An In-Depth Look at the Tsujido Palm Reading Experience

What is Japanese Palm Reading?

Japanese palmistry, like its counterparts worldwide, interprets the lines, shapes, and mounts of your hand to reveal aspects of personality, relationships, and life paths. While not as widely known internationally as Chinese or Indian palmistry, Japan has preserved its own traditions. You’ll learn about the art through a brief explanation before your reading begins, setting a respectful tone for what’s to come.

Location and Setting

The session takes place in a food court at Terrace Mall Shonan in Tsujido, about 25 minutes from Yokohama by train. Specifically, you meet at a window-side table near Shonan Grill Style inside the third-floor food court. The environment exudes casual, local charm—a far cry from the polished, private consultation rooms of some wellness centers. Instead, you get an intimate experience in the midst of a lively shopping and dining area.
