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.
