    If you know the story of Hachiko the dog who waited this is a must see when you go to Tokyo!! It was very emotional for me personally because of my childhood dog that passed away several years ago. The statue has energy! And its a very beautiful one 🐶

    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.

    If you don't know the story of the dog named "Hachiko", check out Richard Gere's "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" The status is located right out side of Shibuya JR train station entrance next to the famous scramble crossing, and it is always swarming with people.

    The idea of having a memorial dedicated to an awesome dog is fantastic. The statute in itself is quite small (about 2.5 meters tall) so it's very easy to overlook. That said, there are plenty of signs inside Shibuya station to point you to the statute and it makes a good meeting point. There's no light around the statute (as you can see from the photo taken around 9pm in summer) and often there are many people smoking or just hanging out in the area. So probably not the best meeting spot but still a pretty good landmark overall.

    There’s nothing special other that the story behind it. People were handling the dog’s legs as it’s very shiny! The statue nearby is more interesting !

    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.

    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.

    Located outside the Shibuya Crossing station. Busy area on a Saturday, but definitely a landmark easy enough to stop by if you’re in the area. There’s a good movie based on a true story to go along with this visit especially for families and kids…Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.

    The most faithful dog in the world goes to Hachiko. I always visit this place during my visit to Tokyo. A little suggestion from me: if you want to take a picture with Hachiko Statue with less crowded,go to Shibuya station in the morning around 6-7 a.m in the morning.

    This was a highlight of my trip. There was probably a 50% line for folks waiting to take a photo with the statue so definitely be prepared to wait for that because it is extremely famous. The story goes that even after his owner died the dog continued to wait at the train station for his owner to return which symbolizes loyalty and love. I gave him a kiss :-)

  • 5/5 Pouya A. 3 years ago on Google
    Great story but not much to see except the statue and a mural on the wall. Very very busy area. Lots of shopping and food around. The sights and sounds are amazing especially at night time.

    The Hachiko Statue in Shibuya is a bronze statue that certainly lets you know that ‘Hatchi’ is certainly one famous dog. It was placed there in honor of the dog’s loyalty to his owner. Hachiko would go there every day to await the arrival of his owner. Sadly, one day his owner passed away at work, yet Hachiko continued to wait there every day for nine years until his own death. The Hachiko statue was erected in 1934 and is located just outside Shibuya Station. It is a very well-known landmark, but I need to warn you that you will have to wait your turn to get a photo. I waited 20 minutes and that was at 10pm in the evening! Now, how do you find Hachiko? The best way if you are arriving by train is to exit the station at exit number 8 on the first floor. Remember, this is a very very busy station that is being redeveloped. So, keep your cool and make your way to exit 8. If you are staying in the Shibuya area it is quite easy to find as it is right next to the famous Shibuya crossing which is often referred to as the ‘scramble’. You get two famous landmarks of Tokyo in the one place. The ‘scramble’ is the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world. When the lights turn green up to 2,500 people cross the road at one time, so be prepared bump, swerve, sidestep, and laugh as you cross. It really is exciting. Back to Hachiko, just as the dog waited for his owner it has become a place to meet up with people. I always say to my wife, if we get separated in the busy streets of Shibuya then we will meet up at the Hachiko exit. If you would like to know a little more, Hachiko was the inspiration for the Richard Gere film “A Dogs Tale”. I recommend you watch it, but spoiler alert: make sure you have some tissues handy. Don’t miss this famous landmark if you ever get the chance to visit Tokyo.

Hachikō would meet Ueno at Shibuya Station every day after his commute home. This continued until May 21, 1925, when Ueno died of a cerebral hemorrhage while at work. From then until his death on March 8, 1935, Hachikō would return to Shibuya Station every day to await Ueno's return. During his lifetime, the dog was held up in Japanese culture as an example of loyalty and fidelity. Well after his death, he continues to be remembered in worldwide popular culture, with statues, movies, books, and appearances in various media. Hachikō is known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō (忠犬ハチ公) "faithful dog Hachikō", hachi meaning "eight" and -kō which originates as a suffix once used for ancient Chinese dukes; thus, Hachikō could be roughly translated as either "Mr. Eight" or "Sir Eight".[4]

    Cool story and statue, very busy area so if you are taking pictures you have to time it just right. A lot of cool things in the area to see and do a fun day trip area you may have to go to a few times because there is so much to do and see in the Shibuya area. Recommend taking the train there is parking but it is very busy. This statue is right outside the station and the Shibuya crossing is right next to this statue too.

    I am a dog lover, and I fully agreed once you raise a dog, it’s a sweet lifetime commitment that you will cherish, love and take well care of your loved one through the life. Dogs I had and I have always give me straight forward loyalty. I traveled a lot and the minute I stepped into the door, my dogs just gave me a warm welcome. Love ya, my dogs.

    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.

    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.

