From the first message, the communication was clear, welcoming, and professional. It made booking simple and helped me feel relaxed even before the massage started. Great experience overall.

Sharing the small joys of Fukuoka with eyes shaped by years abroad
Fukuoka City, Japan
In Miki's own words
Why I do this work: I trained as a Western-style massage therapist in Canada, then came home to Fukuoka and opened Kintsugi Spa. Every day at the spa, I talk with travelers from around the world. "Where should I eat tonight?" "I can't read the menu." "I'm alone — is it weird to walk into an izakaya?" I heard these questions over and over. I wanted to take guests not to guidebook restaurants, but to the places I actually go. That's why this food tour exists. Reset your body in the afternoon at Kintsugi. Walk Hakata's evenings with me at night. I hope this becomes the day you remember from your trip.
A message to my guests: First-time visitors, solo travelers, anyone nervous about navigating Japan in English — this is built for you. I'd be honored to help you walk Hakata's evenings with confidence.

Fantastic massage, very relaxing and atmospheric. Mikki was great! She is really friendly and hospitable and speaks great English, which was helpful for me as it's my first time in Japan. I'm very relaxed and my shoulders are feeling less tight! I would recommend arriving 10 mins before the appointment time as it takes a little while to find the entrance.

Miki is incredibly kind, attentive, and an ace at what she does. I had a lot of tension in my body and after the session with her, I felt so relaxed my body felt like jelly. I got the 60 minute Swedish Flow with Sparkling Scalp Massage – Summer Limited. Highly recommend coming here. I know I'm coming back when I'm next in Fukuoka.

Great place! My wife and I visited Kintsugi Spa twice in a span of a week while visiting Fukuoka. Junko, Miki & Yuka treated us with great care, warmth and kindness. Amazing massage - relaxing and soothing to our needs. Complimentary dango and best apple tea served at the end. We’ll sure be back next time we’re in town.

What an amazing experience! Miki and Kumi treated my partner and I with warmth and professionalism from start to finish. Miki speaks excellent English. We were thoughtfully greeted with waters and were provided delicious tea following the service. The massage was extremely excellent and possibly the best one I’ve ever had! You can really tell that they care about their craft and the service they provide. Would highly recommend to travellers seeking relaxation after a long flight!!

I visited this cozy massage shop during my trip to Fukuoka in December, and I’m so glad I found it. It’s not a big commercial spa — just a small, welcoming space where you immediately feel comfortable. The owner was so polite and kind, and she took the time to understand exactly what I needed before starting. The massage itself was refreshing and genuinely helped me unwind after days of walking around the city. The pressure was perfect — attentive and relaxing without ever feeling rushed. You can tell she really cares about her craft and the people who come through her door. This was one of the few massages I got while traveling, but it easily became the most memorable. I truly wish the very best for her and hope more people get to experience this little gem in Fukuoka.

I landed at night and tried a 60 minutes relaxation massage. Very professional and skillful. They stayed focused and they know how to apply force instead of forcing it. One of the top massage in my list. I tried different many massages in different countries, this one is really good. Next time I will do a 90 mins one.

We were pretty exhausted after two weeks of traveling and walking, so we were really craving some time to unwind. I came across Kintsugi Spa since it was close to our hotel, and I’m so glad we did. Miki and Chiaki took amazing care of us. The massage was incredible, and we felt completely relaxed from start to finish. It was exactly what our bodies needed. They served us tea and dango at the end, which was such a thoughtful touch. It honestly felt like the perfect way to wrap up our trip in Fukuoka. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re here. Arigato gozaimasu!
