The Hachiko Statue is a heartwarming tribute to one of Japan’s most loyal dogs. Located right outside Shibuya Station, it’s a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. I was really moved by the story behind Hachiko, who waited for his owner every day at the station, even after his owner passed away.
The statue itself is a nice photo opportunity, and it’s surrounded by a lively area, so it’s easy to explore while you're there. It's a simple but meaningful landmark, and I loved learning about this touching piece of Tokyo's history. Definitely worth a quick visit!3 weeks ago — by Wesley
