Travel Japan – Foot Fish Therapy

This is part of a series of 1080p High Definition videos I shot while vacationing in Japan. I wanted to capture a sense of the real sights and sounds of Japan.

I shot this with my canon 7d and 10-22mm canon wide angle lens.

There were many different sights near the bottom of Kotohira Temple in Kagawa (temple of a 1000 steps). These folks were getting “fish therapy”. It looks like the little fish were nibbling the dead skin on their feet. Not good for those with ticklish feet. Apparently this is the latest spa craze to have fish snacking on your feet. The fish nibble the dead skin from your feet, but don’t eat the healthy skin. This practice originates Japan and other asian countries, but is outlawed in many US states for health reasons.
