Discover the Healing Power of Kenkoh: Unlock a World of Wellness Through Japanese Acupressure

At Kenkoh, we take you on a journey inspired by ancient Japanese wisdom and the art of acupressure. Our footwear, designed in Japan, harnesses the profound principles of reflexology to rejuvenate your feet and revitalize your entire body.

Experience the Kenkoh Difference:

Acupressure Nodules: Each pair of Kenkoh footwear boasts nearly 1,000 rubber nodules meticulously crafted to target the reflex points in your feet. This unique design is clinically proven to enhance circulation, improve posture, restore balance, elevate your mood, and invigorate your body. Founder’s Legacy: Our massaging footbed pays homage to the founder, Mr. Kyu-kichi Yamanashi, who dedicated over 50 years to perfecting ancient reflexology treatments. The Kenkoh experience replicates the healing principles he discovered and cherished. About Kenkoh: Established in 1965, Kenkoh is the pioneer of massage footwear, rooted in the Japanese philosophy of ‘Kenkoh,’ meaning ‘health.’ Our designs continue to uphold this guiding principle as we blend tradition with innovation.

Discover Relief and Wellness: Kenkoh customers have attested to the remarkable benefits of our sandals in alleviating symptoms associated with various health conditions. These include neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunions, back pain, sciatica, arthritis, and cold feet.

The Kenkoh Legacy: In 1949, Mr. Kyu-kichi Yamanashi founded a small shoe factory in Shizuoka, Japan. His battle with tuberculosis led him to explore ancient Oriental feet treatments like ‘take-fumi’ (walking on bamboo shoots) and ‘soku-sin-do’ Japanese acupressure. The transformative impact on his health inspired him to infuse these ancient healing principles into traditional Japanese footwear designs.

In 1965, Kenkoh, the first massage sandal, was born. Today, the Yamanashi family continues this legacy, crafting Kenkoh with unparalleled craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, all to promote holistic well-being and happiness.
