| Japanese Spa's
  Wine Spa, under a giant object of a wine bottle. The spa management claims it has health benefits such as relieving fatigue, moisturizing action and anti-aging
In this spa in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, bathers gather to see the throwing of wine, performed several times a day. A warning is given to the underage or drivers not to drink the wine during the performance.   Green Tea Spa, boasting health benefits like preventing rough dry skin, whitening or effects for cold constitution.   Strawberry Spa, It claims health benefits such as moisturizing action and skin care by applying strawberry juice and skim milk.  
A fresh-water fish in the carp family, that has a habit of nibbling the cornified layers of human skins. Bathers are advised to keep their feet in the water for about three minutes for toe nibbling by the fish.  Japanese Sake, or rice wine, is applied in the spa. In the back, a giant Sake barrel is placed. The spa management claims it has health benefits including skin care, relieving backache and cold constitution.

I don't think the idea would fly very well here in NA where bath houses are...unpopular to non-existent. Whether a individual spa could benefit from offering these treatments is debatable. They'll certain get good (free) media attention for their efforts. These ideas are very "Asian".

oomg i've been in one of those fish spas. I was sitting in the spa with the water up to my neck and it was the STRANGEST feeling ever.
Those things literally suck on your skin but it feels like tiny needles poking you over and over again, it actually hurt a bit =(
As for the rest of the spas, i could easily just sit in my bathtub and pour in some strawberry juice and skim milk or make a tub full of green tea and sit in it. it's free, too. hmm.

There's bath houses here too. They're just there for the gay people though and I mean this quite literally.
I would like to try the fish. I wonder if they've ever had a problem with a brat kid trying to squish all the fish...

I actually went to that spa, but didn't go to the whacky theme pools they have. They have an bathing-suit-required area with all that crazy shit, or a traditional onsen area. You can also buy admission to both, but I didn't have a bathing suit with me.

I went to see if I had any pictures from my trip to this spa (it's called Yunessun by the way, if you ever want to go there) but all I found were some pics of this unusual car I saw on the way there:   | |
