Hachikō Memorial Statue
Tourist attraction
The Hachiko Memorial Statue near Shibuya Scramble Crossing may seem modest, but its story is heartwarming for tourists and locals. In the 1920s, an Akita named Hachiko would wait at Shibuya Station daily for his owner to return from work. Tragically, his owner passed away, but Hachiko's loyalty remained. Today, Hachiko's statue stands as a symbol of unwavering loyalty, making it a popular meeting point for locals. This small bronze statue, located by the Hachiko exit of Shibuya Station, pays tribute to the bond between the Akita and his beloved owner, who now rests beside him at Aoyama Cemetery.

Easy to purchase and no hassle. We had to buy it right at the station since 72 hr ticket is not available from their machines. We got it in a few minutes,scanned the QR code from Klook and got our ticket. It was a good experience.

It was very easy to find after getting off the subway, and the staff were very friendly. I was happy to see Korean staff. The room was much smaller than I expected, and the deluxe twin room had a window, but it had a view of the wall of the building next door. It was small but clean. The floor of the room was carpeted, there was a bathtub, a hair dryer, and there were 4 outlets. I used the water purifier in the hallway. After checking out, I stored my luggage, and they took good care of it, so I left it there without any worries.

The convenient pass is very cost-effective, but it cannot be used on the JR line, so you may want to check the planned route before purchasing or purchasing additional tickets.
