Hachiko Statue
4.4 (26,415)attraction
4.4 (26,415)Outside Shibuya Station, a small bronze Akita stands as a quiet monument to loyalty and Tokyo's favorite meeting spot.
Description
The story behind the sculpture rests on an Akita who returned to the station daily for nine years following his owner's death in 1925. Located right by the station exit near Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the small monument sits in the middle of the surrounding bustle. Visits are typically a quick stop, though photo lines build up during peak hours
