Divine Healing Massage Two for One Deal/ Healing method that protects and heats your spirit.
Editorial Note
In the English directory this individual is listed with the occupation of massage while here the kanji 治療院 represents a clinic (calm, healing, institution) which possibly indicates that this individual practices so-called Eastern Medicine (possibly accupuncture). The above translation is an approximation based upon the meanings of the specific kanji.

In the English Directory at this address there are only residents with last names that start with N or vacant listings. However, somtimes in the Japanese Directory cafes are listed without the word cafe, but cross referencing with the English Directory determines that at the address there is a cafe. Because this appears to be a possibility for this entry, I supplied the word cafe.
