Mr. Shin received guests in a quiet corner of one of Tokyo's most lively neighborhoods, Shinjuku, opposite a shrine and a park, of which his office offers lovely views - somehow very soothing. He is truly expert (and attentive) at his craft and keeps learning and offering new techniques. I have been a regular client of his for the past six years. Suffice it to report that once you've experienced Mr. Shin's massage services, you'll never need or want to go anywhere else.

I had been suffering from a strained and chronically annoying/ painful back for that week and decided to visit a place of skilled masseur. Although it was a same day request, I could manage to book ParkSideHealing. I would say, in short, his services were one of the best massages I've ever received and there are a lot to tell in detail. His treatment was all the time attentive to my needs and was full of unexpected body-conditional movements of my body parts... It wasn't like just an aromatic massage or a deep tissue massage but a combination of them. Me slept surprisingly well that night may be a good proof of how much I felt relaxed and comfortable with his services.

I have had a lot of massages in my life. I can attest that Mr. Shin is the best. I had 90 min with him. They way he built the suspense till the end, just amazing. It is worth every penny.

Both my partner and and I had a massage with Shin. We have had a lot of them whilst on our travels and this was up there with the best. All my issues were addressed during the massage. If I were a local I would keep coming back.

This guy could work his way around my body!

During my stay in Tokyo I was looking for a good massage and came across Park Side Healing through travel gay Asia I was impressed his technique and friendly service as many of reviews here Shin really knows the spots that feel good to be massaged and utilized all different techniques to make it very interesting to wait for the patient to find out what the next steps are. Park Side Healing is a must-visit when you are in Tokyo! I will come back again to this Japanese hunk, Shin-san

I’ve been living in Tokyo for quite some time, but this is the first time I’ve had a gay massage here, and the experience blew me away. Shin’s finger pressure is very strong and might be painful at first, but the pleasure that comes afterwards is very soothing and relaxing. My body feels lighter and several years younger after the session. Plus, Shin has a cute teddy bear smile that made me feel at home. I’d like to visit him again if I have the chance.

I visited Tokyo last month and booked an appointment for some sore back muscles. The session started with body reposturing techniques that literally changed my posture. I felt so loose and relaxed on a physical level immediately. Then we moved to the massage table and I was blown away by the sensitivity of his touch, how he knew exactly what needed attention. He helped me release so much tension that I was holding everywhere. If I lived in Tokyo, I would see him every month. It's worth every penny.

I read Mr Shin's reviews and they are all true! Very efficient booking system via email, clear directions to his place and a very high quality service. From the moment I arrived Mr Shin made me feel at home. I chose my preferred oil with his advice. I have had many messages all over Asia and have muscular pains from gym and sports. Mr Shin gave one of the best messages I have ever had - very strong and deep but also soothing too. Thank you Mr Shin! I highly recommend Park Side Healing!

Shin is the real deal. I live in Tokyo and have been coming to Shin once a month at least for over a year. I'm a massage junkie and have indulged in massages in Thailand and Vietnam and across SE Asia. Shin is consistently the most reliable and dedicated masseur I have found. What I love about his massages is that you know what you'll get - each time the sequence of moves and techniques are exactly the same. So whether it's your first time or your fifth time Shin delivers a quality massage that leaves you floating out of his salon. His salon is modest and compact but private, discrete and clean. Shin is obviously trained well and experienced. Each time he will find the tightness you want to be worked on and apply that extra care and attention to any specific tensions you might have. He is a true therapist, a technician, a gentleman and a warm and caring spirited person. Search high and low. You'll find it difficult to find a masseur like Shin. Arigato gozaimasu Shin san.

He doesn't accept clients weighing more than 240 lbs according to the website. It's 2017, for crying our loud!

Travelled to Tokyo again and was lucky to get a session with Shin. As always, he is very accommodating. Session: He spent time on ensuring areas of your body needing attention is taken care of. Never knew the neck muscle could cause so much stress until Shin massages and releases the 'knots' away. I am one who is afraid of neck 'cracking' but the way he handled it, I just let go and trusted his skillful hands. He seems to know where is painful and where is painfully good. For a massage addict like myself, being able to sleep soundly after a good session is a must. Good job Shin and I will definitely return. Enjoy your vacation!

This is a late posting - I unfortunately forgot to do this sooner. But I had a wonderful massage session with Shin in October 2016. As many note, his location is great for travelers. Easy to find given his clear instructions. The facility is nice, simple, clean. And the massage is fantastic. Deeply therapeutic, relaxing and energizing - a strange combination that works. A great value for the investment in time and money to seek out Shin. I'll hope to have another session when next in Tokyo.

While I was visiting Tokyo, I decided to get a massage from Shin based on the reviews here. And the reviews were absolutely on point. I got a massage with reflexology. It was fantastic.

I travel all over and have experienced all types of massages. This one is close to the best. I like deep massage and he was strong and calculated. So good I'll be seeing him again before I leave.

Booked a last minute request for a massage session and Shin was prompt in replying. The session was superb. Location: Easy to find and very clear directions given by Shin. If you book a session, he will send you a mail, complete with photos and how to get to his place. You won't get lost for sure. Service: He really worked on my stiff back and shoulders which needed much attention. It's the first time that I've had a hot towel placed on my neck while he worked on my back. It is really a relaxing experience. Apart from that, after the back massage, again a hot towel was placed on my back. It really helps in relaxing the muscle and pain. His skills is beyond my expectation. If you're into massages to get the knots off, Shin is the guy. He kept checking if the pressure is alright and knows exactly which area of your body needed to be taken care of. Facilities and Cleanliness: Nice, simple and clean place. You will be welcomed in choosing your oils and a cup of tea will be offered, before and after the session. A nice touch to compliment the massage session. You will be given a towel before and after the session. There is shower facilities too. Overall: Friendly guy and location was easy to find. His massage skills shows that he is a trained expert. I would definitely come again if I'm in Tokyo. Thank you for the wonderful session.

