Pride month has brought me to SF, and I had been anxiously awaiting seeing Takashi again since our two sessions last winter when he was in NYC. And boy, my appointment with Takashi yesterday was worth the trip! His warm hands knew just how to work every inch of my body. I came in stiff and sore after the cross-country flight, and all the pain evaporated after 90 minutes with this handsome, well-groomed, super-fit professional. Let's just say the experience was spectacular. Takashi is an absolute master who is completely dedicated to helping you achieve satisfaction in every possible way. I've already booked two more visits with Takashi in his well-located luxury apartment before I leave San Fran. You should too. Every inch of your body will thank you.

My physical and mental health has changed for the better since Takashi came back to the U.S. last fall. Takashi is a super sensitive guy who provides a relaxing and exciting experience. He is strikingly beautiful, pays attention to every detail, and is completely connected throughout. He is a man's man who knows just what another man needs, and provides it. I cannot recommend him enough. It's no wonder I keep coming back.

I have visited Takashi many times for massage and just when I thought it could not be better he has achieved the impossible. He has changed his methods and his massage experience is even better than before. The most amazing part of it is that his hands hardly left my body during the entire duration of the massage. He uses long flowing strokes, good pressure in all the right places and is very intuitive relative to the bodywork techniques he applies. I have no idea how he does it, but it is truly magical.

His studio is in a great location with ample parking nearby and easily accessible by BART and Muni. His studio is very clean, warm, beautifully decorated and with nice soft music playing. It is set up as close to a spa like experience as you can get.

If you have seen him before you know he is handsome, intelligent, genuine, polite and a very kind person and wonderful personality. He is easy to talk to and like his newly formulated massage his strength and amazing swimmer’s body are even better than they were before. I know it is cliché to make this comment on this site but for him it is true he is better looking than the pictures in his ad if that were possible.

Many other masseurs just go through the motions. He takes great pride in making you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive until the blissful end of the massage which you never want to end. With Takashi you will experience a professional massage which is technically perfect and very soothing at the same time. I highly recommend him. He is truly the best there is in San Francisco and many other places for that matter. You will not regret the experience and will become a regular client once you see him.

Just had my third appointment with Takashi. I keep coming back to him because he is great at what he does. He’s in great shape and has a personality that is both kind and professional. He’s very attentive and applies the perfect amount of pressure with his strong hands. Making an appointment is always easy and straightforward. Treat yourself to a very relaxing time with this handsome man.

Takashi is one of the best masseurs. He’s sweet and handsome and kind. His massage skills are top notch. He knows what areas to focus on. The stretching helped me a lot. His place is lovely too.
I recommend him highly. Great experience!

came back the first time since pandemic to get a massage. his strength and pressure is on point. he is also very thorough. he makes you feel comfortable and checks in all the time. for a really good massage, book Takashi! also, he works out alot so he knows what muscles need attention

I have been happily seeing Takashi since his return to San Francisco in 2022, to my great benefit in every possible way. His massage technique is without peer. As a young well-educated and cultured Japanese man, he is respectful of himself and others, reserved, diligent, polite, and works very hard to provide you every satisfaction you want in a male massage, from head to toe and everything in between. His silky smooth skin over his hard solid muscle is a joy to all the senses. No wonder I keep coming back for 90 minutes of complete bliss.

Takashi takes pride in his work as a therapeutic masseur. He is very good at helping release tight shoulders, and lower back. His work is mainly therapy, a bit sensual and not erotic. My massage went well when we clearly established the expectations and boundaries.

I strongly recommend Takashi if you are looking for a therapeutic massage. He is also a great guy, intelligent, polite and holds nice conversations.

I could hardly wait two days for my second massage with Takashi...even better than the first, the best technical massages ever...plus warm, caring and sensuous. I only wish he lived in NYC, but this is now a new reason to visit San Francisco after he returns. But we've got him for another week in NY. He's the one person who could make this dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker move to California!

Look who's visiting NYC – the very best of Japan meets California – the tender loving care you get in a Japanese sento meets the verve of a California beach boy. Takashi_Jpn is stunning, warm and charming from the get-go, provides a serene, unrushed complete male massage experience, and leaves you in a state of awe. Grab him while he's here. I did, and I set up my next appointment before I left. You will too.

Takashi provides a superior massage. He has solid skills and an intuitive sense of what each part of your body needs. He knows how to put pressure on your muscles without causing discomfort. His strokes are strong yet sensuous. He is handsome, masculine in the best sense of the word, muscled, and athletic. He has a great personality and provides a very enjoyable overall experience from start to finish. Takashi is a true professional who gives a complete massage not to be missed.

