Waho-An Nature Tokyo

I had an excellent experience at Waho-An Nature Tokyo with Ryo. I booked a chiropractic massage and noticed a significant improvement in my mobility after the very first treatment. It made such a difference that I immediately booked a follow-up appointment before leaving Tokyo. Ryo takes the time to consult with you beforehand and really understand what’s going on with your body. The treatment felt very personalized rather than a one-size-fits-all massage. He is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and clearly cares about helping his clients feel better. For international visitors, communication is easy—his English is excellent and he explains everything clearly. The entire experience felt professional, thoughtful, and very welcoming. He also makes and sells his own teas, which are fantastic. I picked up the detox tea and the relax & unwind tea, and both are delicious and feel very thoughtfully crafted and beneficial to my health. If you’re visiting Tokyo and dealing with tightness, mobility issues, or just want a truly high-quality treatment, I highly recommend seeing Ryo at Waho-An Nature Tokyo. One of the best wellness experiences I had during my trip.

BEST MASSAGE EVER. I am not a massage novice. I’m in my 30s and have been getting massages since I was a teenager and have tried everything from Swedish and reflexology to Thai massages in Thailand. I’ve even tried acupuncture (which I know isn’t technically a massage) just to drive the ‘point’ home - ba dum tss 🥁 I’ve also had “shiatsu” massages before, but now I think I may have been duped all these years. I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve actually experienced a true shiatsu massage. I’m not sure how to explain it. You just have to try it for yourself. I also really appreciated the chiropractic adjustments during the session. Finishing with tea afterward was a nice way to recover from that feeling of being “massage drunk.” Can’t wait to go back!

I have been to the most expensive to the value massages and I can say that Waho-An Tokyo delivered. May just be one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I’m an acupuncturist in CA and have been traveling for the past 5 weeks in the Philippines and Japan. My body was in dire need of care. The therapies were so good, I went back to back daysz Kaito-san and Jun-san were both amazing. I came in with neck, upper back, Lft sided Si joint pain that was starting to bother my sciatic nerve; the next day I came in for lower extremity and jaw pain. Getting out of both treatments and 24 hours after, I feel amazing. Soreness post treatment is something to be expected but days after, I am pain free. Looking forward to coming back on my next Japan trip and will make sure to book at least 3x a week that I am here. Arigato Gozaimas Kaito-san and Jun-san. You guys are amazing!

My fiancé and I took a shiatsu massage class with Ryo during our one full day in Tokyo at the end of a long trip, and it was one of the best decisions we made. After a week of snowboarding, we wanted to treat ourselves to a great massage, but also learn techniques we could use on each other at home! Ryo was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, fitting us into his schedule on short notice. As a teacher, he was patient, encouraging, and very detail-oriented, thoughtfully correcting our form and helping us understand how to properly target specific muscles. We left with a whole new appreciation for how technical and skillful massage therapy truly is. He even helped us record parts of the lesson so we could practice at home, which we really appreciated. We only wish Waho-An was in San Francisco so we could go all the time! We’ll absolutely be back every time we’re in Tokyo. Highly, highly recommend.

I had a really great experience at Waho-An with Ryo. I had just come off some long flights and a lot of sitting, so my glutes and lower back were extremely tight and I was feeling pretty worn down from travel. Ryo quickly found the problem areas and worked through them carefully. What I appreciated most was that he explained what he was doing during the treatment, including the joint and spine adjustments. It made me feel a lot more comfortable and confident in the process. He’s very calm, personable, and speaks great English, which made communication easy. The space itself was also really nice—clean, relaxing, and in a private room with aromatherapy that helped set the tone for the session. By the end I felt noticeably looser and more refreshed. Ryo mentioned that he usually recommends a two-hour session for a full treatment, and after experiencing his work I can definitely see why. I’d happily come back and see him again.

How should I even begin this review? I found Master Ryo through another Shiatsu teacher in Tokyo, and I feel incredibly lucky to have become his student and learn the foundations of Shiatsu from him. Actually, I learned basic pressure points from my mother when I was only seven years old. Over the years, I realized that one of the ways I can truly appreciate everything she has done for me is to continue learning and honoring this practice. I’ll keep training and practicing Shiatsu in Toronto, and I’m planning to return next year to earn the advanced certification. If you’re interested in learning the basics of Shiatsu or receiving a treatment, I wholeheartedly recommend my teacher, Master Ryo. Please go and meet him!

I have been here multiple times on my trips to Japan. Once in summer 2024 and again in December 2025. Both times I got the reflexology massage but I recommend any of their treatments. I have had scoliosis surgery and the therapists are very knowledgeable about how to work with this procedure. The owner is very friendly and clearly loves what he does. He is very knowledgeable and the massages are efficient. Both times I felt so full of energy and happy after. My friend, a Muslim who wears a scarf, was able to be treated by a female massage therapist. All massages are done in small rooms, so I would say this place is Muslim friendly (just please send them an email in advance if you prefer a specific gender of person to massage). The tea they serve is delicious and the place is very relaxing to visit. I look forward to coming back again on the next trip!

Highly recommend Ryo-san for shiatsu massage! I came in after throwing out my back, and he was incredibly knowledgeable and communicative throughout the session. He carefully explained what he was doing and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. At the end, he also took extra time to share helpful advice and practical stretches I could do at home. I’m already feeling much better and will definitely be coming back again!
