Meet the Hidamari Therapist
Bringing 19 Years of Healing Touch & Aloha Spirit to Tokyo
Hello! I’m Mayumi Kambayashi from Hidamari. With the support of many wonderful people, I’ve been operating a cozy private salon in Kotake-Mukaihara, Nerima Ward, where guests can truly relax and unwind.

Nice to meet you!
I’m Mayumi from Hidamari. Starting right after the 2011 earthquake in Ikebukuro, moving to Shiina-machi, and then relocating twice to our current location in Kotake-Mukaihara — somehow, we’ve reached our 15th year!
Both in work and personal life, there have been many ups and downs. I tend to get discouraged easily but also bounce back quickly. Through a slow and steady pace, with plenty of mistakes and detours along the way, I’ve been helped, taught, and nurtured by countless people to reach where I am today.
Thank you so much to everyone!
My Love for Hawaii & The Islands
Although I’m not particularly good at English, I absolutely love Hawaii and used to visit frequently. These days, with prices being so high, I’ve been going to Okinawa instead! (laughs)
I want to deliver treatments that let you feel the gentle breeze of the tropics. The flowing movements of Lomi Lomi and the peaceful island spirit are what I hope to share with every guest.
Through caring for both body and mind, I hope we can relax our shoulders, bring smiles to our faces, and create a space where we can share various experiences together.
My 15-Year Journey
Early Career (20s)
Advertising Agency (2.5 years)
After graduating from art university, I worked in production for 2.5 years while studying at massage school for one year.
Salon Experience (5.5 years)
Worked as a therapist at various salons mainly in Kichijoji and Shinjuku, plus many other locations including Awaji-cho, Daikanyama, Imperial Hotel, Ebara-machi, Ogikubo, Mitaka, Kinshicho, Komagome, Ofuna, and Shakujii.
During this time, I was blessed with many wonderful clients, seniors, and colleagues who helped me build my experience.
Learning Traditional Techniques
Swedish Massage Training
Studied Swedish massage at Healing Hands Bodyworks Center.
Lomi Lomi Mastery
Discovered Lomi Lomi at And Canon, where I studied under Noelani Bennett, who inherited the tradition from the legendary Anti Margaret.
This training opened my heart to the true spirit of Hawaiian healing arts and the philosophy of treating each person with love and respect.
Building Hidamari (2011-Present)
March 2011: Opened “Relaxation Hidamari” in Nishi-Ikebukuro
December 2013: Moved to a street-level shop 2 minutes from Shiina-machi Station
September 2022: Renamed to “Oil Body Care & Stretch Hidamari”
December 2024: Moved to Kotake-Mukaihara in Nerima Ward and renamed to “Thai & Lomi Lomi Hidamari”
Each move has been a step toward creating the perfect healing space for our guests.
My Approach to Healing
Body & Mind Connection
I believe in addressing both physical tension and mental stress. Every session is designed to help you release what you’re carrying and find your natural balance.
Island Spirit
Inspired by the peaceful energy of Hawaii and Okinawa, I bring that same sense of calm and warmth to every treatment, creating a tropical oasis wherever you are.
Personal Care
Each guest is unique, and I customize every session to your specific needs, comfort level, and preferences. Your relaxation is my priority.
Continuous Learning
Even after 15 years, I’m always learning and growing. Every client teaches me something new, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve this community.
Looking Forward
I hope Hidamari can serve as a place where we can care for both body and mind, drop our shoulders, smile, and share various experiences together. I would be so happy if you could make use of this space for your own wellness journey.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my story. I look forward to the opportunity to help you relax and rejuvenate.
Please take care of Hidamari and me for many years to come!
— Mayumi