I have just returned from my second massage with Takashi since his return to San Francisco. I am writing this as I float on a cloud, pain free, relaxed, and completely content. From the ease of making an appointment to his class A easily accessible apartment to a massage that hits all the right spots, Takashi is my number one choice of a male masseur. He is very strong, is well-trained in the male anatomy, and has magic fingers to take you to the next level. In addition, he creates a strong emotional, intellectual, and physical connection that pulls it all together.

He’s back! Hooray! Like so many others, Takashi got trapped on a trip to Japan during Covid. At last he is back, and offering the same wonderful healing service he always did. He is a very skilled masseur, well-built and strong, and a genuinely nice person. Unlike some others, he is fluent in English so you can have real conversations and feel you have a genuine friend. He has a beautiful, serene apartment in a new upscale building with all that is needed for a rejuvenating experience. Easy to book an appointment. I highly recommend Takashi to meet all your needs.

Fantastic masseur. He’s professional, responsive, patient, and courteous. Takashi is in amazing shape and uses his strong hands to apply the perfect amount of pressure. My upper back feels like new. I can’t recommend him enough. One of the best massages I’ve ever had.

I have been Takashi’s client for several months now. Each appointment with him feels like a new and wonderful experience. He is not just an excellent and well trained masseur, he has a kind and soulful personality. His caring and sensitivity, intuitively sensing my needs in the session, set him apart. In each meeting his full attention is always on me. It makes me feel special. His pictures do not do him justice - he is much more handsome in person. I’m very sad he is leaving this week. It really will not be possible to find a masseur of his caliber. He is truly a special masseur and individual. I look forward very much for him to return to SF.

I absolutely enjoyed my first session with Takashi. He's a gorgeous looking man with a great body and these pictures don't do justice. He instantly made me feel at ease in his studio with the calming music and lighting.

He was very attentive to my body and made sure he was applying the right pressure points at all times. He used a variety of techniques, movements, and strokes from head to toe and I left feeling like bliss. I can't wait for my next session with Takashi. I hope I get to see him again soon before he leaves for Japan.

Takashi is a very handsome and kind person. He will put you at ease immediately. The space is comfortable and relaxing and he offers a consistent massage experience.
I recommend calling him to feel your best.

Takashi was nice enough to take a last minute appointment...and it was worth it. Takashi is incredibly polite and more handsome and muscular in person. His technique is amazing and the overall experience was amazing and a definite 10!!! Takashi is a one-of-a-kind person and an amazing masseur!!

Takashi is my favorite masseur in San Francisco; in fact in all of California; actually in all of the USA. I have tried various other masseurs but I always come back to Takashi. He has a welcoming, friendly demeanor and a clean, attractive massage space. He has great hands and a wonderful technique that relaxes me quickly, at times to the point of light sleep. It is so nice to be woken with a soft whisper in my ear. I always look forward to hearing "time to turn over". Yes, he is a great masseur but it is also nice to be in the presence of a handsome, lean, fit Asian masseur. Takashi is serious about massage, and will work hard to give you the results you want. Try him!
As for pronouncing his name, "Ta" as in taco, "ka" as in car, and "shi" as in she. Accent on the second syllable. Easy! Hurry! The rumor is that is he is leaving SF soon.

It's sad to hear that Takashi is leaving in a few weeks. He is always consistently attune to my needs which is hard to find from most masseurs. I will miss his incredible skills, great personality, beautiful body, handsome face and calm demeanor. Can't wait to see him when he returns.

Takashi is a delightful young man - skilled, warm and caring, beautiful, and intelligent. A wonderful experience, start to finish.

I had never had a massage before so I was nervous about seeing Takashi, but he made me feel comfortable and safe.

His hands are like magic, and it was an hour of stress-free bliss.

Takashi is even more handsome in person, tall with wide shoulders.

His studio is clean and spacious.

He is very personable and I look forward to seeing him again.

Takashi was prompt in responding to my email on this site. I responded subsequently to his cell phone by text and set up a time for a massage. His studio was clean and he was friendly and professional. The massage was terrific. Good pressure and he checked in with me on occasion to ensure the room temperature, massage was going smoothly. By the time it was over I was in a state of bliss.
He offered me a shower after the massage. I'll be sure to return and have another great massage with Takashi. He is a skilled and humble practitioner.
And an inspiration.

