Shibuya - Statue of Hachinko

Shibuya - Statue of Hachinko

Hachiko (from hachi "eight" because he was the eighth puppy of a litter and "ko" which is a suffix used for affection) is a dog akita (Japanese breed) who came and wait for his master near the station for more than 10 years after his death... (It is the same story as greyfriars bobby in Edimbourg in Scotland). A statue is put on Shibuya square and it is used as a meeting point.