Truly one of the best massages I have ever had. I did Course C and my it was bliss! Shin is very welcoming and immediately makes you feel relaxed. He is very strong and very skilled at what he does. I highly recommend Shin if you are visiting or you live in Tokyo.

As an overseas visitor to Japan, there is a lot of time walking, sitting and sleeping in beds of differing comfort. A massage is usually handy to relieve the sore muscles and joints associated with travel. I sought out Shin via this site, and followed the request at his website. Shin was responsive and very professional. He provided clear instructions on how to to get to his studio. Once there, he immediately made you feel at ease with the clean, comfortable surroundings and his friendly, professional demeanour. His technique was excellent, with sustained strength/pressure, and thorough. My first visit was for Body Tuning (C), and based on its quality, I returned to have the same with reflexology (J). In addition, as I don't speak Japanese, Shin's ability to communicate in English was appreciated. For visitors to Tokyo, I highly recommend a massage with Shin. It is well worth it.

I would say it's the best place to get a real massage in the area. So many times been there already and never been disappointed. Super professional with a tidy room. I even feel comfortable when I get good feedback from friends who I introduced this place to.

Fabulous massage, very good pressure, Shin in an excellent professional; one of the top three massages I have ever had. efficiency and helpful. You have to go during a busy stay in Tokyo. Good location. Easy to book.

Master Shin has given me a very good massage experience and I was totally relaxed. The place is easy to find, as the facilities are clean. Recommended.

After 3 months of living in Japan I really was looking for a good massage and Shin was fantastic. My massage was strong which was perfect. Shinjuku managed to find all the knots in my back. The place was clean, welcoming and easy to find. Highly recommended.

I just came back from ParkSide this evening. Amazing touch and other skills. Trust me! You will never forget~

I've been a loyal customer ever since I started going to Shin-san a year ago. In terms of massage skills, the professional level is comparable to hotel spas and sports facilities for athletes. I recommend course C. 110 minutes worth of sports massage and oil treatment! And it helps that I live just a walking distance from Shin-san's place. So when ever I feel sore (particularly on my shoulders and lower back), I go to Shin for quality massage. If you are visiting Tokyo, or if you are already in Tokyo and need an awesome relaxation, contact Shin and you will never regret it!

Shin-san is very very professional therapist. I was having problems with my shoulder. I have tried many places, but it could not get better! He found the problem and he explained what might be the problem. I took the course G, I thought it was a little expensive at the beginning but after the session it was worth it! I definitely go back to do it again and again! I could not agree more with the previous reviews! Everybody is spot on! Highly recommended!

I found the website through travelgayasia and saw many good review. Made an appointment as soon as I landed, very simple and fast. I choose course C - great value, The massage is very good, especially after a long flight. Combine with a relax atmosphere that make you totally relax. My tight muscle was loosen up by Shin and I feel better the next day. Shin was very friendly and helpful, he makes you feel at home. I will definitely comes back when I visit Tokyo again.

Booked a massage with Shin whilst in town on holiday. He responded almost immediately, his place was easy to find and the massage was EXCELLENT. Full body massage with attention to every muscle group. He found all my tense spots and I felt completely relaxed when I left. Highly recommended!

I dropped by Park Side Healing during my business trip coz it was close to my company preferred hotel in Shijuku. Beside its convenient location, I like the services. I tend to have leg swelling and he was consultative and responsive to my request by focusing on strong oil massage over my legs. I felt my shoes larger when I left after the massage.

I decided to get the massage here by this site's reviews, and those are exact feedback. Very near to the hotels in Shinjuku, five minutes walk from my hotel and three minutes walk from the subway station. The massage by Shin-san was powerful but gentle, feeling a sense of ease. You can throw your body into his arms and fingers. Also he is friendly and easygoing. Strongly recommended.

This is one of places that I will keep in my mind where I could felt relaxed and comfortable. His tech was nice for sure but I loved his customer-oriented attitude above all. He actually helped me a lot when I was lost on my way to the salon. These are the reasons I will remember his salon among many gay popular places in Tokyo.

Incredible fully body deep massage followed by oil massage. Shin-san is lovely, professional, gentle in person, powerful in hands, and uses his whole (hunky) body to really get into the muscles deep. Highly recommended.

I often travel Japan on biz and have visited a lot gay massage salons but I would recommend this place because he was really responsive to what I felt exhausted. Also I was given a moment of comfy and refreshment wrapped by his gentle massage in a friendly manner.

I've found this salon via this web site, because expected to get relax after and before many-hours flights to Europe. Very good experience: the massage was professional and gently. Pre-booking requested, because information about how to find was attached to email. Not easy to find, but Mr Shin kindly met me on the street. The salon is small, but convenience. It was very nice to get massage and relaxing from Mr Shin and I expect to be back next time and recommend for nice relaxation.

I happened to see his website on the Internet and his salon was very closed to my hotel in Shinjuku. I was so exhausted from a week of my busy business schedule in Tokyo. Not having had good luck with any massage therapists in Japan, I was not expecting much. To my surprise, however, the massage was great. It is a real deal and it was not the typical gay massages that mainly focus on the erotic aspect of it but not on the therapeutic aspect. Recommended!!
