As far as replayability goes, I think it depends on what you're playing the game for. If you're wanting it to be a really deep, competitive, strategic experience I'm not sure how many plays you'll get before it's just not deep enough. But if you're looking for the relaxing stroll through Japan that I think it's meant to be you can get a lot of really enjoyable plays.
I'm not saying it isn't deep or strategic, I think there's a strong game there. I happen to really love it. But there are definitely games with more going on. It's a pretty simple choice every turn, and some turns that choice can be pretty obvious. But that being said, I've gotten quite a few plays out of it and I'll gladly play it a bunch more. I so greatly enjoy the theme of having the best, most rewarding trip you can have, and it's a theme I can really get into. Playing this game kind of feels like going on vacation, and that's about as replayable of a thing as I can think of.
