Hachikō Statue

One of the most frequented meeting places in the city of Tokyo is located in front of the Shibuya Train Station: Hachiko's statue. Hachiko was an Akita dog who, even after the death of his master in 1925, faithfully continued to wait for his owner to return from work every evening on at the time scheduled for over ten years. In 1934 after the dog's death and due to his popularity, a bronze statue was erected in his honor at the place where, every afternoon, he waited for his deceased owner.
