Review of Shinrin Spa in District 1

If I had to pick the most satisfying massage shop during my trip to Ho Chi Minh City, it would definitely be SHINRIN Yoku Spa - Pasteur branch.

Located in the heart of District 1 on Pasteur Street, the spa impressed me right from the moment I stepped in, with its luxurious atmosphere and spotless cleanliness.

The 60-minute full-body massage I received here was more than just a relaxation — it was an exceptional experience.

SHINRIN Yoku Spa is located at 178/2 Pasteur, right in the heart of District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.

It’s situated in a lively area full of tourist attractions and popular eateries — a perfect spot to stop by before or after shopping or visiting a café..

The interior was extremely clean and well-organized. The wooden-toned design and the subtle aroma of essential oils brought a deep sense of comfort and relaxation.

Most of the staff can communicate in English, so it’s very convenient and welcoming for foreign visitors.

At SHINRIN, a wide range of massage packages is available, giving you the flexibility to choose based on your body condition.

The menu is neatly organized, and before the session, you’ll be given a chart to mark any pain points or areas you want to focus on — which really adds a sense of professionalism and care.

Highlighted massage programs:

SHINRIN Deep Tissue Body Massage (90 minutes)
→ Full-body deep tissue massage

Herbal Compress Body Massage (75 minutes)
→ Massage using warm herbal compresses

Hot Stone Body Massage (60 minutes)
→ Massage with hot stones

Specialized Foot Massage (45 minutes)
→ Focused massage for the feet

Neck, Shoulder & Upper Back Massage (30 minutes)
→ Targeted massage for neck, shoulders, and trapezius area

Hand Massage (30 minutes)
→ Relaxing hand massage

Due to time constraints, I chose the 60-minute full-body hot stone massage. It effectively released my tense muscles with a refreshing sensation, and the pressure was adjusted perfectly — I was extremely satisfied.

As this spa is popular among Korean visitors, there’s even a dedicated "Korean Pack" program.

Although I didn’t get a chance to try it, I heard it’s tailored to match the preferences of Korean guests.

This time, I didn’t experience the scalp massage, ear cleaning, or shampoo services, but the overall service flow was very systematic and professional.

The guidance before and after the treatment was also clear and well-structured, so I’m definitely planning to try the Korean Pack on my next visit.
