Tokyo Disneyland is a carbon-copy of the American theme park, complete with the same Walt Disney ideals, attractions and services. The Japanese fell in love with it, just as it was. But attractions have evolved over time — interestingly, the parades that started at the Japanese site were, with the blessing of Walt Disney World Headquarters in the United States, were "exported" to Disneyland Resort Paris in France a few years ago.

Having captivating millions of Japanese over the past two decades, Tokyo Disneyland continues to spin a web of fun and innovation. The ranks of those who never seem to get enough of the fun include not only the Japanese, but visitors from other countries as well.

The company that pioneered the service is called Temomin. It opened its first outlet in 1996, and now has about 100 all over Japan, with many in and around Tokyo. It even has branches in Los Angeles, USA, and Brisbane, Australia. The chain is operated by Global Sports Medical Laboratory, Inc., which also specializes in sports massage for Olympic athletes. Its massage techniques for athletes are used in quick massage, too, and are now much in demand among company employees and popular among women. A growing number of other corporations are opening their own clinics, imitating Temomin's methods and concept.

Temomin charges 1,000 yen for a 10-minute massage. Quick and cheap, the massages relieve stress and soothe the muscles. But one has to ask, why are the Japanese so stressed out that they need to be pampered like this?
