When I went looking for an esthetic / men's esthetic (men's esthe, menesu) in Sapporo, I listed out several shops. If I'm honest about why I ultimately chose Yamitsuki Esthe Shibuya-ten, it's because the phone manner was the most courteous.
60-minute course, ¥6,000. Shibuya area. Open 12:00 to 5:00, and same-day booking was available.
On the Facilities and Environment
In an esthetic/aroma experience, the quality of the facilities is a factor you can't ignore. Especially in the format where the girl comes to you, the state of the room directly affects the whole experience.
The hotel that Yamitsuki Esthe Shibuya-ten specified tonight was within walking distance of Shibuya. The exterior had a vibe somewhere between a love hotel and a business hotel, with an unobtrusive sign. It's a spot that's hard to find if you don't walk the area regularly—but I take that as "consideration for the customer." A place that doesn't need to stand out is best left unobtrusive.
The check-in front desk was automated. A setup with minimal human contact is welcome for this kind of use. The room was on the larger side for a single, and the bed size was no problem. The climate control was working, and the temperature was easy to adjust.
The bathroom was clean. Fresh towels, a full set of amenities. Hotels that have these obvious basics covered are, in fact, surprisingly rare. There's a clear difference in cleanliness, and it bears directly on the quality of the experience. When the room is in good shape, you can focus on your time with the girl. Conversely, when the room is bothering you, you can't concentrate no matter how good the girl is.
When the facilities are in order, you can focus on the time with the girl. On that point Yamitsuki Esthe Shibuya-ten had no problems. Her movements once she arrived were smooth, too—she moved with a grasp of the room's layout. The way someone moves when they're used to how hotels are built. ¥6,000 for 60 minutes—environment included, it was a choice that felt right.
Impression of Reception
The phone manner is the shop's "face." Yamitsuki Esthe Shibuya-ten's reception hit nearly all the checkpoints I use to judge a shop as "good."
First, how they answer questions. A reception that doesn't just stop at "we have 60 and 90 minutes" in response to "what length courses do you have?" is a courteous one. Here, they added a breakdown of the fees and even the current roster status.
When I told them the type I was after, they proposed two of the girls on staff today. The "hand you options" format gives the customer the initiative, and I have a favorable impression of it.
The 60 Minutes I Spent with the Girl
The girl who came matched the phone explanation almost exactly in impression. Years of experience have taught me how hard it is for "the person who was described to actually show up."
Within the 60 minutes, the balance between talking and staying quiet was natural. The conversation could lapse without it getting awkward—that comes down to her skill at "reading the pauses."
Price and Overall Rating
¥6,000 for 60 minutes. As an esthetic/aroma price in the Sapporo area, it felt right. Not excessively high, not so cheap that quality drops—right at that sweet spot.
