Hachiko Statue

The loyal dog who waited — the meeting point beside the world's busiest crossing.

To a passer-by it is a bronze dog. Know the story — Hachiko waited at Shibuya Station for his owner for years after the professor died — and it becomes one of Tokyo's most moving spots. Start here: Hachiko → Scramble Crossing → Shibuya Sky is the natural sequence.
