Why international visitors choose Richmond Hotel Tokyo Shiba

1) Walkable to Tokyo Tower & Zojoji

Tokyo Tower is about 15 minutes on foot, and historic Zojoji Temple is just 3 minutes away. The Shibakoen neighbourhood is quieter than central tourist areas but centrally positioned — a pleasant contrast for an evening in-room massage after a day of sightseeing.

2) Haneda Airport in 22 minutes

Hamamatsucho Station is the Tokyo Monorail terminal — just 22 minutes nonstop to Haneda. If you’re arriving from Haneda, you can be checked in and booking an outcall massage within 30–40 minutes of landing.

3) No spa, no restaurant — outcall is it

The Richmond has no spa, no treatment rooms, and no in-house restaurant (just a Starbucks on 1F). If you want a massage, an external outcall service is the only option. The upside: you control the timing, style, and therapist choice completely.

4) Modern, clean, and good value

Opened in 2017, the hotel is newer than most in the area. Richmond Hotels are known for cleanliness, wide desks, dual monitors, and humidifying air purifiers in every room. For a mid-range business hotel, the quality-to-price ratio is strong.

Rooms require keycard access. The process: meet the therapist at the 2F lobby and escort them to your room.

Where to meet your massage therapist

Recommended meet-up point

Best default: the 2nd-floor lobby/front desk area. The building entrance is at ground level — your therapist enters, takes the elevator or stairs to 2F, and meets you near the front desk. The lobby has a lounge area where waiting is natural.

Guest floors require keycard elevator access. Your therapist cannot reach your room alone.

If hotel staff asks questions

Keep it simple: “I’m meeting a visitor.” The Richmond is a compact business hotel with a professional, no-fuss atmosphere. Escorting a visitor to your room is routine.

Room size reality check

Room sizes vary significantly at this hotel. Your room type determines which massage style will work best:

Single / Double (16 m²): Very compact. Shiatsu on the bed is the only practical option. There is no floor space for an oil massage mat. The wide desk takes up significant room. Don’t attempt oil massage in this room type — it won’t work comfortably.

Standard Twin (23 m²): Workable. Shiatsu on the bed is ideal. Oil massage may be possible with minor furniture adjustment, but mention the room size when booking.

Deluxe Double (25 m²): Comfortable for shiatsu and adequate for oil massage. The 180 cm king-size bed gives the therapist good working width.

Superior Twin / Universal Twin (32 m²): Spacious by business hotel standards. All massage styles work well, including oil with a floor mat. Couples massage may be tight but possible.

Key recommendation: If you’re in a 16 m² single or double, book shiatsu on the bed. Always mention your room size when booking so the service can set expectations and recommend the best approach.

Choosing a massage therapist: what to know before you book

Many guests — especially male guests — care about a therapist’s age and appearance. That’s normal. The mistake is trusting services that show full-face “model-like” photos as if they are guaranteed.

Be careful with services that display clear full-face portraits. Those photos are often heavily edited, or sometimes not the real therapist.

Most reliable outcall services avoid full-face photos for privacy. That restraint is often a trust signal.

Frequently asked questions about outcall massage at Richmond Hotel Tokyo Shiba

Are the 16 m² rooms big enough for an in-room massage?

For shiatsu on the bed — yes. Shiatsu requires no floor space; the therapist works on you through clothing on the bed. Oil massage with a floor mat is not practical in 16 m² rooms. Always mention your room size when booking.

Which massage style is best for compact rooms?

Shiatsu (on the bed, through clothing) or deep tissue (on the bed). Both work perfectly in 16 m² rooms. If you want oil massage, book a Deluxe Double (25 m²) or Superior Twin (32 m²).

Can I book a late-night massage? (after midnight)

Yes. Many services accept bookings until 3:00–5:00 AM. Late-night surcharge (¥1,000–¥2,000) typically applies. The front desk is 24 hours and check-in extends until 5:30 AM, so the lobby is accessible at all hours.

Does the hotel have a spa?

No. No spa, no fitness centre, no treatment rooms. There is a Starbucks on the 1st floor but no hotel restaurant. An external outcall service is the only way to get a massage.

Can the therapist go directly to my room?

No. Guest floors require keycard elevator access. Meet at the 2F lobby and escort them up.

Can I get a couples massage?

Only in the Superior Twin or Universal Twin rooms (32 m²), and even then it will be snug. Standard rooms (16–25 m²) are too compact for two therapists. If you need a couples session, consider a nearby hotel with larger rooms.

Can I book a massage right after arriving from Haneda?

Yes. The Tokyo Monorail from Haneda to Hamamatsucho takes 22 minutes, then the hotel is a 5-minute walk. Message a service while still on the monorail and a therapist can arrive within 60 minutes of check-in.

What types of massage can I get?

Shiatsu, oil, deep tissue, Thai, sports massage, and more. For 16 m² rooms, shiatsu on the bed is strongly recommended. For 25+ m² rooms, all styles work.

How much does an outcall massage cost?

60 min: ¥15,000–¥25,000. 90 min: ¥20,000–¥35,000. Late-night surcharge: ¥1,000–¥2,000. Confirm the total before dispatch.

Is the Daimon / Hamamatsucho area convenient for outcall dispatch?

Very. Daimon Station connects the Toei Asakusa and Oedo Lines, and Hamamatsucho is on the JR Yamanote Line. For therapists dispatching from central Tokyo, arrival times are typically under 60 minutes.

Do I need to tell the hotel I’m getting a massage?

No. You’re meeting a visitor at the lobby. That’s normal behaviour for a registered guest.
