Fishy pedicure for Japanese feet
Agencies
Hakone: The Japanese are known for eating more fish than any other nation in the world -- now fish may have a chance to get their own back.
In a beauty treatment imported from Turkey, bathers at “Dr Fish”, a new spa in the hot spring resort of Hakone, dip their feet into a warm pool teeming with fish that nibble away at dead skin and bacteria.
The toothless Kangal fish, just a few centimetres long, are touted as a cure for skin conditions such as psoriasis in Turkey, but for the hygiene-obsessed Japanese it’s more about getting their feet squeaky clean.
The experience is ticklish, rather than painful, bathers say. “They’re eating the bad stuff and it makes me feel better,” Shingo Kamiya, a 45-year-old customer at the spa said as the fish swarmed around his bare toes.
