Nonhyeon-dong massage, the surest way to relieve fatigue in daily life

Located in the middle of Seoul's Gangnam district, Nonhyeon-dong is a space that allows busy urbanites to take a moment to relax. Numerous massage parlors nestled in the gray-colored building forests. Beyond just recovering from fatigue, it has become a small haven for those who need to "rest."

Actually, when I think of Nonhyeon-dong for the first time, I don't have many images that come to my mind. Amusement park? Cafes? Or just a neighborhood in Gangnam? But people who go here often know that it is a neighborhood with exceptionally many quality massage shops. The massage shops are crowded with office workers who leave work at night and people who want to relieve their fatigue on weekends.

Why Nonhyeon-dong?

Nonhyeon-dong offers convenient transportation. It is located at Nonhyeon Station on Line 7, Sinnonhyeon Station on Line 9, and the center where Gangnam-daero and Hakdong-ro meet, so it is highly accessible. In particular, it is an environment where massage shops are bound to develop as it is close to business districts. This is a neighborhood where tired office workers, people on duty, and couples on weekend dates come to visit with the mindset of "Let's just take a break for an hour or two." There are massage shops with high satisfaction for the price, so the rate of revisiting is also high.

What kind of massage should I choose?

There are various massages in Nonhyeon-dong. You might be disappointed if you don't know the options and just look for expensive places. Below are some of the types of massages that are common in Nonhyeon-dong:

a swaddish massage

It is a relaxation massage using aroma oil, which is characterized by soft and rhythmic pressure. It is common to receive in an emotional atmosphere, and it is good for relieving stress and improving sleep quality.

What would it feel like to go there in person?

Most of the Nonhyeon-dong massage shops have modern and clean interiors, and they value customer privacy. Many places have single or couple rooms, and they create a comfortable atmosphere with quiet music and fragrant aroma. Most operate by reservation, and nowadays, you can easily make reservations through KakaoTalk or Naver.

Prices vary depending on the course, but a 60-minute standard range of 50,000 won to 120,000 won is typical. If it's too cheap, there may be problems with hygiene or therapeutic proficiency, so it's a good idea to check your reviews and ratings carefully.

the best way to choose a massage

Read Review: There are a lot of recent reviews, and I like places where photos are similar to the real thing. These days, Instagram and Kakao Maps reviews are more realistic than Naver blogs.

Experience-oriented approach: There are various massage shops, so it's better to experience them lightly at a mid-priced shop rather than an expensive one at first.

Identify your physical condition: If you have severe muscle pain, choose sports or tie massage, or if you want a relaxing break, go for a swedish or lymph massage.
