Japanese Massage

I just experienced the magical craft of a Japanese masseuse. After positioning myself in a sitting/kneeling position on the unusual massage chair, the lady placed a cloth on my shoulders and started kneading away. She would push on each spot only 3 times before moving along to a new spot, this way it wasn't painful (unlike ones I've had in Oz). My shoulders, neck and back were massaged and like always, it was over all too quickly. Finally I lifted my face (crinkled by the paper towel) and floated out the shop door! The 20 minute experience cost me a little over $15 Aus.
