Toro Massage Review: Authentic Japanese Nuru with Thai Charm

When the craving for authentic Japanese Nuru massage strikes but you’re nowhere near Japan, where does one go? If you’re in Bangkok, the answer might be Toro Massage on Sukhumvit Soi 33. As someone who’s sampled numerous sensual massage establishments across the city, I recently visited Toro to see if it lives up to the growing buzz. Here’s my honest take.

First Impressions: Location & Accessibility

Toro occupies a prime spot at 12/19 Sukhumvit 33 Alley, right in the heart of one of Bangkok’s most established entertainment districts. The location is incredibly convenient – just a couple of minutes’ walk from the main Sukhumvit Road, and surrounded by other popular establishments like Dozo Massage and Vovo BJ Bar. The proximity to a 7-Eleven adds practical convenience for post-massage refreshment.

The Toro Concept: Japanese Technique Meets Thai Hospitality

What makes Toro particularly interesting is its unique blend of Japanese business standards with Thai service culture. They maintain authentic Japanese Nuru massage techniques using real Nuru gel and proper mats, while the therapists are all Thai – combining the best of both worlds. This hybrid approach addresses two key advantages: full service (often restricted in Japan) and significantly lower prices than you’d find in actual Japanese establishments.

Service Quality & Atmosphere

From the moment you enter, several aspects stand out:

• Impeccable Cleanliness: The establishment maintains high hygiene standards
• Professional Management: The mamasan runs a tight, professional operation
• Quality Facilities: Well-designed layout with proper Nuru equipment
• Attractive Therapists: Notable for having more long-legged staff than typical Thai establishments

The authentic body-to-body Nuru experience is particularly noteworthy, with proper technique that creates that signature slippery, sensual sensation.

Pricing Structure: Options for Every Budget

Toro offers a tiered pricing system that provides good value across different service levels:

Budget Option

• No Nuru quick session: 2,200 THB

Standard Nuru Experience

• 60-minute Nuru massage: 3,600 THB (includes everything)

Premium Package

• Full “set meal”: 5,000 THB (includes uniform, sexy dance, and multiple shots)

Compared to actual Japanese Nuru establishments, these prices represent significant savings while maintaining authentic technique.

Therapist Selection & Quality

Toro seems to have a keen eye for selecting attractive staff. The lineup features “bright smiling faces and sexy bodies” with particular attention to longer-legged therapists – somewhat uncommon in Thailand. The staff embodies that classic Thai feminine charm while being trained in proper Japanese Nuru techniques.

The Nuru Experience

The actual massage lives up to authentic Japanese standards:

• Real Nuru Gel: Authentic slippery formula for proper body-to-body contact
• Proper Equipment: Inflatable Nuru mats designed for the technique
• Full Service: Unlike Japan, includes complete sensual experience
• Professional Technique: Well-executed slides and body contact

Booking & Practical Information

Toro makes visiting straightforward:

• Hours: 1:00 PM to 1:00 AM daily
• Phone: +66 83-836-4783
• Email: [email protected]
• Walk-ins Welcome: No advanced booking required

What Makes Toro Special

• Authentic Japanese Technique: Real Nuru with proper gel and methods
• Thai Service Charm: Beautiful therapists with Thai hospitality
• Full Service Options: More complete than typical Japanese establishments
• Reasonable Pricing: Significant savings over Japan prices
• Prime Location: Easy access in Sukhumvit 33
• Quality Facilities: Clean, professional environment

Considerations

The 1:00 PM opening might be late for those preferring morning sessions. Being in a popular entertainment area means it can get busy during peak hours. The pricing, while reasonable, positions them in the mid-range rather than budget category.

Final Verdict

Rating: 4.4/5

Toro Massage successfully delivers an authentic Japanese Nuru experience with the added benefits of Thai hospitality and more liberal service options. Their hybrid approach – combining Japanese technique with Thai therapists – creates a unique value proposition that stands out in Bangkok’s crowded sensual massage market.

The quality of facilities, professional management, and attractive staff selection make Toro a reliable choice for those seeking genuine Nuru massage without the restrictions (and high prices) of actual Japanese establishments. The tiered pricing ensures there’s an option for different budgets while maintaining quality across all service levels.

Recommendation: Highly recommended for Nuru enthusiasts and those curious about authentic Japanese sensual massage. The 3,600 THB full Nuru experience offers excellent value, while the premium packages provide additional entertainment elements for special occasions. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the Sukhumvit 33 area.
