Olive Spa

Olive Spa is a high quality Japanese spa that offers a variety of services at several locations across the country, including aromatherapy (oil massage), body stretch therapy, and deep tissue massage. With some of the most beautiful treatment rooms, as well as specialty rooms of an even higher caliber, you know you’re in for some luxurious time at Olive Spa.

Foreign visitors may initially have slight reservations about whether Olive Spa is a legitimate massage business due to their 4 AM closing time and some of the language on their English website pages. For example they talk about a “sensuous experience,” “Asian healing,” and have many details about relaxing in their special rooms that include showers. However, upon further research, it becomes clear they are a massage-only establishment, and a very professional one at that. If you check out our guide on how to tell if a Japanese massage place is legit, they tick a lot of boxes. They mention their requirement to wear paper shorts for all oil massages on their site, they clarify their massage-only policy during their check in process, and as one realizes after spending some time in Japan, being open very late is quite common… and very convenient for those who work late. Having been their several times, we can also confirm we received nothing but excellent massages, professional service, and great hospitality.

Olive Spa has a range of skilled therapists so you can feel confident you’ll be well taken care of. If you find someone you like, they also have the option to select a specific therapist as well, as we did for what ended up being our 2024 best massage experience in Japan.
