We know it's a terrible cliché, but there is just no way of getting around the fact that Japan is the land of anime, video games, Hello Kitty and a whole slew of endlessly cute virtual characters. So keeping that in mind, no trip to Tokyo could be complete without a video game to get you ready for the trip. Japan Life is packed with enough hugable and totally lovable anime characters to get you ready for the neon-filled colorful lights of Japan's bustling capital. Pick one from a set of unbearably cute characters (including a reindeer and a kimono-wearing monkey, just to name a few) – and off you go managing your own Japanese tourist attraction! Think of the game as a version of SimCity, albeit set in a fictional Japanese wonderland. Japan Life may have little to do with actual real life in the country of the rising sun, but it is guaranteed to keep you entertained for the duration of your trip.
