Why Choose Masotera Kyoto: Professional Male Massage
English-Speaking Male Therapists Only
Many men feel self-conscious when lying on the table with a female therapist. You may crave the firmness and confidence of a male practitioner, yet hesitate to ask.
At Masotera Kyoto, two male therapists – Rei (the owner) and Nari – are on staff. Both of us are strong male therapists and speak English comfortably, so you can relax and communicate with ease throughout your session.
From firm, deep-tissue work on your back to thorough, no-awkwardness attention to your glutes, every muscle is treated with power and precision. Relax completely, knowing you’re in capable, all-male hands.
Five-Star Spa Quality & Satisfaction Guarantee
The products and techniques carefully selected by Masotera’s founder, who has visited five-star hotels and spas around the world, will surely make you feel as if you are in a five-star spa.
For essential oils that directly touch your skin, medical-grade products from Pranarom, a company famous for its healing fragrances and high reliability, are imported directly from France.
Masotera Kyoto is kept spotless at all times, with fresh disposable sheets on the table for every session.
To ensure your complete peace of mind, we offer an industry-first 100% cashback guarantee: if you’re not completely happy with your session, just let us know within the first 15 minutes and we’ll refund your entire fee—no questions asked.
Skills Learned Around the World
All of our male massage therapists at Masotera Kyoto have studied Thai massage at Wat Pho Traditional Medical School in Bangkok, the birthplace of Thai massage.
We also continue our education regularly at schools across the world, including India, Bali, and Chiang Mai, to keep improving our skills and techniques.
Each therapist works out almost daily, continually deepening their understanding of muscles and the body from multiple perspectives.
Recognizing the hassle of cash-only spas while traveling, Masotera Kyoto accepts all major credit cards (including Apple Pay) for your ease.

About the Male Massage Therapists
At Masotera Kyoto, our male therapists are fluent in English. This ensures that international guests feel fully understood and at ease throughout their experience.
Each therapist has completed professional certification at Wat Pho Traditional Medical School in Bangkok, the birthplace of Thai massage, and continues to refine their skills through ongoing in-house training.
In addition, our therapists maintain their strength and endurance through regular weight training, allowing them to deliver deeply effective and consistent pressure throughout every session.
We offer massages to men only. It’s because we know men’s bodies better as a man ourselves and we feel more comfortable. Gay, bisexual, queer trans, and straight men are all welcome.
Male Massage Testimonials
Top class massage
Really amazing, strong and professional massage from Rei. I’ve been seeing him for a few years now and I can highly recommend you try him. Reliable, respectful and a really, really good massage.
Chris
Very professional
Rei is very professional and has a good personality. He knows what he does and what my body needs. It was not just a Thai massage, but a great mix of Thai, Ayurveda, shiatsu, and trigger point massage. It was very strong and a bit painful (good pain!), but sensitive at the same time. He has great hands. I can’t wait for the next session! Thank you!
Pascal
Loved it!
One of my favorite massages. I loved all parts of his massage, but especially the glute massage is stunning. It not only felt good but also the next day my lower back pain went away. Really amazing. Hope to take another massage soon.
Alex
Best massage in my life!
I tried Rei’s massage and fell in love, so I had his massages 3 times in 10 days! I’ve tried many kinds of massages before, but his Thai Oil Massage is the best massage in my life! If he lives in Paris, I would take his massage every week for sure. 60 min feels very quick, so 90 min is a good start. Highly recommended.
Leo
A star from the East
Rei is billed as “best Asian massage” but in my opinion he likely is best masseur in BCN, Asian or European. Reliable, hygienic, friendly and attentive give yourself over to his tender mercies and enjoy. I stressed I prefer a very firm rub which was duly and expertly delivered. Bust the stress, tone up or just bliss out. But do not miss a rub from Rei.

Satisfaction Guarantee
We try to achieve 100% customer satisfaction with our services.
Specifically, we regularly take courses at overseas schools to improve our skills.
The oils we use are imported directly from France, focusing on high-quality, first-class products that we ourselves would like to use for our own skincare.
For clients who require a strong massage, we work out five times a week to improve our muscular strength and stamina.
However,
will that be enough to achieve 100% customer satisfaction?
After much thought and consideration, we have decided to offer a money-back guarantee, perhaps the first of its kind in the industry.
We are absolutely confident in the services we provide, but even so, there may be times when you are not satisfied with our services.
Therefore, if within 15 minutes of the start of treatment, a customer wishes to discontinue the treatment, we will stop the treatment immediately and gladly refund the full amount of the treatment fee without asking for a reason.
The goal is to achieve 100% customer satisfaction.
If we cannot achieve this, we will not ask for payment.
This is the ultimate satisfaction guarantee we have found.
