Field Diary
I was hunting for an esthetic / men's esthetic in Tokyo when I landed on Ginza PRIME. Here's a straight account of the 100-minute session.

A field report from Mens Este Gotanda @ Kanojo wa Esthetician in Tokyo. I chose the 70-minute, ¥17,000 course and wrote up what it was like, honestly.

Honestly, for a long time I had no appetite for traveling all the way out to Saitama from the city. I won't deny there was a 'why bother' feeling to it. But the night I walked into Shinshi no Tashinami, that 'why bother' vanished completely.

Explaining what a foam body-wash esthetic actually is takes some work. It isn't soapland, it isn't delivery health. Some things you just have to experience to get. Shinjuku's Gohoubi SPA is the prime example.

Aroma Sentai 2 — a place I'd wanted to try once if I ever got to Fukuoka. I went and checked it out on the 90-minute, ¥17,000 course.

Honestly, I had a bias against men's esthetic for the longest time — an assumption that it was all a 'cheap imitation.' The place that broke that down was Gotanda's AROMA TIGER. This time I'll tell that story.

Nurse to Joi no Shucho Massage is an esthetic / men's esthetic (menzu esute) whose name comes up often in Naha. I actually used the 110-minute course and put together an honest impression.
Men's esthetic (menesu) is a men-only relaxation service built on oil massage, extending to erogenous-zone work, usually done semi- or fully nude.
Generally ¥10,000–20,000 for 60 minutes; pricier in the cities (Tokyo ¥13,000–25,000). 90- and 120-minute courses are common.
