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.

This is a must-have Metro Pass if you are traveling in Tokyo, where you can't transfer and the subway fare is expensive. If you purchase it, you will receive a voucher like the attached photo, and you can easily receive it by scanning the QR code at a specific station in Tokyo. I highly recommend it!
