EZ Shiatsu Massage

Great massage and really affordable pricing. They use traditional Japanese style so it can be a little pointed at times but it’s a good stretch. I like the woman best but the other two guys are good too.

I’ve been going to EZ Shiatzu and getting massages from Tom for about 7 years now. The truth is that Tom is a healer. He does serious body work that’s no frills, and it’s worth double what he charges. I’ve suffered with tendinitis, pinched nerves, and major stress, and Tom is always helpful. Don’t let the name make you think this is like the fast-​food service in massage. It’s not; it’s the real deal. They do take walk-​ins, but Tom has clientele who have been going to him for a decade or more, so it’s wise to make an appointment.

I generally do not review to complain about a service. However, I called in to see if they had an open slot for massage. They told me I could walk right in so I told them I would be there in 15 – 20 minutes. When I arrived they told me they were booked and I could come back in an hour. When I told them that I had just called in the lady told me that she knows, but someone else arrived.
I did not receive a massage so I don’t have any review of their actual service, just a waste of time coming here after calling to confirm that they had an opening.

When I had an ache in my upper back, Mr. Metoki was able to help get rid of it. At one point I was so relaxed that I farted! Pretty embarrassing, but that’s how good it was. I’m sure he’s used to dealing with that though.
Anyway, I often think about that treatment and how I’ve never been able to get that at any other massage place I’ve been to.

Massages are my jam. They keep me going, and make me a more pleasant person to deal with. Plus, they are just awesome. A good massage will keep me on a high for days, and a bad one will anger me at the wasted opportunity.
Tom gives a great massage. This business is a mom-​and-​pop shiatsu stop in the heart of little tokyo, on the second floor of Honda Plaza. Tom has been doing massages for decades now, and is so skillful at knowing what the human body needs. He has clients who have been seeing him for as long as he has been doing massages, a testament to his skill. His shop is no-​frills, good, massage. You change into comfortable cotton clothes behind a screen and then he goes to work! Gentle and hard pin-​pointed pressure. He asks at the beginning of each session what hurts, any complaints, etc. and works through each one. He never gyps you on your full hour (1 hr for $ 60), which starts after you lie down, not when you get into his shop. He isn’t scared to use hard pressure (standing on your back, etc., as necessary), but doesn’t do so gratuitously. He will also be very honest with you, telling you whether you need to see a doctor for a problem he can’t work out for you, or need to come back next week to finish, or not until another month for maintenance. He also is scarily accurate with when the pain will come (from releasing all those built up toxins) and when it will subside. He knows his stuff.
He also does house calls for the same price. (OH WHAT! Yes. In house massage for $ 60 an hour). Not to mention he is the gentlest, sweetest guy ever!
Come here and you won’t regret it.
