    The Hachiko statue in Shibuya Center Street may be small, but it’s definitely worth stopping by for a photo when visiting Shibuya! Seeing Hachiko in person and thinking about how he waited at the station for his owner every day was truly moving. The constant crowds around it create the lively, bustling atmosphere of Tokyo.

    This time I visited Shibuya Center Street, and my first impression was, “There are so many people!” Both sides of the street are lined with all kinds of shops, restaurants, and bright signs. The whole area has a youthful, lively atmosphere, and every corner feels distinctly Tokyo.

    Of course, you can’t visit Shibuya without seeing Hachiko! Seeing the Hachiko statue in person for the first time and thinking about the story of him waiting for his owner to return was especially moving, and I couldn’t resist taking a photo. This small bronze statue has become one of Shibuya’s most iconic landmarks.
