Will I be naked?

Depends. You will be wearing comfortable clothes for Traditional Thai Massage, but you’ll be naked for oil massages such as Thai Oil Massage and Deep Tissue Massage. Disposable underwear is available at the studio, so feel free to ask if you’d like to use it.

Will the masseur be naked?

No. The masseur will be wearing clothes which is comfortable to give you a good massage.

Is it a problem if I get hard?

It’s not a problem. It happens most of the time, and it’s normal for men. It doesn’t matter if you are gay, bi, or straight, but it just happens sometimes. No worries and just relax.

Can I touch the male massage therapist?

No, you cannot touch the male massage therapist. Please respect and just relax.

Can I arrive early for my appointment?

Masotera Tokyo is a fully private, reservation-only studio. Arriving too early may overlap with the previous guest or catch us mid-cleanup. To ensure a smooth experience, please plan to arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before and no later than your appointment time.

I’m running late for my appointment.

If you know you’ll be late, please let us know as soon as possible. If there’s sufficient time before the next guest’s appointment, we’ll still aim to give you your full session. However, if the following appointment is fully booked, your session may be shortened. Please understand that in this case, you will still be charged for the original appointment length.

Can foreigners get a massage in Japan?

Absolutely! The therapist at Masotera Tokyo speaks fluent English (and also some Spanish, with a little French), and we’ve welcomed countless international guests. Feel free to book with confidence and enjoy your session.

I have a tattoo. Will that be an issue?

Not at all! While some spas and onsens in Japan may turn away guests with tattoos, Masotera Tokyo is completely tattoo-friendly. Please feel free to book and relax with us.

Male Massage Details

What kind of oil do you use?

100% pure sweet almond oil with a few drops of lavender oil. It helps moisturize the skin and is not too greasy, so you don’t need to shower after the session.

Do you offer sexual services?

No. We welcome all sexualities, gay, bi, or straight, but we do not provide sexual services. Professional services only.

Do you offer services such as Karsai Nei Tsang or Japkasai?

No, we do not. Although we received several inquiries about Karsai Nei Tsang and Japkasai and even explored training options in Chiang Mai, Thailand, we found that no reputable schools teach these techniques, and they are rarely offered even in Thailand. Therefore, we do not provide any such services. Only professional, established massage therapies are available at Masotera Tokyo.

What happens in a full-body male massage?

At Masotera Tokyo, your full-body male massage begins with you lying face down. We work from your feet and calves up through the hamstrings, glutes, and back, combining firm pressure with targeted stretches. After you turn over, we treat your legs, arms, chest, shoulders, and neck, using firm pressure and customized stretches to release tension and enhance mobility.

Mobile Massage (Outcall Services)

Will you come with a massage table for a mobile massage?

I don’t come with a massage table for a mobile massage. My treatment is based on Thai Massage, which is traditionally practiced on a bed or floor, so I provide my treatment on a bed or floor in your home or hotel. If the client owns a massage table, it is also possible to provide the treatment on the massage table.

Which areas do you cover for outcall service?

We generally cover locations within the JR Yamanote Line loop. If your venue is within approximately a 30-minute travel time from Ebisu Station, we can provide service at our standard outcall surcharge rate. For areas outside this zone, we may need to decline service or charge an additional fee, so please contact us for details.

Can you provide outcall service to a hotel in Haneda Airport?

Yes, that’s possible. However, a ¥3000 surcharge will apply in addition to the standard mobile surcharge.

Can you provide outcall service to a hotel near Narita Airport?

As the round-trip travel time is roughly 4 hours, we generally do not accept requests for Narita Airport–area bookings. If we make an exception, an outcall surcharge of approximately ¥40000 will apply.

Can you provide outcall service to the Yokosuka area?

As the round-trip travel time is roughly 3 hours, we generally do not accept requests for Yokosuka–area bookings. If we make an exception, an outcall surcharge of approximately ¥20000 will apply.

Can you provide outcall service to the Yokohama area?

Yes, that’s possible. However, in addition to the standard mobile surcharge, a travel fee of ¥3000–¥5000 will apply, varying based on which part of Yokohama you’re in and how far the location is from the nearest station.

Do you offer outcalls overseas?

Yes, we can travel internationally, but travel expenses (flights, accommodation, etc.) will apply. Please let us know your budget, and we’ll confirm whether we can accommodate your request.

Booking & Cancellation

Until when can I cancel my booking without a fee?

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the appointment time. After that time, please expect to pay a 100% cancellation fee.

What’s the process from booking to confirmation?

  • Select your preferred time slot on the Masotera Tokyo booking calendar and submit a booking request.
  • We’ll send you a WhatsApp message to verify.
  • Reply with your name on WhatsApp. Once we confirm your details and availability, your booking is finalized, and you’ll receive a confirmation email.

How many hours before do you accept booking requests?

We accept booking requests until 2 hours before your desired session start time.

Facilities

Is there a shower in the studio?

Yes. I offer a shower, although my massage oil is non-greasy and skin-moisturizing, so you can go home without rinsing. If you’d like to shower before or after your session, please let me know in advance so we can adjust the schedule for the next guest.

Other Services

Do you offer yoga lessons?

At this time, we do not offer yoga lessons. However, if there’s enough interest, we’ll consider adding them in the future.

Can I invite you for a dinner?

I generally must decline personal invitations. However, if you need an extra guest to meet a minimum headcount for a restaurant booking of two or more, I can join you at a rate of minimum ¥10,000 per hour plus travel expenses. Please let me know the details if you’d like to discuss further.

Can you be my tour guide?

We’re currently exploring offering tour guide and concierge services in Tokyo and across Japan. Please share your preferred dates and budget, and we’ll let you know how we can assist.

Do you offer personal training?

At this time, we do not offer personal trainings. However, if there’s enough interest, we’ll consider adding them in the future.
