Experience the rare authenticity of KOBIDO, the ancient "Imperial Facial Massage" of Japan, performed by Agnes - trained directly under the renowned master Shogo Mochizuki.

Originally, two shiatsu masters fought a months-long battle to satisfy a Japanese empress who needed special care to maintain her legendary beauty. While no clear winner emerged, these masters joined forces to create the Kobido house, with exclusive treatments reserved for royalty and geisha.

Kobido massage is 540 years and remains one of the most effective anti-aging techniques.  This facial massage offers comprehensive rejuvenation, harmonising body and mind for ultimate relaxation.

Kobido is a precise lymphatic draining and lifting massage that requires rigorous application. With consistent practice, the results can be remarkable, delivering a refreshed and youthful appearance.
