120-minute oil massage course: 7000 yen

To get to this Thai massage parlor, it's about a 10-minute walk from the station, down a small alley from the 3rd floor. There are other Chinese and Thai massage parlors on the 2nd and 4th floors, which I've been to before, but this one is by far the cheapest. The female therapists aren't young, but occasionally you get a young woman. Last time I got a woman named Pinky; she was quite overweight, but her massage skills were excellent. First, you go into a private room, take a shower, and then, of course, lie down fully clothed for the Thai massage. The oil massage starts from your feet and progresses upwards. The massage lasts about an hour and is very strong. The therapists speak Japanese quite well. Most of the therapists have lived in the area for a long time. The shower room is very old, but considering the price, it's really good. You can't complain when you get an oil massage for 7,000 yen. You can also get additional massages for a little extra money.
