\n

Yes, if you\u2019re happy with the service, it\u2019s truly an honor to receive a tip. Thank you very much! Although some people believe tipping in Japan is impolite, rest assured it\u2019s never considered rude here.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Male Massage Etiquette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Will I be naked?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Will the masseur be naked?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

No. The masseur will be wearing clothes which is comfortable to give you a good massage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Is it a problem if I get hard?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

It\u2019s not a problem. It happens most of the time, and it\u2019s normal for men. It doesn\u2019t matter if you are gay, bi, or straight, but it just happens sometimes. No worries and just relax.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Can I touch the male massage therapist?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

No, you cannot touch the male massage therapist. Please respect and just relax.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Can I arrive early for my appointment?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m running late for my appointment.<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

If you know you\u2019ll be late, please let us know as soon as possible. If there\u2019s sufficient time before the next guest\u2019s appointment, we\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Can foreigners get a massage in Japan?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

Absolutely! The therapist at Masotera Tokyo speaks fluent English (and also some Spanish, with a little French), and we\u2019ve welcomed countless international guests. Feel free to book with confidence and enjoy your session.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

I have a tattoo. Will that be an issue?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Male Massage Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

What kind of oil do you use?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

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\u2019t need to shower after the session.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Is Masotera Tokyo gay-friendly?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

Absolutely. The owner is a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and Masotera Tokyo has always been a welcoming space for gay, bisexual, queer, and straight men alike. Many of our regular clients are gay men, including locals and LGBTQ+ travelers visiting from around the world. You can relax, be yourself, and talk openly \u2014 no judgment, no awkwardness. We’re also conveniently located just one street away from Shinjuku Ni-chome, Tokyo’s gay neighborhood.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Do you offer sexual services?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

No. We welcome all sexualities, gay, bi, or straight, but we do not provide sexual services. Professional services only.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Do you offer services such as Karsai Nei Tsang or Japkasai?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

What happens in a full-body male massage?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

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 (No stretching for deep tissue). 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mobile Massage (Outcall Services)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Will you come with a massage table for a mobile massage?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

We don\u2019t come with a massage table for a mobile massage. Our treatment is based on Thai Massage, which is traditionally practiced on a bed or the floor, so we provide it on a bed or the 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Do I need to prepare anything for a mobile massage?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

Nothing in particular is required. Please prepare your own towels if you need them to cover your body or for the bed. We provide massage oil, but we do not bring a massage table. If you would like to rent towels, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance. Large towel: \u00a52,000, small towel: \u00a51,000.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Which areas do you cover for outcall service?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

We generally cover locations within the JR Yamanote Line loop. If your venue is within approximately a 30-minute travel time from Shinjuku Gyoenmae 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Can you provide outcall service to a hotel in Haneda Airport?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

Yes, that\u2019s possible. However, a \u00a53000 surcharge will apply in addition to the standard mobile surcharge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Can you provide outcall service to a hotel near Narita Airport?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>

Can you provide outcall service to the Yokosuka area?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

As the round-trip travel time is roughly 3 hours, we generally do not accept requests for Yokosuka\u2013area bookings. If we make an exception, an outcall surcharge of approximately \u00a520000 will apply.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Can you provide outcall service to the Yokohama area?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

Yes, that\u2019s possible. However, in addition to the standard mobile surcharge, a travel fee of \u00a53000\u2013\u00a55000 will apply, varying based on which part of Yokohama you\u2019re in and how far the location is from the nearest station.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Do you offer outcalls overseas?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n

Yes, we can travel internationally, but travel expenses (flights, accommodation, etc.) will apply. Please let us know your budget, and we\u2019ll confirm whether we can accommodate your request.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Booking & Cancellation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Until when can I cancel my booking without a fee?<\/h3><\/i><\/i><\/span><\/summary>
\n
