A New Era for HOGUGU Therapists: Rising Earnings and Greater Flexibility
In July 2026, HOGUGU Technologies, based in Osaka, Japan, announced that 29 of its top therapists, known as "Platinum Therapists," achieved an impressive average monthly revenue of
909,017 yen. With 7 therapists surpassing the 1,000,000 yen threshold and 2 of them exceeding
1,500,000 yen, these figures illustrate the significant earning potential within the relaxation service sector.
The Success Story Behind the Numbers
The remarkable performance of these therapists is attributed to their dedication to honing their skills and building strong relationships with clients. HOGUGU allows therapists the flexibility to choose their work hours and locations, breaking free from traditional schedules and enabling them to transform customer satisfaction and expertise into higher income. This restructuring signifies a new horizon for therapists who aspire to balance personal freedom and economic success in their careers.
Addressing Industry Challenges
According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan, the average annual salary for relaxation-related jobs stalls at around 3.8 to 3.9 million yen, falling short of the overall industry average of
4.58 million yen. Many therapists working in conventional settings often endure hours-long shifts while only earning from actual treatment time, leading to the frustrating reality of low effective hourly wages.
Studies also indicate that reasons for leaving the profession frequently include low income and unsatisfactory working conditions. Hence, there is a growing demand for a suitable working environment that addresses both income and flexibility for therapists. It is imperative to create a space where they can align their work schedules and locations with their personal lifestyles, thus translating their skills and client ratings into financial success.
HOGUGU: Empowering Therapists
In response to these challenges, HOGUGU strives to provide an ecosystem where therapists can choose their working hours and locations pertinent to their lifestyles. The app not only facilitates bookings but also visually represents the therapists' performance metrics, allowing them to convert their honed skills and trust gained from clients into ongoing bookings and increased earnings.
Additionally, the company has established a ranking system that evaluates therapists based on various metrics, enhancing their ability to gauge their performance and motivate them towards higher ranks, ultimately leading to greater success.
Evaluating the 'Platinum' Standard
In July 2026, HOGUGU showcased that its 29 Platinum Therapists not only achieved an average monthly revenue of over
900,000 yen but also ensured that the minimum revenue was still beyond
550,000 yen. This indicates that it's not just the standout therapists pushing the average; all 29 possess earnings above the
500,000 yen mark.
The "Platinum" classification signifies the pinnacle of achievement within HOGUGU's ranks. These therapists are recognized for their consistent high-performance records and stellar evaluations.
Notably, even therapists from ranks outside the Platinum classification exceeded 1,000,000 yen in July, meaning that the pathway to elevated income through skills and client relationship building is feasible for therapists across levels.
A Testament to Value
Kanichi Hanaoka, CEO of HOGUGU Technologies, expressed: "We believe that the skills and hospitality of therapists should carry higher values. The average monthly revenue surpassing 900,000 yen among our Platinum therapists exemplifies their commitment to excellence and growing trust with users."
HOGUGU foresees a future where therapists can pick their own hours and locations, knowing that their hard work and skills equate to financial reward. This progressive structure will continue to elevate the perceived value of the profession.
