For tourists who enjoy traveling alone or with friends without a guide, they will enjoy this friendly and knowledgeable iPen tour guide.
Linked with the Ya Era Coin Guide, the iPen tour guide can tell travelers something special about the location they are currently at or plan to go to. By tapping a location on the map with the iPen, tourist information about the spot will be revealed via the stationery item.
This informative and handy device was conceived by One Coin Guide shop and is available in Japanese, English and Chinese. After a $25 security deposit is made to ensure its return, the device can be rented out for $6. Unfortunately, this awesomely compact tool is only available in Asakusa and parts of Toyko.
