Kyota Hatsumei M900 vs. Yutaka M898: Which Should You Choose?
The Kyota Hatsumei M900 AI 4D and Yutaka M898 4D both currently cost $4,999 on our website. The most useful first difference is fit: their published user-height ranges are not the same. Their dimensions, controls, and foot-roller arrangements also differ.

Let user fit narrow the choice
For a shorter adult, Hatsumei’s lower starting height recommendation makes it the more relevant candidate of these two to investigate. For someone above 6 feet 2 inches, Yutaka is the only one of this pair whose published height range extends higher.
Within the overlapping range, compare seat depth, hip width, shoulder width, and footrest adjustment. A wider dimension in one area does not make a chair universally roomier. Neither a body scan nor a listed height range guarantees that a chair will feel right to every user.

Check the width and reclining space separately
Hatsumei is listed as three inches narrower overall when upright. Yutaka has a one-inch shorter listed reclined depth. That means the better room fit depends on your layout, not just which chair looks smaller in a photo.
These are finished-chair dimensions. Confirm carton sizes and the approved delivery configuration before relying on a doorway measurement. Review our room and delivery-access guide for the full checklist.
Choose features you will actually use
Hatsumei offers more automatic programs and an AI custom massage generator. Yutaka adds wireless phone charging and a quick-access joystick. Both offer adjustable 4D massage, but a higher program count does not establish a better massage for every user.
The dual-versus-triple foot-roller distinction is another feature to compare. Roller count alone cannot tell you which sensation you will prefer. Watch the manufacturer demonstrations and ask about the settings available on each model.
Which one belongs on your shortlist?
- Investigate Hatsumei first if its lower user-height range, narrower overall width, or program selection addresses your needs.
- Investigate Yutaka first if its taller upper height range, joystick, or wireless charging matters more.
- Compare another model if neither fits. The complete Kyota comparison gives you the wider selection.
