Japanese Acupuncture
Unlike the quick “relaxation needles” seen in many modern spas, Japanese acupuncture is rooted in centuries of refined technique, precision, and whole-body understanding.
At KARTENA KYOTO, our acupuncture sessions are performed by a nationally licensed therapist trained in both traditional Eastern medicine and modern anatomy.
Using ultra-fine needles and gentle meridian-based methods, we aim to restore energy flow, relieve pain, and support natural healing — without unnecessary discomfort or intensity.
Every session begins with a consultation, posture and pulse assessment, and is tailored to the traveler’s unique physical condition.
Recommended For:
- Neck, shoulder, or back pain caused by travel fatigue or poor sleeping posture
- Jet lag, hormonal imbalance, or irregular sleep patterns
- Chronic pain or stiffness related to desk work or long flights
- Anyone looking for a deeper, internal reset beyond massage
Why Choose Japanese Acupuncture?
Gentler, More Precise

Tailored Diagnosis
Includes pulse diagnosis, meridian evaluation, and anatomical assessment for accurate targeting.
Holistic Yet Clinical
Combines the wisdom of Traditional East Asian Medicine with the knowledge of muscular structure, trigger points, and nerve pathways.
