About the Therapist
Hello, I’m Shinya.
I’m Japanese, and I speak Japanese and a little English. I’ve been an aromatherapist for more than 15 years, but my path here wasn’t a straight one.
I first worked as a waiter in restaurants and hotels. At the time, I thought it was the perfect job for me—but slowly, I began to feel something was missing. I kept asking myself, If I could start over, what would I want to do? The words that always came to mind were healing and fragrance.
So I left the restaurant world and enrolled in a school for medical aromatherapy. There, I began learning deeply about essential oils—something I’ve been passionate about ever since.
Over the years, I’ve worked in a hotel spa, a relaxation salon, and a shop that sold naturopathic products such as medicinal herbs, essential oils, homeopathic remedies, and flower essences. In November 2011, I finally opened my own massage salon.
My style blends deep relaxation with a steady, firm touch. I specialize in both facial and body treatments, and my personal recommendation is the Body & Facial – 120 minutes, which gives full care to both body and face.
I also have a wide selection of Japanese essential oils that you won’t often find elsewhere. Yuzu and cypress from Kyoto are local favorites, and you can also enjoy shell ginger from Okinawa, hinoki cypress from Aomori, fir trees from Hokkaido, hōshō from Kagoshima (which smells like rosewood), and several varieties of mandarin orange from Ehime.
These days, I’m also studying oriental medicine, and I make my own herbal teas based on its principles. Since 2020, I’ve been sharing my massage techniques with people who want to become male therapists.
This is a small, private salon that welcomes one guest at a time.
Here, you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy a quiet space that’s just for you. I hope it will be a gentle part of your journey in Kyoto.
