Can’t make it to Japan? That’s OK — your teddy bear will send you a postcard

If you’ve longed to tour Tokyo but it’s not in your financial future, fret not — your teddy bear can go for you, thanks to Unagi Travel, the “Japan Travel Agency for Stuffed Animals.”

For a mere $35 to $55, your teddy can enjoy the sights of Tokyo, a trip to a hot spring or a “mystery tour.” For $45, you’ll get a postcard from Teddy and a CD-ROM full of the data (though we’re not sure what that entails, exactly). Plus, the photos will go up on Facebook.

We’ll let Yahoo Travel take it from here:

For fans of the movie “Amelie,” in which a garden gnome disappears from a front yard and mysteriously appears in photos taken at tourist sites around the globe, this is kind of like that: Give your teddy a grand adventure while you sit at home. Talk about a toy story.
