Dr. Fish

Hello there! I just thought it would be wonderful to share this unique experienced we just had recently.


Dr.Fish as it is popularly known here in Japan gained its popularity in some Spa's and Onsen . The fish name is Garra Rufa, and said to help remove the superficial layer of the epidermis ( Dead skin). The experience is quite amusing and unique; when you soaked your feet these fishes will swim towards your feet and start to nibble on your dead skin cells. It's scary at first because you fill electrifying sensation because of those little tiny tiny sharp teeth nibbling your toes , it tickles for sure but once you get used to it , you may find it relaxing as if you were actually doing a foot spa. At the place where we tried allows ten minutes at a very reasonable price of 700 yen compare to actual foot spa and your feet feels so smooth and refresh.  

My husband and I enjoy this wonderful unique experience.