Takashi exceeded my expectations. His charm, kindness, curiosity, comfortable studio, and interest in making me feel relaxed was exceptional. The massage was very smooth and soothing. Not only is he absolutely a "toned, athletic, handsome and youthful person, but he is also a very intelligent, worldly young man. If you are in search of a relaxing, soothing massage from someone strong, intelligent, kind hearted, and beautiful, book him.

Over the years, I've probably used over a hundred different masseurs. Sometimes, I'll use one over again. Takashi is one of those people. As many people have said, he is extremely nice, provides a great massage and is easy to talk to. Every time I go to his immaculate place, I feel like I'm visiting an old friend--and, in fact, I am. I first started using his services back in 2017 and continue to do so today. He has a great erotic touch when you get to that part of the massage--one that makes you feel wonderful and very close to him. I could go on and on, but I suggest you give him a try while he's still around.

I loved my massage with Takashi. He is the nicest and the most welcoming person. He is a very handsome young man with a nice body who delivered a great massage applying just the right pressure. His technique is one of the best I have ever experienced. He is polite, well spoken and really makes you feel comfortable. His location is easy to get to and the studio was very clean and nicely set up. I strongly recommend him.

Takashi is my go-to masseur. He’s welcoming, professional, kind, and very attentive. He makes sure to check to see if the pressure is to my liking and his ability to create a relaxing environment results in a soothing and pleasurable experience. I highly recommend booking a massage with Takashi.

Takashi is an amazing masseur. He is very handsome and has an amazing body. He has a great personality, a genuine, therapeutic massage manner and incredible communication skills. His apartment is clean and is well appointed and creates a warm welcoming environment with very relaxing music. He applies the perfect combination of pressure and bodywork technique that takes you to a very blissful place. He is worldly and cares deeply about his clients. He is the absolute best massage therapist you can find in San Francisco and I strongly recommend seeing him.

I needed a good massage tonight after a horror of a week, and boy I hit the jackpot! I called Takashi. He arrived by Uber precisely at the promised time. I always am pleased to view his handsome face and muscular body. But tonight I can't decide what the best part was. Was it his strong, deep, superb massage, when he was kneeding out muscle knots, stretching muscles when needed, and relaxing the tension within my neck, shoulders and back? Or was it his uncommon sweetness and kindness, his commitment to his craft, as well as his responsiveness to particular requests. Or was it all these things. Choosing Takashi was like wing a real jackpot! He is a keeper.

Great massage and a very friendly sweet guy. He is just as handsome as he is in his pictures. Would definitely visit him again and highly recommend him.

I saw Takashi a week ago for the first time. Not being very experienced with massage, I was not certain what to expect. But I could tell from his profile and reviews that he was very professional, and seemed like a real person and real masseur, rather than someone out for a quick buck.

His massage space in his home is very pleasant and extremely clean. The massage seemed very thorough, and was really a wonderful experience on many levels. I like that he’s methodical and thorough about the session, but also caring and respectful, as well as flexible, checking in about pressure and possible problem areas. If you’ve seen his photos, you will know he’s very handsome, a great deal more so in person, and maybe more importantly is genuinely nice and kind.

I guess massage is a very personal thing and can involve a certain amount of trust. Even though I'm a little shy, Takashi made me feel at ease immediately. I trusted him right away.

Basically, I really can't recommend him highly enough. For myself I hope he doesn’t, but he could definitely be charging a lot more, considering the very high quality of the experience.

I've had two follow-up appointments already, and honestly, each one is better than the last. I feel very fortunate to be his client.

Whenever I visit this wonderful young man, he makes me feel like a welcomed friend. He is smart, thoughtful, playful and interested only in making me feel comfortable, which he does every time. His massage is a blend of therapeutic and sensual techniques -- working on the knots, stretching the limbs -- all with a relaxing, enjoyable touch. It doesn't hurt that his lean, muscular swimmer's build is a joy to behold. He is a great masseur, a great guy and a great friend. Treat yourself to his massage, and treat him with the kindness he deserves.

First time getting a massage and had a great time with Takashi. He mixes therapeutic, sensual, and erotic all together. He always checked up on me to see how I was doing and asked if the pressure he was using was okay. My body feels renewed and refreshed, especially my upper-back where I had the most pain. I no longer have any knots on my body. Takashi had a very big and comfortable massage table with lots of room. He also offers a shower for washing off after. I will definitely be coming back to him for more massages. Thank you!

