| These are same massage parlors in this area however if you like to have a good one in an authorized place recognized by the ministry of health you many have to visit a right one. In the officially registered massage spot the massage is done by the specialists having the licence and You can also use a health insurance: For example: If the massage is 1,000 yen: Your actual payment is 300 yen. The health insurance pays 700 yen. Use your travel insurance or national health insurance of Japan. National health insurance: for the people who have visa (work, study, cultur, etc.). You pay to the massage spot only 300 yen. For travel insurance holder: Pay 1,000 yen and get the receipt. You get imbursement from your insurance company with the receipt in your country. Many martial art athletes go to Miwa Chiryoin(treatment) near Akebonobashi station (Shinjuku line subway). 1 minutes walk from A2 exit, through the Akebonobashi shopping street, right side, 4 th floor of Seven Eleven building, in front of Chinese restaurant. Miwa Chiryoin:tel:03-3358-0752 call them in Japanese! I myself have tried many different places however I prefer having the treatment in Miwa because they are a kind of clinic that heals the body not only giving relaxization. They hire only the professionals who have licence that can be given by the authority to the person who graduated alternative medical institute where give education for a couple of years about the knowledge of human body just like a medical collage. In the unauthorized private massage parlors the staffs are sometimes unprofessional or part time workers that is why it is dangerous to let them touch the body without knowing the specialized knowledge about the body structure/muscle/organ/disease, etc. |
