Hachikō Memorial Statue

Sad story but great memorial for animal lovers who believe that dog is man’s best friend! Cool a country would make a statue to remember something other than a human. Check this out!

Great place to commemorate Hachiko. A lot of people are usually here taking pictures you will not get a good shot. Come here early in the morning or 3pm in the afternoon few people are queuing during that time.

Everybody wants to take a photo with Hachiko. The people are standing in a queue and organise themself. The photos were taken during some seconds.

I didn't know that Hachiko story when I was working in Japan for more than 2 years while young.

Finally came back again as a tourist and gave a proper visit. It seems there is always a queue to take a photo with the statue. It shows how many people visit Shibuya/Tokyo everyday and how popular this place is.

Feeling great to be here. Much crowded place. The city police and community buses have Hachiko as their mascot.

I saw many of the yt videos mentioned in this famous dog memorial. I finally get to see Japan's big shibuya station and during day-time. I stopped by to try a popsicle. It wasn't a full size 40% was the handle. Oh, well. I exited it to find the customer service and got a map and direction.
A wall memorial and it was on a Sunday so people everywhere. A brief wait under 10 mins for a few snaps. A resting area with metal railings genius. Longer lasting than wood.
The square here was bonkers; a rendezvous area for tourists, locals, cosplayers,politician screaming for votes. Plus it's right next to iconic shibuya crossing.

Nothing really special just an iconic statue but worth visiting since is right next to the shibuya crossing, no need to get out of your way to visit

Every dog deserves 5 stars!

Area and statue was well-kept and everyone made a line to take a picture.
*Good part is the line was made in one direction facing the front of the statue. So I went off towards the side to take a picture. Although I could be right next to the statue, didn't want to wait in line so I took pics everytime someone from the line finished from 20 feet away to the sides of the lines.

popular statue Hachiko at Shibuya there is a crowded people snap a pictures .. in Nov 2023 Hachiko has a bed inside warmeth room.. sayonara Hachiko now we are home.

Have been knowing this story since my high school. Finally I able to get a chance to actually meet this loyal Hachiko in real life. Its story is very touching and this is the reason why the statue was here

A small bronze statue was built in 1948 front of Shibuya Station to commemorate Hachi. Normally very long wait to get a selfie with the selfless dog. Hachikō-guchi means "The Hachikō Entrance/Exit".

Every time I visit Japan, visiting Hachi is a must. It’s a tradition for me to meet my Japanese friend there when I arrive in Tokyo. Don’t disrespect Hachi.

A nice and meaningful place to visit. Make sure you read Hachiko’s story to understand why people line up to have a photo here.

It's amazing to see the Hachiko statue knowing the story behind it. It is the statue of an Akita dog that waited for nine years for the return of its owner (who had died in 1925) until his own death on March 8, 1935. You can take photos with the statue.

In the center of Shibuya, close to the train station where the dog was waiting for its owner.
Busiest intersection I've seen so far
I expected more tourists in the area, but that's also for the better, you didn't have to struggle to take a picture with the dog :-).
Shibuya district is one of the five bustling districts of Tokyo.
Shops and clubs that are open until the wee hours of the night, shops until 11pm

It’s such a great story and we had to go there for the memories.

If you come at around 7 am, you'll be able to take a picture with the statue without waiting

This is the statue of Hachiko that we all knew and loved. You might wanna visit it early to avoid the long queue.

Hachikō is the best. Queue up for a few mins if you wanna take a pic.

Been here for many times and still a memorable thing to take a picture of it. The story behind it is another inspirational thing.
