Item Description

Salon de Tokyo provides wonderful shiatsu massage treatments.  New York Magazine says:

“Behind a nondescript door in a nondescript building is one of the best Shiatsu parlors in town. … Since 1971, Salon de Tokyo has quietly touted itself as the most traditional Shiatsu joint in New York City, offering services with modest price tags that sustain a longtime underground fan club... But this tiny spa’s sparkle comes not from its clients, but its therapists. Their signature one-hour treatment begins with a trip inside the sauna followed by a kneading of every muscle imaginable, from the neck down to the Achilles tendon. It’s a dry rub (no oils are used), intended to tenderize you for the next step, when a lithe lady climbs onto your bed and, gripping a metal pole for balance, steps up and down your sheet-covered torso. Privacy is precarious here, and semi-open doors mean the moans and groans you hear may not be your own. Also, both sexes share one changing room, two shower stalls, and a small hallway, so drape carefully if shyness is an issue.”
