Market price
Typical rates for gay / men-focused massage in Japan
What it usually costs
In major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, the standard rate for a 60-minute massage at a male-focused or gay massage studio typically ranges from ¥6,000 to ¥12,000.
By comparison, walk-in chain massage shops that cater to the general public often offer 60-minute sessions for about ¥3,000 to ¥6,000, so gay massage studios are generally priced somewhat higher.
The actual fee depends on factors such as the type of massage, whether the treatment covers the whole body or just specific areas (e.g., back only), the size and quality of the studio, and whether additional charges are included—for example, outcall transportation fees or a private room fee.
As a rule of thumb, you can expect to pay the base course fee plus an extra few thousand yen for transportation if it’s an outcall service. Always check the official website for up-to-date details before making a reservation.

FAQs About Gay Massage in Japan
Do I need to make a reservation in advance?
Yes, in most cases reservations are required. Many gay massage spas in Japan are small, privately run studios with limited slots. We recommend booking at least one or two days in advance, especially during weekends and holidays.
How much does a gay massage cost in Japan?
Prices vary depending on the city and type of massage. In Tokyo and Osaka, a 60-minute session usually costs between ¥8,000–¥12,000 (USD 55–85). Some spas also offer longer courses or optional add-ons. Always confirm whether tax or service fees are included.
Can I pay by credit card?
Some spas accept credit cards or mobile payments, but many still prefer cash (Japanese yen). It’s safest to bring cash just in case.
Do therapists speak English?
Not all therapists speak fluent English. However, many shops are used to serving foreign clients and can handle simple English for booking and instructions. Some websites and booking forms are also available in English.
Is tipping required in Japan?
No, tipping is not common in Japan. The service charge is already included in the price. If you feel extremely satisfied, a small gesture is appreciated but not expected.
What should I expect during my first visit?
After arriving, you’ll usually take a shower, change into a towel or provided clothing, and then enjoy a private one-on-one massage session. The exact flow may vary depending on the spa. Most sessions are conducted in private rooms for comfort and privacy.
Is it safe and hygienic?
Yes, reputable spas maintain a high level of cleanliness. Fresh towels and linens are provided for each client, and shower facilities are usually available. Always check reviews and choose spas with good reputations.
How do I find the spa location easily?
Most shops are located near major train stations. Directions, nearest exits, and Google Maps links are usually provided. Japan’s addresses can be confusing, so it’s best to use a map app and allow extra time for finding the location.
Are there age restrictions?
Yes. You must be at least 20 years old (the legal adult age in Japan) to use these services.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Cancellation policies vary by spa. Some may charge a fee for last-minute cancellations, while others are more flexible. Always check the policy when booking and contact the spa as soon as possible if your plans change.
