Popular Japanese Head Massage Spa Comes to the United States

Since opening their first shop in Kyoto in 2008, Goku no Kimochi (Goku Spa) is the most sought-after massage establishment in Japan.

One of the most popular establishments for head massages in Japan, Goku Spa, is opening its first U.S. location in New York City on May 20. If you want the ultimate Japanese head massage, make your reservation soon, because their waitlist in Japan exceeds 436,000 people!

The Zeccho Sleep is one of the most requested services at Goku, which relaxes the mind and brain while decreasing stress.

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."

Guests of Goku Spa emerge with a euphoric feeling and often notice improved sleep for the next few nights after their treatments.

Dry Service: The Kamiwaza Technique is a dry treatment that doesn’t use water, lotion, or oils. This head massage was developed and refined with the help of Japan’s top health care professionals from diverse fields including neuroscience, acupuncture, psychology, and massage therapy.
