Hachikō Statue

Every evening, Akita dog Hachikō would go to Shibuya Station to greet his companion, a university professor. It's a practice he kept up every day for 10 years after the professor's death, and until his own. This small bronze statue in front of Shibuya Station was put up in honor of the dog's unwavering loyalty. It's a well-known landmark and the surrounding plaza (outside the eponymous Hachikō exit) is Shibuya's de facto rendezvous point (and always full of people).
