I’ve been working with “Hogugu” for four years now. Since I’ve always wanted to help clients through an on-site service model, I had almost no anxiety about visiting their homes or hotels. Although the treatments take place in private rooms, I feel completely at ease knowing that the management has put thorough safety measures in place, so I can fully focus on my work (^^)
What really surprises me as I work here is just how exhausted working men really are. Every day I’m amazed, thinking, “Are they really this tired?!” But that makes the work all the more rewarding, and it’s a really enjoyable environment for a therapist!(lol) Recently, the number of female clients has been gradually increasing, which makes me happy too (^^) Also, the reviews from clients are a daily source of encouragement and really help boost my motivation. I’m so glad I found Hogugu.
As for my future goals, thanks to everyone’s support, my income has been steadily increasing, so I hope to continue achieving my income goals. I also want to focus on each and every client individually to ensure they feel they’ve received hospitality and treatments that leave them thoroughly satisfied.

The living expenses needed to get by. And a vague anxiety about the future. Ever since I started working, I’ve always lived with those feelings.I entered the world of relaxation therapy with no prior experience. It was a truly enjoyable job where I could see my clients’ smiles, but the reality was that my income wasn’t stable despite the hard work, and I didn’t even have the luxury of taking a break. Every day, I worried, “It’s rewarding, but what will happen in the future?”
However, ever since I discovered “Hoggu,” my work life has completely changed. Seeing my skills and efforts directly reflected in my pay has given me both financial security and peace of mind. I’m now able to manage my own schedule, and I can approach each treatment with genuine joy while maintaining a healthy balance between work and my personal life.I’ve finally reached a point where I truly feel that I’m “choosing my own path in life.”
■Comment from Kenichi Hanaoka, Representative Director, HOGUGU Technologies, Inc.
Since our founding, we have been dedicated to providing services with the mission of “contributing to the advancement of therapists’ status and realizing a society where their skills and efforts are fairly recognized.”
Currently, in the relaxation industry, it is not uncommon for therapists—even those with excellent skills and hospitality—to be forced to leave their jobs due to financial insecurity or harsh working conditions.
We are confident that these results demonstrate the significant potential for the widespread adoption of flexible work arrangements—such as on-site relaxation services—to directly translate therapists’ skills and experience into increased earnings.
Moving forward, “Hogugu” will continue to devote all our efforts to creating an environment where each individual can work in a way that suits them best, whether as a full-time job, a side hustle, or as an independent practitioner.
