First of all, everyone has to wipe their feet clean before soaking them in the steaming hot foot bath that is beneath the table. The warm water can be perfect if you are feeling cold. Next, you can get your drinks. The place offers a range of herbal teas. This is followed by a massage session, where they bring you a pillow right at your spot and massage your shoulders and back while your feet are still bathing in the water.
“We got kneaded, stretched and unknotted. They literally climb onto the seats to really get deep in those muscles,” the content creator shares. Once you loosen, feeling like jelly, the food comes and you can enjoy a bite to eat and leave refreshed. The cafe is called ‘Mominoki House’ and is located in Ueno, Tokyo. Watch the full video here:
