REVIEWS

On October 23rd, my massage appointment went wonderfully. Tamami was both careful and firm, providing just the right balance to ensure a deeply relaxing and effective session. Her technique made a lasting impression, giving me the ideal experience. Highly recommend!

Incredibly relaxing, and Tamami was very professional! Her technique and pressure were brilliant. Thank you.

Excellent massage: the therapist knows what they’re doing and works on every area thoroughly and with the right intensity. I’ve spent the last three years in Thailand, so I can confidently guarantee the high quality of Thai massage at this place.

What a wonderful find. After spending many days walking around Kyoto, my back and body needed a reset. Thankfully I found RIKYU near my hotel. I contacted them easily on WhatsApp for a reservation. Tamami provided a gentle and precise treatment. My body feels relaxed and balanced. Much looser than I can ever remember. I highly recommend reaching out for treatment. Very relaxing and calming.

Sana gave me the most wonderful 2 hour massage today! I had the Thai oil massage + head/face. She was so gracious, kind, comforting, and talented. Such a nice treat while in Kyoto! So grateful for Sana’s work.

Amazing experience! Sana was fantastic and the staff is very friendly. Much needed after a few days of walking many steps. Very clean and organized space. Highly recommend!

Accommodated both my friend and I at the same time (two different rooms). The floor mat was very comfortable and loved the feeling of the pressure and movement of the Thai massage. Great! Booked last minute via instagram messaging.

Incredibly relaxing experience and expertly given massage. The abdominal massage could not have been better and I’m sure I’ll feel the positive effects for weeks to come

After averaging 20k steps/day my family needed a massage. Looked on Google and TikTok for a place. Private rooms. Very quiet location. Accommodated 3 of us the next day for 90 minutes. Great therapists. Relaxing and gentle. Staff was very nice.
Multilingual. Worth the cab ride and price. Would’ve went another time if found earlier. Arigato!

Look no further but here! It’s been a long journey for the past two weeks visiting Japan coming from the United States.
Exploring, walking around everywhere and eating everything has been great through throughout Japan. From Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe & now Kyoto. I’m glad I was able to make some time here in Kyoto and to stop by Rikyu Thai Massage. To have met Tamami, the wonderful Rikyu therapist and her healing. I’m glad I was able to try out the abdominal massage as I have never tried it before and I must say it is a must for our guts to detox and to cleanse, followed by a session of a body massage to relax.

I definitely felt welcome here when I first got in and also care with the healing provided throughout the whole session. If I had only found out about this place sooner than I would’ve came here earlier to book a longer session. I will definitely be sure to visit and have a longer session of two hours or more next time! My body needs it and I’m sure everyone needs it and can make use of the healing. Definitely make time to take care of yourself and your body. A great place to be rejuvenated again with great energy and service. I definitely miss it already being back just a few days in the states. If I was only closer, I would definitely come back here every month for this rejuvenation and balance.

Be sure to check out their herbal Yahom drink. Great way to cleanse and detox. I only wish I had gotten more. I will definitely stock up next time :)
Thank you for everything Tamami & Rikyu massage. Best wishes!