Heavenly bliss would be my headline. This was an incredible experience from scheduling to walking out the door after the massage. Takashi was easy to schedule an appointment with same day actually. His studio was very relaxing and well heated with a very comfortable large soft massage table. He has a very subtle sense of humor that was inviting and kind. He did a combination of therapeutic, sensual and erotic and used varying levels of pressure though we focused mainly on deep pressure and a mixture of Thai, Swedish and Shiatsu. Not only were the stretches excellent but he paid special attention to some areas which can be ignored (feet, hands, IT band, etc.) His pictures do not do him justice. His toned build is something to behold. If you are wondering if an appointment with him is a good idea...its not...its a great idea. Try it out.

Takashi’s massage was amazing! His techniques were varied and effective. His personality puts you right at ease but his ***y chiseled body will keep you up, if you catch my drift. His apartment is well maintained and inviting also. Too bad I have to wait a couple months til he’s back from Japan, but I’ll be returning for sure!

I travel a lot and get really tight. I was hesitant to book with Takashi at first. Now I am super happy to have experienced his incredible skills. He really knows how to find the sore spots and work out the knots. Big plus is also that he is super handsome and has an amazing swimmers body which was unexpected. Normally I don't trust other reviews but it's funny that I now find myself writing one. Will look forward to my next visit for sure.

Takashi was prompt in replying to my text. He was ready for me when I came to his studio. His studio was clean and the massage table comfortable. His pressure was just right and he worked on some very tight muscles that needed attention from working on the computer. He checked in with me a number of times to learn if the pressure or anything else needed adjusting.
The whole experience was excellent. I'll be sure to return for another five star massage from Takashi.

I have had several massages from Takashi and each time I left his place very relaxed. He is skilled and uses different massage modalities on where I need it the most. On the most recent visit he also did some stretching that I really liked. Scheduling an appointment via text is easy and is usually done in a couple of texts. His place is very clean and is close to Civic Center and convenient to downtown. Takashi is professional, intelligent, and handsome in person. He is easy to talk to and is fluent in multiple languages. He has an athletic body and works out daily and it shows. I would definitely recommend Takashi if you are looking for a relaxing massage to melt your stress away.

I have visited Takashi twice for massages. I highly recommend him for a soothing and relaxing massage experience.

He is very polite and kind. He is even more attractive in person. He checks in often to make sure you are comfortable and happy with the massage. I just went 2 days ago, and I am already looking forward to my next massage. His studio is spotless and you can shower if needed.

From my first text contact ... to the scheduling of an agreeable time - Takashi was professional, polite, kind and made me feel comfortable from moment one. Fast forward to the massage - and his skill and strength exceeded expectation and he delivered a supreme massage that my sore body truly needed. Takashi is a genuine find and the massage was technical and soothing at the same time. My body is very thankful this afternoon ... as it received A+ body work.

Takashi's massage technique is extremely thoughtful, finessed, and relaxing; truly without exaggeration the best the city has to offer. His clean, quiet studio is conveniently located within the city and he offers clean towels, shower, and soothing music. As a person, he is very intelligent, kind, polite, and extremely handsome (even more so in person than his photos) and you will definitely love his swimmer's body. I strongly recommend Takashi and guarantee you will be more than satisfied with your massage experience.

Takashi responded in a timely manner with scheduling options and details, and we were able to schedule a session easily. His studio is easy to find, clean, warm and very nicely decorated, and he was welcoming and friendly. He asked at the outset if there were any area needing focus, and he checked in several times to make sure everything was good. The massage flowed smoothly and unhurried and he offered a shower afterwards. The entire experience was delightful.

Awesome massage!
Very polite!
Extremely good looking!

Just had a great massage by Takashi yesterday where he worked all of my knots due to stress. He has a very relaxing, clean space that’s very easy to locate.
Will definitely be booking again.

Takashi is an amazing masseur. He has a beautiful smile and sweet personality he immediately made me comfortable and took care of all of my aches and pains. I will keep going back and highly recommend you do too!

Wow, what an amazing, skilled, and awesome masseur who delivers a knock-out massage. Takashi's massage skills are superb and should leave you feeling almost weightless after the massage. He was very easy to coordinate with and answered my questions promptly. His space is very clean and quiet. Highly recommended!

Takashi really knows how to put you at ease. The massage was so relaxing and he knew all the right spots to release the tension in my body. I will definitely be coming back!

One of the best massages I have ever had. Takashi used long flowing strokes with really good pressure and worked out knots that I didn’t even know I had. He knew exactly what he was doing and was very intuitive.

FIVE Stars ..... He's warm, wonderful,Kind,clean,Handsome, I will return!
