Molto professionali e accoglienti. Il massaggio shatsu é stato bellissimo e il massaggiatore ha compreso i miei punti più "doloranti" spiegandomi come correggere la mia postura. Il posto inoltre é bellissimo. Lo consiglio

I have been traveling for a week and my body was very tired. Legs were ache, stiff shoulder, and overall weak energy. Went in, they did acupuncture and pressure massage. Amazing experience. I did 60 min and felt no time was wasted. I would do longer one next time. I was surprised I didn't have any calf pain I had for past few days after the session. Therapist constantly check if pressure is too much since it does require quite a bit of force. Just ask to back off little bit if you are not comfortable. I enjoy tolerable pain when I receive massage and this place was a perfect place. Definitely recommend to anyone.

After traveling around Japan and walking over 20,000 steps a day, my feet, legs, and back were very sore. The massage at Tanden Kyoto really helped and even released some neck tension I didnt realize i had from my office job. The staff spoke excellent English, which was especially helpful when they finished by teaching me different exercises to continue at home.

Amazing experience! We happened to find this on accident and so glad we did! Noda & Hayato were so welcoming and kind. The massage and realignment helped so much, they are the best and are very professional. Thank you both so much! Best memory made on our trip!

What a great experience! They really take their time to educate you on the processes and techniques before starting. Making sure you feel comfortable and at ease. I had acupuncture, massage and an adjustment and it was the best I've ever had. HIGHLY recommended!

The session begins with a very detailed questionnaire on my physical and mental state. This allows us to establish an assessment of the 5 vital elements and to guide the treatment accordingly. I had an acupuncture session which went very well despite my apprehension about this part. I was able to have a shiatsu session which allowed me to improve my back posture and remove knots. I highly recommend, a very professional and attentive team who know how to put you at ease. recommend it dadal

I had a wonderful experience at Tandem Kyoto with acupuncture and shiatsu massage. The skilled staff not only helped me relax but also improved my posture. I left feeling refreshed and balanced. Highly recommend!

The place itself is a two storied historical japanese town house. Very cozy atmosphere before and after the massage. The guy who performed my treatment explained so many things about my physical condition that I wasn't even aware of and then proceeded to fix my posture and shoulder positioning in my case. I booked the two hours course, inclusive of acupuncture, shiatsu, seitai and more. The staff spoke English throughout the whole experience and was able to accommodate my feedbacks regarding the ongoing massage and practices. Would definitely go again!

Very educational | learned a lot about my natural healing in correspondence to my heart, liver, spleen, kidney, and lungs. I enjoyed the acupuncture, massage, and alignment. I was sent home with a list of helpful foods to eat to help my body function better. The alignment was not like the American chiropractor I anticipate but still a nice stretch. The staff was very kind gentle and friendly.
Very professional.
