Family Massage in Kyoto – Massage & Bodywork for Parents and Children

Kyoto is an incredible destination for families, but exploring the city in summer can also be tiring.

Long days of walking between temples, shrines and neighborhoods, combined with Kyoto’s hot and humid summer weather, can leave both adults and children feeling tired.

At KARTENA KYOTO, families traveling with children are welcome.

Enjoy a Massage Together as a Family in Kyoto

Finding a massage in Kyoto can be difficult when traveling with children.

Parents may want to receive a massage after several days of sightseeing, but leaving their children behind at the hotel is often not an option.

At KARTENA KYOTO, you can visit together as a family.

Depending on availability, multiple family members can receive treatments at the same time. We regularly welcome couples, families and groups traveling together in Kyoto.

Children can also receive massage treatments, with the pressure and treatment style adjusted appropriately for their age and preferences.

Massage After Walking Around Kyoto

Visitors to Kyoto often walk considerably more than they do at home.

After exploring areas such as Gion, Kiyomizu-dera, Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama and central Kyoto, it is common to experience tired legs, feet, hips, shoulders and lower back.

Our experienced therapists can adjust each treatment according to how your body feels that day.

Popular options include:

Deep Tissue & Aroma Massage

Ideal for guests experiencing muscle fatigue after several days of walking and traveling.

Our therapists can focus on areas such as the legs, calves, feet, hips, lower back, shoulders and neck.

Relaxation Massage

A gentler treatment for guests who would like to relax and recover during their trip.

Pressure can be adjusted individually, making this a suitable option for different members of the family.

Head Massage

A popular addition after a long day of sightseeing.

Head, neck and shoulder work can also be combined with other treatments.

Shiatsu & Acupuncture

For guests interested in experiencing traditional Japanese-style bodywork, Shiatsu and acupuncture treatments are also available.

Professional Therapists in Central Kyoto

KARTENA KYOTO is located near Karasuma Oike in central Kyoto, making it easy to visit while sightseeing or staying at hotels in central Kyoto.

Our team consists of experienced professional therapists, and treatments are customized for each guest rather than following exactly the same routine for everyone.

International visitors are welcome, and our team regularly treats guests from around the world.

Couples, Families and Groups Are Welcome

KARTENA KYOTO can accommodate more than just individual guests.

Depending on therapist availability, we can arrange treatments for:

• Couples
• Parents and children
• Families
• Groups of friends
• Multiple guests receiving treatments simultaneously

If you are traveling as a family, please let us know the number of adults and children, the children’s ages, your preferred treatment, and your preferred date and time when making an inquiry.

We will suggest the best arrangement for your group.

Take a Break During Your Kyoto Summer Trip

August in Kyoto can be especially hot and humid.

Instead of spending the entire day outside, adding a massage or bodywork session between sightseeing activities can provide a comfortable break for the whole family.

Whether you are visiting Kyoto as a couple, with children, or as a larger family group, we will do our best to arrange treatments that allow everyone to relax and enjoy their time in Kyoto.
