Japanese Booking Phrases for Men's Relaxation Salons in Japan
Copy-ready Japanese and English phrases for international visitors booking a men's relaxation salon in Japan, including prices, language support, delays and cancellations.
What was updated
Added an international visitor booking image and copy-ready messages for prices, late arrival and cancellation.
The short answer: keep your message simple
You do not need to write a long paragraph in Japanese. A short message with your preferred date, time, course, booking name and questions is usually easier for the salon to understand.
The phrases below can be copied into an official web form, LINE account or other booking channel. Replace the example details before sending, and check the salon's current rules on its official website.
Include these four details
- Preferred date and starting time
- Course and duration
- Booking name
- A telephone number or another way to receive a reply
Add a separate sentence if you want to request a therapist or ask about language support.
Ask whether international visitors can book
Japanese
外国人ですが、予約できますか？
Romanization
Gaikokujin desu ga, yoyaku dekimasu ka?
English
I am an international visitor. May I make a reservation?
The absence of a “foreign customers welcome” notice does not necessarily mean that you will be refused. However, a salon may have its own language, identification or booking requirements, so asking first can prevent confusion.
Ask about English support
Japanese
英語での案内は可能ですか？ 簡単な日本語と翻訳アプリも使えます。
Romanization
Eigo de no annai wa kano desu ka? Kantan na Nihongo to honyaku apuri mo tsukaemasu.
English
Is English support available? I can also use simple Japanese and a translation app.
Even when no fluent English speaker is available, a salon may be able to communicate through short written messages or a translation app.
Request a date, time and course
Japanese
8月31日の午後7時から、90分コースを予約したいです。
Romanization
Hachigatsu sanjuichi-nichi no gogo shichi-ji kara, kyujuppun kosu o yoyaku shitai desu.
English
I would like to book a 90-minute course from 7:00 p.m. on August 31.
Writing the month name and “a.m.” or “p.m.” in English helps reduce date and time misunderstandings.
Request a therapist
Japanese
可能であれば、〇〇さんを指名したいです。指名料も教えてください。
Romanization
Kano de areba, ___-san o shimei shitai desu. Shimei-ryo mo oshiete kudasai.
English
If available, I would like to request Ms. ___. Please also tell me the nomination fee.
If another therapist is acceptable, add:
〇〇さんが空いていない場合は、別の方でも大丈夫です。 > If she is not available, another therapist is also fine.
Confirm the total price and payment method
Japanese
指名料などを含む支払総額はいくらですか？ クレジットカードは使えますか？
Romanization
Shimei-ryo nado o fukumu shiharai sogaku wa ikura desu ka? Kurejitto kado wa tsukaemasu ka?
English
What is the total price including the nomination fee and any additional charges? Do you accept credit cards?
If you plan to use a card issued outside Japan, ask whether it is accepted or carry enough cash as a backup.
Ask for the location and arrival instructions
Japanese
予約場所と、建物に着いてからの連絡方法を教えてください。
Romanization
Yoyaku basho to, tatemono ni tsuite kara no renraku hoho o oshiete kudasai.
English
Please tell me the location and how I should contact you when I arrive at the building.
Apartment-style salons may provide the building name or room number after confirming a booking. Save the entrance, intercom and arrival instructions.
Tell the salon you may be late
Japanese
申し訳ありません。到着が10分ほど遅れそうです。予約はそのまま利用できますか？
Romanization
Moshiwake arimasen. Tochaku ga juppun hodo okureso desu. Yoyaku wa sono mama riyo dekimasu ka?
English
I am sorry, but I may arrive about 10 minutes late. Can I still keep my appointment?
Contact the salon as soon as you know. Depending on its rules, late arrival may shorten the session or cancel the appointment.
Change or cancel a booking
Japanese
申し訳ありません。8月31日午後7時の予約を変更したいです。変更可能な時間を教えてください。
Romanization
Moshiwake arimasen. Hachigatsu sanjuichi-nichi gogo shichi-ji no yoyaku o henko shitai desu. Henko kano na jikan o oshiete kudasai.
English
I am sorry, but I need to change my appointment at 7:00 p.m. on August 31. Please tell me what other times are available.
Include your booking name and ask whether a cancellation or change fee applies.
Explain pressure or treatment preferences
Japanese
肩を中心にお願いしたいです。強すぎない施術を希望します。
Romanization
Kata o chushin ni onegai shitai desu. Tsuyosuginai sejutsu o kibo shimasu.
English
I would like you to focus on my shoulders. I prefer gentle to medium pressure.
Tell the salon about allergies, injuries, skin conditions or other safety-related concerns before treatment. The salon can then explain what it can and cannot accommodate.
