ZenTouch Japan

About Our Team

Dedicated specialists in Japanese massage therapy and wellness

Our Story

ZenTouch Japan was founded in 2018 with a singular mission: to bring authentic Japanese massage techniques to a global audience. Our journey began when our founder Yuki Tanaka, after studying traditional therapies across Japan for over a decade, recognized the need to preserve and share these ancient healing arts.

What started as a small blog has grown into a community of practitioners, educators, and enthusiasts committed to promoting the health benefits of Japanese massage techniques. Our team combines traditional knowledge with modern understanding of anatomy and physiology to provide accurate, insightful content.

Today, we are proud to be one of the leading resources for information on Japanese massage, with readers from over 50 countries visiting our blog each month to learn about techniques such as Shiatsu, Anma, and other traditional Japanese healing arts.
