Fishy Feet

It seems the Japanese fondess for fish has taken a twist this week.

In the town of Hakone, famous for it's onsen (hot springs), people have been lining up to get their feet cleaned...by fish.

The toothless Kangol fish nibble at dead skin and bacteria, and in a technique that has been imported from Turkey, is proving popular with the cleanliness obsessed Japanese.
