Visit Japan with HELLO KITTY

Love travelling to Japan? Then you probably shouldn't miss out on this cute little app that was launched by the Japan Tourism Agency last year. It "introduces great places to visit in all of Japan's 47 prefectures and enables users to take a picture at each location with HELLO KITTY".

Muiee Phan, a Singaporean blogger, tried out the app during her trip to Tokyo last year and wrote all about it on her blog. Do check it out if you want to know what it's like. =)

It looks rather cute...although Muiee mentioned that you need 3G or connection to the local wifi in order to access the AR Camera, which is a camera function that comes with a location specific HELLO KITTY stamp. For instance when you launch the AR Camera upon reaching Nagano, you'll get a HELLO KITTY that represents the local culture. =)

Keen to try it out? You can download the "Visit Japan with HELLO KITTY" iPhone app on iTunes for free! Muiee has generously offered to share some photos that she took with the app but for more details, but DO visit her website!

PS: It's in Mandarin. But here's the official website in English for you, just in case!

If you've tried the app too, then I'll love to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments below. XD
