Can the therapist go straight to my room without meeting at the 20F lobby?
Unlikely. The guest-floor elevators (22F–35F) are accessed from the 20th-floor lobby area, and they typically require keycard access. The reliable approach is to meet at the 20F lobby
and walk to the guest elevators together.
Can I book a late-night massage here? (after midnight)
Yes. Many outcall services accept bookings until 3:00–5:00 AM. A late-night surcharge typically applies (¥1,000–¥2,000). The building entrance and elevators to the 20F lobby are
accessible 24 hours. The hotel is 3 minutes from Shinjuku Station, so the therapist can reach you easily even late at night.
Why is the lobby on the 20th floor?
Hotel Century Southern Tower occupies the upper floors of the Odakyu Southern Tower building. The lower floors (1–19) are commercial and office space. The hotel starts at the 20th
floor, which is where the front desk, lobby lounge, and restaurants are located. Guest rooms are on floors 22–35.
Does the hotel have a spa or massage service?
No. There is a fitness center on the 21st floor, but no spa or in-house massage. For a massage during your stay, an external outcall service is your only option.
Are the rooms big enough for a proper in-room massage?
Southern Tower Twin/King rooms (26 m²) handle both shiatsu and oil massage well. Comfort Singles (19 m²) and Comfort Doubles (20 m²) are tighter — shiatsu on the bed is the safest
choice. Mention your room type when booking so the service can advise on the best massage style.
Shiatsu or oil massage — which works better here?
In Southern Tower rooms (26 m²+), both work well. Shiatsu is done on the bed through clothing — zero setup. Oil massage uses a mat or towels and needs floor space. In compact rooms
(19–20 m²), stick with shiatsu on the bed. The views from the high-floor rooms add a nice backdrop regardless of massage style.
Can I get a couples massage here?
In Southern Tower Twin/King rooms (26 m²), it’s feasible but tight with two therapists. Scenic rooms (26 m²+ with extra-bed option) offer slightly more flexibility. For a truly
comfortable couples session, consider upgrading to the largest room available. Mention “couples massage” when booking.
How much does an outcall massage cost in Tokyo?
A 60-minute session typically costs ¥15,000–¥25,000, and a 90-minute session ¥20,000–¥35,000. Late-night bookings usually add ¥1,000–¥2,000. Always confirm the total before dispatch.
What types of massage can I get delivered to my room?
Most outcall services offer shiatsu (Japanese acupressure, through clothing on the bed), oil massage (Swedish-style, using towels or a mat), and deep tissue massage. Some also offer
Thai massage, sports massage, or lymphatic drainage. Specify your preference when booking.
How far in advance should I book?
Same-day booking is standard. The hotel is right next to Shinjuku Station — one of the most accessible locations in Tokyo for outcall dispatch. Therapist arrival times are typically
short. For peak nights (Friday/Saturday), book 2–3 hours ahead.
Can I book a massage right after checking in? (jet lag recovery)
Yes. Check-in is from 2:00 PM. If you arrive via Narita Express (which terminates at Shinjuku Station), you can be in your room within 80–100 minutes of leaving Narita. Message an
outcall service during the train ride, and a therapist can be dispatched and arrive within 60–90 minutes of your check-in.
Is the hotel closing for renovation?
The hotel has announced a phased suspension of operations starting October 2026 for renovation. If you’re planning a stay around that period, confirm availability directly with the
hotel before booking.
Do I need to tell the hotel I’m having a massage?
No. You’re meeting someone at the 20F lobby and walking to the guest elevators together. The lobby has a lounge and restaurants — visitors coming and going is entirely normal. Keep it
simple.
