- Steve ZhangMarch 6, 2015Say hello to Hachikō, cross the famous Shibuya Crossing. Shop at Center Gai (main shopping street), and spend all your money at Loft and the a-maz-ing Tokyu Hands, there is now a café on the 9th floor

💋 AuroraFebruary 22, 2015Once you get off at the Shibuya station, go out the Hachiko Exit to see his murals and statue. There is also the Hachiko bus that goes around Shibuya for 100JPY.

A sweet kitty lives at the statue now, so you get two animals in one landmark 👍🏻Upvote2Downvote- Raj S.August 26, 2014Hachiko would wait every day for his master outside the entrance to Shibuya.

MimiJuly 24, 2015Hachiko's story is so beautifully touching. You guys should watch the movie. I really hate how they made a smoking booth right next to the Hachiko statue. Why would you do that?! Ruined it for me.Upvote2Downvote
Eric EspirituJuly 1, 2017On most days, especially on weekends, Hachiko becomes everyone's meeting place. Be prepared.
