Appreciate Nico's professional and comfortable massage! Im usually having pain on the right side of my body. She managed to identify it although I did not inform her in advance.

Message by ruby was great and environment was relaxing :)) will come back again. Shout out to Jason

Excellent massage by Zoe and Nico. As always, feel so rejuvenated after every session. Have been to Ikeda for ten years now. Still one of the best in my opinions for service, cleanliness and excellent massage services.

Always a great experience It is always a treat to go to Ikeda - the calmness when you step in helps you settle into the whole experience. I had the Inyou massage and it was fantastic; Marlyn was very attentive and got the pressure just right. She even was kind enough to get me a glass of water when I started coughing! I feel like I could relax fully and enjoy the treatment. Until next time!

Nico is very skilful & experience. She applied correct strength especially while massaging my legs. It makes my day! Thank you!

lily is very attentive

As usual, Kim is very skillful and experience. Thank you

It’s my first visit. The treatment provided by Marlyn is very good. She is very patient and caring. I enjoy my conversation With her.

Have a great massage experience with Ruby

This is my first time here experiencing the facial. This include light extraction and 2 hydrating mask! Worth for a try if you are around the area! Thanks to my therapist Lily for giving me a relaxing facial time!

Very shiok, we slept most of the time.

Always a relaxing experience Always a great, relaxing experience at Ikeda, with masseurs who are really good at massaging out knots. Marlyn in particular is great!

Great place for massage. Ruby is able to tell where my weak spots are and help me loosen them.

Experience I’ve been seeing Ruby for massages for quite some time. She’s very experienced, hardworking, and provides excellent service. I highly recommend her

Had a really relaxing 90min at Ikeda. Marlyn worked really hard on my stiff upper back and shoulders and it feels great!

Zoe was great. Good pressure. I will be back!

5-star Japanese Spa Experience – 3 Visits to Ikeda Spa Ikeda Spa has truly become one of my favorite sanctuaries to unwind, offering a serene, soothing atmosphere and authentic omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) right from the start—shoutout to Jason at reception and the friendly staff! Visit 1 (Kogao Facial & Body Care): My first visit set a high standard. Therapist Ai performed the Kogao Small Face Correction Facial; while the manual technique was quite painful at times, it was bearable and worth it for the noticeable sculpting and tension release. I also had a body scrub and wrap with Kim, leaving my skin smooth and glowing. Visit 2 (Couple Onsen & Massage): We booked a couple's room with an attached onsen and shower. Before starting, Marlyn kindly introduced us to a variety of hot spring bath salts and massage oils. The massage by Marlyn and Zoe was fantastic, with both hitting our preferred pressure perfectly. The experience felt like a mini vacation in Japan and the ultimate break in our busy lives. Visit 3 (Ganbanyoku Massage & Embellir Facial): On my latest visit, I tried the Ganbanyoku Detox Massage with Marlyn, which melted away deep stress. She was exceptionally attentive and ensured I was comfortable on the hot stone bed throughout the session. Thereafter, followed by the Embellir Anti-Aging Facial with an RF add-on by Ai, leaving my face firm and refreshed. Walking out feeling rejuvenated from head to toe. Thanks Ai, Kim, Marlyn, and Zoe for the amazing skill and care across every visit!

Kim is a great masseuse with good technique. Awesome experience, clean rooms and always a 5 star experience for each visit.

BEST Massage Therapist at IKEDA My experience at IKEDA Spa has been exceptional. Ruby is by far the best massage therapist I have ever had. From my very first visit, she was able to identify and effectively relieve my aches and pains with her exceptional skills and expertise. I have been a loyal customer of IKEDA Spa and Ruby for more than five years, and every session has been consistently excellent. Ruby is professional, attentive, and truly passionate about helping her clients feel their best. I highly recommend Ruby to anyone looking for a skilled and experienced massage therapist. If you’re visiting IKEDA Spa, be sure to book a session with her—you won’t be disappointed!

Body massage Very good massage with Nico who help relieved my muscle tension. Recommend the gonbanyaku (hot stone bed) massage.

Great body massage by Nico!
