I've got a bad back and neck from playing piano and double-bass a large part of my life, and lately working a lot at the computer. Since I'm in Tokyo for another couple of days or so, I thought I'd ask around for the absolute best massage in town, that also won't break the bank. (It's a pretty sizable traveler's bank, but I'm not rich.) I've seen the (in?)famous massage where a woman (men are too heavy me guess) walks on the back and cracks the joints. Is that something recommended? Looks darn cool! :)

QuoteFilter: "Trust not those who advocate denial of pleasure, as they take their pleasure in denial." I don't have the correct wording, so finding the original source (and hence, correct wording) is proving difficult. Anyone?
