"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. This touching story is also told in a film "Hachiko" and if you have never seen it this is the right opportunity! I won't deny you that you will shed many tears..

"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. "
