This press release is the dream of -Immersive Bodywork- Watage no Manimani (Operated by: LifeLab Inc., President & CEO: Kaori Shiga).

Advocating for the Industry's First "Immersive Bodywork"! What is "Watage no Manimani"?
Watage no Manimani, which advocates for the industry's first "immersive bodywork," is a new sensation bodywork salon that opened in the Daimon/Hamamatsucho area in June 2025.
"Immersive bodywork" adjusts the body by appealing to all five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. It not only loosens stiffness in the entire body, focusing on areas of concern, and corrects posture, but also approaches the body by increasing metabolism through the treatment.
What we deliver through immersive bodywork is a sublime time where both mind and body become 'empty.'
In modern times, due to the development of civilization, including the internet, we live in an information-overloaded society that constantly requires choices and decisions as the range of options expands. We modern humans are constantly expected to fulfill roles, are exposed to evaluation, and are said to make an average of 35,000 decisions per day.
For us who live robustly amidst the turbulent waves of such a society, time to become 'empty' is actually a sublime time.
"-Immersive Bodywork- Watage no Manimani" was born from the desire to provide a moment to become 'empty' while loosening a tired body and returning it to its original, ideal state.
With excellent accessibility, just a 30-second walk from Daimon Station and a 6-minute walk from Hamamatsucho Station, we are patronized mainly by those who live or work nearby. The Daimon/Hamamatsucho area also serves as a major station for access to airports and Shinkansen bullet trains, making it recommended for business travelers during or after their trips. Our operating hours extend until 11:00 PM, making it convenient for people to visit after work, and we have received positive feedback.
Shifting Bodywork from "Treatment" to "Maintenance"! The Passion Behind Franchising
The "franchising" that we have taken a step forward with this time embodies the aspirations that Watage no Manimani has held since its inception.
What image comes to mind when you hear the word 'bodywork'?
A place to go when you feel unwell, a place to relieve stiffness, a place to fix pain...
Perhaps many people have such an image?
From conversations with our clients, it seems that many also hold this view.
We have harbored a desire to transform bodywork from 'improving what is wrong' to 'utilizing it for daily maintenance.'
"To create a society where modern people, busy with work, housework, childcare, etc., can shine vibrantly" is the corporate philosophy of LifeLab Inc., which operates Watage no Manimani.
For busy modern people, their greatest asset is their body. A healthy and youthful body, maintained from within on a daily basis.
Providing a place where people can perform body maintenance is one of the reasons we established our salon.
By improving circulation and metabolism through bodywork, and then taking in beneficial substances into a body with enhanced absorption capacity. We want to deliver this cycle. That is why Watage no Manimani not only offers bodywork but also features a retail area with numerous items to condition the body from the inside.
Performing maintenance before problems arise. Always keeping the body in good condition. To make this the standard in society, and to contribute to this goal in any way possible, we have decided to proceed with franchising.
Through franchising, we will offer "immersive bodywork" in more areas, supporting the body maintenance of busy, hard-working modern individuals.
We look forward to hearing from those who resonate with this philosophy.
