Why visitors choose us

FAQ

Do you speak English?
Simple English + translation apps (ChatGPT). Written English via LINE works best - we reply in English.
Can I come today?
Often yes. Message us on LINE in the morning and we will offer same-day slots when available.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Japanese needles are extremely thin (about a hair's width). Most first-timers are surprised how gentle it feels.

Yes, it works the same as for Japanese residents for eligible acute injuries. The fixed plans above are designed for visitors without Japanese insurance.

Note

We provide care aimed at relieving pain and supporting your body's recovery. Results vary by individual; this is not a promise of cure. If you have severe symptoms (numbness with weakness, fever, injury from a major accident), please visit a hospital first.
