Kenkoh Franchise Details

Designed in Japan, Kenkoh uses the ancient principles of acupressure to stimulate and soothe the feet and the entire body.

Each pair of Kenkoh footwear has almost 1,000 rubber nodules which are uniquely designed and clinically proven to stimulate the foot’s reflex points in order to revitalise the body, improve circulation, better posture, restore overall balance and improve one’s mood. The massaging footbed is designed to replicate the ancient reflexology treatments its founder, Mr. Yamanashi had researched and perfected over 50 years ago. 

About Kenkoh:

Established in 1965, Kenkoh is the original home of massage footwear, engineered in Japan to the ancient principles of reflexology. The word Kenkoh translates to “health” in Japanese, and it is this philosophy that guides the brand’s designs to this day.

Kenkoh customers have also reported that Kenkoh sandals have helped relieve symptoms of various health conditions. Some of which are neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunions, back pain, sciatica, arthritis, and cold feet.

The Kenkoh Story 

In 1949, Mr. Kyu-kichi Yamanashi established a small shoe factory, manufacturing traditional Japanese Geta footwear in the provincial town of Shizuoka in Japan. After suffering from tuberculosis, Mr. Kyu-kichi began to experiment with ancient oriental feet treatments including ‘take-fumi’ – walking on bamboo shoots – and ‘soku-sin-do’ Japanese acupressure. The impact on his health was remarkable. Mr. Yamanashi made a dramatic recovery, and got inspired to apply these ancient healing principles into the designs of traditional Japanese shoes.

Kenkoh, the first massage sandal was born in 1965. Today, the Yamanashi family continues to design and manufacture Kenkoh using the highest craftsmanship and technology standards, with the aim of promoting an overall state of wellbeing and happiness.
