"This statue, located at the exit from Shibuya station, is a memorial in honor of Hachiko, a dog who, despite the death of his owner, continued to go to the station every day for nine years, as usual, to wait for his owner.

I won't deny you that you will shed many tears.. 👣How to get there: reachable on foot from Shibuya Station (40m,1min).Metro stop: Shibuya, Ginza and Hanzomon line. 🎟️Ticket cost: free"
"Hachiko was a real dog who lived in Tokyo in the early 1900s. After his owner passed away, he continued to wait for his owner at a train station everyday. Hachiko became famous for his loyalty and devotion. The current statue, which was erected in August 1948, still stands and is a popular meeting spot. "
