Most Requested Service: The Zeccho Sleep aligns the hands and fingers to provide perfect pressure on the scalp. A Japanese head massage therapist releases tension in muscles around the head and eye areas, promoting good blood circulation. The massage is incredibly relaxing, leading to improved health, focus, and lower stress levels.

"Zeccho Sleep has been satisfying people especially who suffer stress and insomnia in Japan,” says Goku Spa’s Momoka Yamazaki. “As New York is the city that never sleeps, as well as the world capital of finance and business, we are thrilled to open our spa here."
