Visit Japan With Hello Kitty

Cute alert here!  the Japanese National Tourism Organization has an adorable free Hello Kitty app, that I just downloaded from iTunes (you must download this before leaving for Japan).

The app contains a collection of region specific HELLO KITTYs with local themes or features in the costume or the background. There are more than 50 types!  And, yes, each is cuter than the next!

There are more than 50 of these!

Take pictures!!  The app is equipped with camera functions. If you use this camera during your Japan trip, locally themed HELLO KITTYs appear on the screen. You can take a picture with the special location specific HELLO KITTY and keep it as a special memory!  Wow, this is better than the Travelocity gnome!

Picture you in the photo with Hello Kitty!
