Date of Encounter:
Various over past weeks
Contact Method:
Walk-in
Appointment Length & Costs:
From 8,000 JPY/hour to 14,000 JPY 2 hours, no upselling
Type/Location:
Incall AMP in Nihonbashi. Accurate Google map on website
Language Notes:
No problem for the non-Nihongo speaker. Proprietress Yumi speaks serviceable English. Internationally accepted sign language with some.
Details of the Encounter:
This is the first in a series of reviews of what Tokyo has to offer to the experienced monger with zero Japanese skills. Which would be me. Having lived and practiced the pastime around the world, I now settled in this beautiful city, which sadly has received a reputation for keeping its charms to itself. This series of “Fun without nihongo” will help you overcome rejection. Today, we will visit Nihonbashi-Kayabacho Esthe＆Massage a.k.a Aroma Queen .
I found this place through a posting by Tokidoki (domo!) and I found his description quite accurate. Of course, like always, there are slight nuances depending on the technician …
Aroma Queen (hereon AQ) is an incall massage parlor, situated in what looks like a former apartment in Nihonbashi in downtown Tokyo. It is easily accessible from either the Nihombashi or Kayabacho subway stations. The time-pressed traveler can reach it via direct train from Haneda. Had no problem finding it. There is a lift to the 6th floor. There is another shop (Luna Rose) on the 5th, unrelated. Did not try, does not come recommended.
I came as an unannounced walk-in a few times, had no problem receiving immediate attention. On Friday nights, I’d call ahead. I was always greeted in a very friendly manner, and always by females. No gruff tencho involved.
The AQ massage routine differs pleasantly from the usual. It’s a “body wash” place, but at AQ you won’t land on a naugahyde-covered bench, to be attacked with rough bristles that take your skin off. At AQ, you descend on a futon which is covered with a waterproof blanket. Turn over, close your eyes. You will be treated with soft foam, and with very delicate gentle strokes. You also won’t beg as usual that they should stop wasting time with massages, and to get to the essential parts. Your parts will receive attention very early. Flop over, more gentle treatment. This comes as close to real Tantra as possible in Japan (if someone knows where to get Tantra in Tokyo, pls leave a comment.)
Don’t come yet. When the full frontal foaming and gentle touching is finished, you will be invited to take a shower. Another break from the usual routine: You shower 1/3rd into the “treatment,” which gives you a chance to calm down.
Once showered and back on the futon (now without the waterproof cover), you will receive an extremely sensuous massage that focuses on your erogenous touch points instead on rearranging your backs and legs. For connoisseurs of the prostate treatment – that is on offer, and it was provided without a surcharge, and without requesting it. The masseuse simply gauged the reaction to gentle probing. Probably differs from technician to technician. This is a general write-up, and I may critique the handiwork of individual techs in further installments.
The ladies did react positively to gentle and respectful touching. Again, some are less shy, some more. As usual, it helps to turn into a steady customer, and to establish a rapport.
The final finale was always properly timed with the end of the session.
AQ has a small cadre of regular technicians, all young and in their twenties. The regulars are augmented by often changing students and part-timers. Their website sometimes charmingly lags behind the new arrivals, but after a few visits, I was told of impending new arrivals.
I am a friend of extended sessions, I once had a three hour one with a change of masseuses. Four hand treatment (at double the charge) also is available, but I naturally recommend to call ahead and book for that.
The price of 8,000 JPY for the hour and 14,000 for two is a bargain in Tokyo. There has been no up-selling.
Based on decades of experience, and while considering value for money, I’d give AQ a 10. In the matter of a few weeks, I have become a steady customer of AQ, to the detriment of my usual haunts, which I shall cover in further installments of “Fun without Nihongo.”
