I am honestly lost for words. Today, I experienced something that truly touched my heart and reminded me of the kind of person I strive to be.
I had a booking with a new client this evening. I was at my studio in Omotesando, fully prepared and waiting for 5:30 PM. Then, a message arrived: "Hi, I'm at Apartment 215."
I froze. I quickly checked my records and realized—oh no, this was an out-call session! I had completely mixed up the location. I immediately apologized and told him I would head over. But his reply floored me: "Should I come to you instead?"
I insisted that I should come to him, but he kindly insisted on coming to my studio. It was a scorching day, over 30°C, and he walked 25 minutes from the station just to see me. I spent the entire time he was on his way worrying about how to apologize for my mistake.
When he arrived, he was all smiles, saying, "Sorry for the wait!" despite being the one who had to walk in the heat.
He is a traveler from Sweden on his third visit to Japan, exploring solo from Hokkaido to Kyushu. He chose my massage for his final night before flying home. We talked non-stop for 90 minutes—about his travels, his beautiful home country, and life.
I was so moved by his kindness. Despite my mix-up, he wasn't angry; he was incredibly gracious and light-hearted. I felt so full of gratitude that I did something I rarely do—I asked for a photo together. He happily agreed, and we took this picture.
He told me the massage was the best, and even though I was feeling a bit frazzled, this experience gave me a sense of happiness I’ve rarely felt in my 26-year career.
People like him are the ones who truly make the world a better place. Thank you for this unforgettable encounter. I hope to see you again on your fourth trip to Japan!