  • 5/5 Alexei G. 4 years ago on Google
    A statue of the famous dog. A huge tourist area so in order to take a picture you do have to wait in a short line. Going earlier in thr day or late at night ensures that you don't have to wait. Lots of teenagers drinking and partying in this area since it's close to Shibuya Crossing. Make sure to educate yourself on the story beforehand it will make you appreciate it more!

    Never like the crowded Shibuya but it was sad to see Hachiko being alone during the first state of emergency in Japan. If you have been to Japan, you probably witnessed the number of people lining up to take a pic with the loyal Hachiko

    Shibuya Station (渋谷駅, Shibuya-eki) is a railway station in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, operated jointly by East Japan Railway Company (JR East), Keio Corporation, Tokyu Corporation, and Tokyo Metro. With 2.4 million passengers on an average weekday in 2004, it is the fourth-busiest commuter rail station in Japan and the world (after Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Ōsaka / Umeda) handling a large amount of commuter traffic between the city center and suburbs to the south and west.

    Hachiko Gate, an exit that is usually swarmed with visitors whenever they visit Shibuya, likewise, I found myself amongst the rest, waiting patiently for my turn to keep Hachiko in my album too. One of the locals I bumped into shared that regardless weekdays, Hachiko Gate remain one of the top places to visit among Shibuya Sky. So, wait not, pop by and say hello to Hachiko!

    This statue is to commemorate and remember Hachiko, the loyal dog who went to the train station every day for 9 years looking for his owner. Unfortunately his owner was killed in WW2 and would never return. This loyal dog is considered a national symbol of Japanese loyalty and stoicism. Ironically, you will wait almost 9 years to take your photo next to the statue if you go on during dinner time or, heaven forbid, on the weekend. The statue is right next to Shibuya Scramble so there will be people everywhere. Just line up and wait for the chance to take a photo. We waited about 5 minutes having gone on a Sunday evening. All that being said, it’s a nice statue and definitely worth the photo. I might recommend coming during the day to avoid massive crowds and get a better photo. There’s also a Hachiko mural right next to the station, although with the large crowds at all times it’s hard to get a nice photo in front of it. Still recommend at least seeing the statue even if you’re not keen on waiting for a photo. It’s an somewhat important part of Japanese culture and history.

    Lovely story. This is a small but lovely statue that comes with a nice story of this very loyal dog. It is beside the Shibuya station and pretty much between there and the Shibuya scramble crossing. Famous in Japan, and surely this story has been heard by many around the world. Touching tale....

    (Translated by Google) This is the statue of Hachiko, a faithful dog that everyone has used once for a meeting at Shibuya Station. The statue of Hachiko, which is installed near the scrambled intersection, is a symbol of Shibuya. Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor at the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Tokyo, had an Akita dog, Hachiko, and died a year later, but Hachiko has been waiting for Ueno for 10 years at Shibuya Station until he died. (Original) 渋谷駅での待ち合せに誰もが一度は、利用したことがある忠犬ハチ公像です。スクランブル交差点の近くに設置されているハチ公像は、渋谷のシンボルになっています。東大農学部の教授だった上野英三郎は秋田犬のハチ公を飼って、一年後に亡くなったが、ハチ公は自身が亡くなるまで10年間も上野の姿を渋谷駅でずっと待ち続けたと云う。

    Cool story of a loyal dog at such a wonderful place in Shibuya. The statue itself is about 2.5m tall and located at the busiest place in Shibuya, so you won't missed it. Everyone will want to take a picture of it. So please be quick and be prepared to wait awhile for your turn.

    The statue is a beautiful and well-crafted tribute to the loyal dog, Hachiko, and serves as a reminder of the strong bond that can exist between humans and animals. The location is also a popular meeting spot, and it's fun to watch the bustle of people coming and going. Must stop if you’re around Shibuya for a photo 🐶

    Come if you don't mind waiting in a long queue to take a picture of Hachikō. I visited during lunch hour and there was already an extremely long queue snaking all around the entire path. I didn't bother queuing as I was alone, but I can imagine it would make for a good photo-op if you were with someone else. The statue is exactly what you would see online on travel websites, and essentially the poor dog's paws have been rubbed so much that the colour was coming off (see pictures for details). If you are taking pictures with it, be mindful to just take a few quick ones so as to allow other people behind you to take too! Or if you're like me, you could just stand at the side (not in the queue) and sneak a shot of the status, albeit with a random person posing next to it.

    Always a comforting sight, the Hachiko Memorial Statue never gets old. Always crowded throughout the day and well into the night, especially on weekends, you can enjoy Hachiko in solitude late at night or during the early morning hours. During the chilly fall season or the freezing winter, anonymous people will dress up Hachiko with a warm knit cap or perhaps a sweater or cloak. Christmas time will often find Hachiko dressed as Santa or perhaps on of his favorite helpers. On Halloween, anything goes!

