The healing touch of shiatsu, a form of pressure massage, is perfect for those looking for balance – physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. It works well for those with tense shoulders and back, as well as chronic illnesses such as problems with internal organs. In Tokyo you’ll find places to both experience and learn shiatsu techniques.

There are also a number of English-speaking acupuncturists based here who can work with you on specific problems. As acupuncture continues to become more accepted in the west it has also become more accepted among the foreign population here.
