Well, now you can pay the cost of such an adventure and send someone—or something—else in your place: your stuffed animal!
The last few years, a travel agency in Tokyo, Japan has made a decent living taking travel plans for stuffed animal owners.
All it costs for the Tokyo tour is $45 or $55 for the onsen (hot spring) trip plus the cost of shipping the toy to the agency. There is a weight limit though: No stuffed animals over 0.55 pounds allowed. Sorry, Fatty the Bear!
As weird as it sounds, the agency does do a lot of good. It's geared toward people who can't make the trip themselves due to handicaps and illnesses.
Some have even mustered up the inspiration to rehabilitate after seeing photos of their stuffed animal having a good time, wanting to visit the place themselves.
So if you can't get out and see the world, at least your playthings can!