(Original) 人々が行き交う澁谷の中で、唯一時の流れが止まっているような不思議な感覚。 凛々しく背を伸ばして座り、どんな時も前を真っ直ぐと向いている彼はいつも、その非日常的な感覚を我々にもたらしてくれます。

    Monumento quasi identificativo del quartiere di Shibuya. Rappresenta il cane Hachiko, divenuto simbolo di lealtà e fedeltà per via della suo commovente storia. È un vero e proprio fenomeno molto presente nella cultura di massa giapponese, tanto che gli sono stati dedicati film e libri. Si trova proprio fuori dalla stazione di Shibuya, dando la possibilità di ammirarlo appena usciti dalla stazione e fare l' "obbligatoria" foto con questo iconico animale. Subito dopo il monumento ci si trova nel grande incrocio di Shibuya, pronti a scoprire e visitare i numerosi altri fantastici luoghi del quartiere.

    (Translated by Google) The statue of Hachiko is the real heart of Tokyo, in my countless trips to Japan it has always been a meeting point. Always a thrill to get to Shibuya is to see the statue again. Now besieged by tourists from all over the world. Once, however, it was only a meeting place for the Japanese. Time passes but Hachiko is always there waiting. (Original) La statua di Hachiko è il vero cuore di Tokyo, nei miei innumerevoli viaggi in Giappone è sempre stato un punto di ritrovo. Sempre un emozione arrivare a Shibuya è rivedere la statua. Ormai presa d'assalto da turisti di tutto il mondo. Una volta invece era solo luogo d'incontro dei Giapponesi. Il tempo passa ma Hachiko è sempre li ad aspettare.

    (Translated by Google) Hachiko's bronde sculpture in the region of Shibuya Japan station is a monument to the fidelity of this dog who continued to transit this station in search of his master who passed away and the dog never forgot him. It is a very busy place since it is at the exit of the train station and there is also the famous Shibuya pedestrian crossing, which when the traffic light marks the moment an infinity of people cross. It is the busiest crossing in Japan. (Original) La escultura de bronde de Hachiko en la región de la estación de Shibuya Japón es un monumento a la fidelidad de este perro quien siguió transitando esta estación en busca de su amo quien falleció y el perro nunca lo olvidó. Es un sitio muy concurrido ya que está en la salida de la estación de tren y además allí es el famoso cruce peatonal de Shibuya, que cuando el semóforo marca el momento cruza una infinidad de personas. Es el cruce mas transitado de Japón.

    (Translated by Google) The movie Entotsu Machi no Pupel and Gotanda Candy have a session and are holding a Shibuya tour on Saturdays and Sundays. Another reason is that the number of foreign tourists is decreasing. It is interesting to start at the meeting place in front of Hachiko, see the place where it was set, and then go to the movie. The person who guides the tour is a real guide. I think it's a good start to guide you not only to Hachiko but also to the area around Shibuya. There are still many people, so I want Corona to cancel the state of emergency as soon as possible while avoiding the Three Cs. (Original) 映画えんとつ町のプペルと五反田Candyがセッションして、渋谷ツアーを土日開催しています。 外国人観光客が減っているのも原因です。 ハチ公前を集合場所にスタートし、舞台となった所を観てから映画に行くと面白いです。 ツアーの案内してくれる方は本物のガイドさんです。 ハチ公に限らず渋谷周辺まで案内してくれるスタートに良いと思います。人は今も多く居ますので三密を避けながらコロナは早く緊急事態宣言解除して欲しいです。

    Very cute and very cool, not much to say. Love the statue of this loyal dog. Only downside is it's hard to take a photo of just the statue because people keep going up to tale photos with him (can't blame them though!)

  • 4/5 Arditya L. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited this place in 2016, it's recommended to visit in the morning around 7-9am or earlier to avoid crowds. The statue is well maintained. There's also a kind of mural about Hachiko not far from the statue. The mural itself was built in the 1990 representing Hachi's life. This place is perfect for dog-person.

  • 5/5 Gina P. 1 year ago on Google
    The tour guide played the American movie with Richard Gere Hachi: A Dog's Tale which is based on the story of Hachiko and told us we’d be going to see the actual place the dog waited for his master for almost 11 years. It’s an absolute tear jerker. From wiki:The story is of Ueno who would commute daily to work, and Hachikō would leave the house to greet him at the end of each day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued the daily routine until May 21, 1925, when Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while he was giving a lecture to his class, and died without ever returning to the train station at which Hachikō waited. Very popular place with many tourists wanting a pic of the dog and also the fact that Shibuya Scramble Crossing is there as well. Well worth a visit especially seeing the Scramble.

    We went here on March 30, 2023 and even if it's a weekday, the place was crowded. You have to be fast enough to grab the opportunity to take a picture with the statue. It's right outside the Shibuya station. It's easy to look for.

    Nothing much to say… it’s a small statue of a dog where foreigners where lining up to take photos of it. Is this why some people come to Japan? I think it’s very overrated… no need to see. But if you want to, take the JR exit of the Shibuya station. It’s directly there.

  • 5/5 Donald T. 4 months ago on Google
