— The only salon in Japan —

Where every tradition
meets in one master

Korgi bone contouring and beauty acupuncture performed in a single session. Urasenke tea ceremony by a lineage holder. Your personal aroma blended from Japanese astrology. A Yakuzen beauty recipe from a clinically trained dietitian.

This is not a spa. This is not a beauty salon. This is Japan, distilled.

01

Two disciplines,
one session

Korgi bone contouring and beauty acupuncture are usually performed at different salons. Here, they're combined in a single seamless treatment — a pairing made possible only because our practitioner trained as an esthetician for over two decades before earning her acupuncture license.

02

Tea ceremony
by a master

Our founder holds the tea name Sōshin (宗真), bestowed by her own grandmother — an Urasenke Grand Master. You won't just drink matcha. Under her program, you'll whisk your own, learning the 400-year-old art in the process.

03

Beauty from
body, mind & spirit

Your Gogyō element and Kyūsei Kigaku astrology reading. Your personally blended aroma oil. Your Yakuzen recipe prescribed by a nationally certified dietitian. You don't just leave with better skin. You leave transformed.

Two masters.
One vision.

Both are instructors at Fukuoka Iken Professional School — training the next generation of beauty acupuncturists. Together, they hold 8 national licenses.

Assessment

Mirror Check &
Professional Consultation

Observe your face in the mirror — your symmetry, your lines, your skin. Then, a thorough consultation with our lead practitioner, who also holds licenses in psychology and dietetics. Your personalized path begins here.

— 10 minutes
01
Transformation

Change into Samue

Slip into a Samue — traditional Japanese zen wear worn by monks and artisans for centuries. From this moment, your everyday self stays behind, and your ritual begins.

— 5 minutes
02
Signature ritual

Gogyō Reading &
Personal Aroma Blending

Just as Western astrology uses your birthday to reveal your zodiac, Eastern medicine uses it to reveal your Gogyō (Five Elements) type. Your practitioner hand-blends an aroma oil exclusively for your element — a fragrance designed for you and no one else.

— 10 minutes
03
Purification

Onsen Mineral
Foot Bath

Soak in warm water enriched with carefully selected Japanese hot spring minerals. Foot bathing (Ashiyu) is one of Japan's most beloved wellness traditions. This is your private onsen moment.

— 10 minutes
04
Release

Japanese Head
Massage

Your scalp and face share the same connected tissue. By releasing deep tension in the scalp, we create natural lifting, reduce puffiness, and promote the kind of calm that shows on your skin.

— 10 minutes
05
Sculpting

Korgi Bone
Contouring

Our practitioner sculpts your face at the skeletal level — adjusting bone alignment, releasing muscle tension, reshaping your face line. Structure, not surface. The foundation for everything that follows.

— 15 minutes
06
Rejuvenation

Beauty Acupuncture
+ Micro-current + Biyō-Kyū

Ultra-fine needles (0.12mm — thinner than a human hair) at strategic facial points, enhanced with gentle micro-current to amplify collagen production. Then our original Biyō-Kyū moxibustion layers warmth onto the stimulation. Results you can see immediately.

— 25 minutes
07
Warmth

Hakokyu
Box Moxibustion

A wooden box filled with burning moxa is placed on your abdomen, delivering gentle, sustained warmth that penetrates to your core. No risk of burns — only profound, wrapping heat.

— 10 minutes
08
Luxury

Gemstone
Hot Stone Therapy

Lie upon a surface of real amethyst, tourmaline, jade, and Japanese medicinal stones. Far-infrared rays and negative ions penetrate deep, promoting detoxification. Healing through the earth's most precious minerals.

— 10 minutes
09
Ceremony

Hands-on
Tea Ceremony

Under the program designed by our Urasenke-certified founder, you will learn to whisk your own matcha — discovering the movements, the posture, the philosophy. Savor your creation with premium seasonal wagashi. This is not a demonstration. This is you, making tea.

— 10 minutes

Nourishment

Yakuzen
Recipe Consultation

As a nationally registered dietitian with hospital clinical experience and deep Kampo knowledge, your practitioner prescribes a personalized Yakuzen (medicinal cuisine) recipe based on your element, your skin, and your life.

Treasures

Take-home
Gifts

Your personal Gogyō Card. A sheet of self-acupuncture for continued care. Your Yakuzen recipe card in beautiful packaging. Before & after photos sent to your phone. Gifts that continue your ritual after you return home.

— Yours to keep

Discover your
element

In Western astrology, your birthday determines your zodiac sign. In Eastern medicine, your birthday reveals something deeper — your Gogyō (五行), or Five Element type. This 1,200-year-old system guides not just personality, but which scents harmonize with your energy, which foods nourish you, and where your body needs support.

Wood
Fire
Earth
Metal
Water

Your element will be calculated from your birthday at your appointment, and your personal aroma will be blended on the spot. You'll leave with your own Gogyō Card — a keepsake showing your element, your recommended foods, and your signature scent.

"An extraordinary experience. The combination of acupuncture, tea ceremony, and the aroma blending was unlike anything I've ever done. My face visibly changed in one session."

Guest review example
★★★★★ · South Korea

"I've tried korgi in Seoul many times, but combined with acupuncture here, it's on another level. Worth the trip from Korea just for this."

Guest review example
★★★★★ · Australia

"The gemstone therapy, the hand-whisked matcha, the personalized recipe to take home — this isn't a beauty treatment. This is a pilgrimage."

Questions, answered.

Does the acupuncture hurt?

Our needles are 0.12mm — thinner than a human hair. Most guests feel nothing at all. Some describe a warm, tingling sensation. Your practitioner has performed thousands of treatments and adjusts to your comfort level.

Do you speak English?

Our practitioner speaks basic English. For detailed consultation, we use a professional translation device. All written materials (Gogyō card, recipe cards, instructions) are provided in English. Chinese and Korean support available on request.

How far in advance should I book?

We strongly recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance, especially during cherry blossom (March–April), autumn (October–November), and around Japanese holidays. Same-day bookings are sometimes possible.

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

None. You can apply makeup immediately. You'll leave glowing — many guests go straight to dinner or sightseeing after their session.

Can men book this experience?

Absolutely. All treatments are fully suitable for all genders. We regularly welcome male guests from around the world.

What payment methods do you accept?

Visa · Mastercard · Amex · JCB · Alipay · WeChat Pay · Apple Pay · Cash (JPY)

What's your cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your appointment. Since this is a fully private session, same-day cancellations may incur a fee.

I have a medical condition. Can I still book?

Please let us know in advance. Our lead practitioner holds a clinical psychology license and has hospital experience as a dietitian, so we can discuss your situation carefully. Pregnancy, serious heart conditions, or recent surgery may require modification or postponement.
