Taipei｜Honkawa Health Care Royal Palace｜Massagebon

I’ve returned to 本川 multiple times, and the service has always been consistently excellent. If you’re looking for personalized care, I highly recommend male staff No. 66, 小佑. He’s incredibly service-minded, attentive to your body’s needs, and delivers a massage that feels truly tailored—not just routine. What sets him apart is his focused work on the pelvic area, glutes, and calves. He applies steady, thoughtful pressure to release deep-seated tension around the hips and surrounding muscles—areas that are often overlooked, but make a huge difference in how your lower body feels afterward. The hot towel process is another highlight. He uses warm towels after the cupping session to soften tight areas, improve circulation, and add a deep sense of comfort and care that lingers long after the massage ends. Whether it’s your first visit or one of many, I believe 小佑 will always give 110%. Highly recommended.

First time having a foot massage here, and it was absolutely worth it! The male staff member—with a buzz cut and thin-rimmed glasses—had a calm, focused presence that matched his touch. Using his bare hands, he worked with precision and intention, kneading out every step of the city I’d walked. My feet went from sore to soaring. The cupping session was another highlight. He thoughtfully applied oil and a bit of cream beforehand, which made the whole process smoother and more comfortable. The soreness and tension just melted away. Highly recommend this place!

Highly recommend staff #98 (A guy with dreadlocks)! I only had to briefly mention the areas that needed attention, and he somehow knew exactly where to focus to relieve the tightness in my shoulders, shoulder blades, and armpits. I’m the kind of person who prefers deep pressure, but it has to be skillful—not just forceful or heavy-handed. Staff #98’s technique is not for the faint of heart—he pinpointed the knots in my tight areas and worked through them with just the right amount of pressure. So if you like your massages on the stronger side, don’t miss out on booking him!

I booked a session on Saturday night, and the place was packed—almost a full house. It’s clearly a go-to spot among both locals and tourists, with conversations in Japanese, Korean, and English filling the space. What I appreciated most was the masseur’s attention to my shoulders. I could feel the adhesions in the fascia being broken up, and the restricted layers gradually freeing up—I suppose this is what’s called 撥筋 in Chinese. It worked wonders for the deep-seated tension I’ve built up from my sedentary job. By the end, my shoulders felt so much lighter and more mobile and I left feeling amazing—it was exactly what I needed after a long week.

A combination of deep tissue massage and cupping was truly a relief. Although the pressure applied by a masseur was a bit strong and intense, the stubborn knots in my back, waist, and shoulders were thoroughly worked out. After the cupping session, I felt a deep sense of exhaustion, almost like I had been through a car crash. But at the same time, there was a wave of relief—a feeling that the heaviness and tension had been lifted. If you often suffer from muscle tension and stiffness, I highly recommend this place—it goes beyond the typical relaxation massage.

What a hidden gem in Ningxia Night Market! The service here is consistently great. Never have my back, armpits, and lower back been so thoroughly worked on before. I highly recommend staff members #32 and #98 (the guy with dreadlocks) to anyone who enjoys a personalized massage. Not to mention, cupping and scraping are complimentary, so make sure to ask for those as they will definitely elevate the entire experience.

環境非常乾淨舒適，師傅和櫃檯接待人員也很和藹親切，按摩部分更是沒話說，下下都是集中在穴點上，雖然按得時候既痠又痛，臉部表情管理整個大失控，不過結束後整個疲勞都紓解開了。店內也很貼心設有置物櫃，不用大包小包提來提去，課後也有養生茶可以飲用；小小建議是接待流程可以再更優化，不然生意好的時候，要穿脫鞋子的客人與課程完畢休憩的客人都塞在櫃檯區，顯得有些尷尬⋯不過瑕不掩瑜，若在附近絕對會來二訪，很是推薦👍👍👍

They are very sweet, kind and serviceminded! - both the front desk and Ben. They unfortunately do not take credit card, but you can use the app Klook, if you dont have cash. They will also help you with what kind of massage you want (they do speak english). The place is clean, pretty and calming. (+ you get free tea and pants/shirt for the massage). Thank you so much!

真的是很棒的體驗，環境優美，師傅力道很夠，感覺店家很認真在維持品質，還可以Line預約真的非常方便，來過一次後絕對會回來的一家店，推薦！

二訪體驗如一訪一樣棒，尤其這次師傅拔罐&伸展雙管齊下，當下真的是痛到快往生，不過幾天消腫後效果真的一級棒，非常推薦給大家！
