HACHIKO PLACE
This is the meeting place for Tokyoites and tourists. Touching the snout of the devout dog Hachikō will bring you luck!
This is where the statue of Shibuya's famous dog, Hachikō (1923-1935), who became famous in Japan for his devotion, is located. In the 1920s, he waited every day for his master to return from work. The latter died without being able to say goodbye to his dog. Hachiko waited for him every day for ten years in the square. At that time, Shibuya was a small suburb. Today, it is the meeting place of all Tokyoites and tourists. The tradition is to touch the snout of the animal to wish each other good luck.
