A new service is now available for people in Japan who want to relax in a unique way. Customers in Tokyo can make an appointment at the Japanese cuddle club Soineya, in order to get some rest on human butt pillows.

One minute of relaxation on a human butt pillow costs $11, the international press reports. Customers can ask for the oshiri makura (butt pillow) service and rest their heads on the behinds of the female staff.

The club opened last year, in September, in Akihabara district in Tokyo and the business seems to do well, as Soineya recently opened up another branch in Shinjuku.

For using Soineya’s services, customers have to pay first an admission fee that starts at Y3,000 (around $34). Then they can buy premium services, such as foot massage.

There are also cheaper services for customers who don’t want to spend too much money at the cuddle club. Soneya’s services include laying in a female employee’s lap, which costs $11 for three minutes.

Japan is not the only country where people can pay for cuddling. In the United States, in New York, clients of Jackie Samuel, a 29 year-old woman who calls herself a “professional snugger”, can pay $60 an hour for an innocent snuggle in bed.
