Very skilled and knowledgeable. Akira was able to alleviate months of chronic muscle tension in a single session.

Akira can figure out what’s tight/upset, and can fix it. I recommend him to all my friends

I've been seeing Akira at A Touch of ZEN for over three years, and he remains my go-to therapist for deep tissue work and targeted stretching. I average 8–10 visits a year, and every session consistently delivers noticeable relief, especially for the tightness I carry in my neck, shoulders, and hips. Akira has a rare gift for intuitively adjusting pressure and tailoring each massage to how my body is responding that day. He's highly skilled and exceptionally professional—punctual, never cancels, and sends clear, helpful reminders. His studio is part of a quiet, clean, and minimalist shared space with other independent practitioners, but it feels personal and focused once you’re in his room. Booking in advance is essential; his schedule fills quickly, which speaks volumes about his clients' loyalty. If you’re looking for someone truly experienced who respects both the craft and the client, I highly recommend Akira.
