What to expect at Hacchan-do Acupuncture and Moxibustion - For First-Time Visitors

〇 Features

Non-piercing needles

By touching acupuncture points on the body surface, we remove stagnant energy, restore the flow of energy within the body, and balance the entire system.

We tailor the treatment to the individual's innate constitution and age-related physical strength. We also adjust according to the seasonal energy; in spring and summer, we align with the dynamic and expansive energy, while in autumn and winter, we focus on internal nourishment. This helps to replenish physical strength while improving and resolving symptoms. (This is not a therapy that pierces the body or uses electricity to vibrate and loosen muscles.)

The needles used at Hacchan-do Acupuncture and Moxibustion are special silver needles finished by hand by craftsmen. They conduct energy well, providing a soft, gentle, and pleasant sensation for those receiving treatment.

Many people do not even realize the needles are being used, and they often feel their tension melt away, becoming relaxed and sleepy.

Applicable conditions

In addition to physical recovery and fatigue relief, we also address: Menopausal discomfort, menstrual irregularities, insomnia, eye strain, neck, shoulder, and lower back pain, cold sensitivity, and other concerns. Please feel free to consult with us.

Practitioner Profile

Hacchan-do Acupuncture and Moxibustion Representative: Motoyo Iwasaki
Acupuncturist and Qigong Instructor
Born January 1, 1963, in Kushiro City, Hokkaido
Opened Hacchan-do Acupuncture and Moxibustion in 2008.

Born and raised in Kushiro City, I learned software programming after graduating from high school and started my career. After working in the computer industry for 25 years, I changed careers to my current path.

My interest in Eastern medicine began when my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 lung adenocarcinoma at the age of 61. Through that experience, I encountered a health practice called "Qigong."
I have now been practicing it for 26 years.

I am currently (in 2026) 63 years old. In May 2023, when I turned 60, I spent one month walking from the 37th temple to the 88th temple of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage and completed the vow. I have documented the encounters and days of gratitude from that time in my "Shikoku Pilgrimage Journal." I am still looking back on and writing about that time even now.
