Onsen Foot Bath

"The next time your feet scream at you for a break, take them to a foot bath, called ashiyu in Japanese. Your revitalized feet will thank you, and their contentment will diffuse throughout your whole body. As soreness and weariness disappear, your arches will be full of spring again, and your entire day will be renewed."

"Many Japanese hot spring resort areas have walking courses, and it is quite natural for tourists to get tired walking hither and thither while taking in the sights, so city planners often  incorporate foot baths into walking routes."more
