Hogushi Kaikan Massage (ほぐし快館) is a massage parlor located in Sotenbori. It is a major location in Yakuza 0
Yakuza 0[]
Goro Majima first meets Makoto Makimura in this location. It is also where he first meets Wen Hai Lee, who is the clinic's owner and her guardian. Majima comes to the clinic to find his assassination target, Makoto, who he thinks is Lee. A fight breaks out between them, then Kijin Clan members arrive in search of Makoto but Majima fends them off.
Much later, when Lee tries to start a car outside the parlor to help Makoto and Majima escape Sotenbori, a car bomb placed by Tsukasa Sagawa explodes, killing him instantly. The store closed down after his death, but reopened a year later.
Yakuza Kiwami 2[]
The clinic is present in Sotenbori and is visited during the Majima Saga. Here, Majima is reunited with the now-married Makoto, who had reopened the parlor one year after Lee's death caused it to close down. She is the parlor's best masseuse and is working there in hopes of meeting the mysterious man who helped her all those years back, as it is where she met him. Makoto stops working at the parlor in early 2006, when she and her family move overseas.
Hogushi Kaikan presumably closed down again some time after, as by 2019, its sign outside the building is no longer present.
