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.

The ticket buying process is simple and easy to use, just use the QR barcode to enter the venue. I chose the entry time at 14:40, and after walking around and taking pictures, you can also see the sunset view, great!

I’ve stayed at APA Asakusa for a few days and used the subway frequently, the 72-hour Tokyo Subway Ticket is an excellent option. It’s affordable, easy to use, and provides convenience, making it perfect for a tourist-focused itinerary like me.

It is recommended to order early so you don’t have to worry about running out of tickets! If you order too late, there are not many time tickets to choose from! It is indeed a popular attraction and there are a lot of people!

How can you not eat wagyu beef when you come to Japan? This is my second time here and I still highly recommend this place. There are many cuts to choose from. You can tell the waiter not to order the appetizer (which is ridiculous) hahaha. The texture of the oil cuts through your mouth. The wagyu beef is really delicious. You can taste various parts in this shop~~
