Icha Icha Massage Chiang Mai

Greetings from Charoen Prathet Road. Icha Icha suits travellers near the Night Bazaar who want a nuru massage with a simple, fixed price: its rate card has just two lines, ฿2,500 for 60 minutes and ฿3,000 for 90, and its website promises no hidden charges. The Japanese theme is the draw, with rooms styled on Japanese bath houses and nuru gel imported from Japan, and staff listed as English- and Japanese-speaking. It holds a 4.4 Google rating from 90 reviews, and reviewers often mention clean rooms and fair prices. Skip it if you're out late (it closes at 22:00) or if a full hour matters to you: several low reviews say sessions felt rushed or ended early, and a couple mention few therapists at busy times.

Icha Icha Massage is at 73/2-3 Charoen Prathet Road in Chang Moi, part of the Night Bazaar and Chang Khlan area of Chiang Mai. According to its website, it offers nuru massage in private rooms styled after Japanese bath houses, which it calls five-star, using nuru gel imported from Japan. Listed services include a bath, body-to-body massage, nuru and private rooms.

The shop is listed as English- and Japanese-speaking. Google reviewers describe a clear, organised arrival: services and prices are presented up front, so there's no haggling.

The rate card is short:

• Nuru massage 60 min – ฿2,500
• Nuru massage 90 min – ฿3,000

The extra 30 minutes costs ฿500, and the website states there are no hidden charges. Payment methods aren't published, so ask on LINE whether cards are accepted and on what terms.

Booking: LINE.

Hours: daily 11:00–22:00.

The address is 73/2-3 Charoen Prathet Road, Tambon Chang Moi, Mueang Chiang Mai 50100. Chiang Mai has no metro: if you're staying in the Night Bazaar area, walk or take a tuk-tuk; from the Old City or Nimman, take a Grab or a red songthaew and give the full address. It closes at 22:00, so don't leave it to the end of the night.

Travellers who like a clear price and a Japanese-style setting, and Japanese speakers in particular. Less suited to night owls and to anyone sensitive about the full session length. For more choice, see our Chiang Mai nuru guide or the Night Bazaar shortlist.

Icha Icha holds a 4.4 Google rating from 90 reviews. On the positive side, reviewers often mention clean rooms and good hygiene, a warm, friendly welcome and reasonable prices for what's offered; several say prices and services were clearly presented, so there was no awkward haggling. The Japanese-style bath gets a mention too, and many reviewers name a therapist they'd return to.

The complaints are consistent as well. Several reviewers say sessions felt rushed or finished early, with one leaving after 45 minutes of a paid hour. A couple note that only a few therapists were available at busy times. The mix suggests a tidy, fairly priced shop where the experience can vary, so confirm the session length before you start.
