Shibuya, Tokyo
Shibuya is popularly known as the beating heart of Tokyo. It is also the center for youth culture, fashion and shopping experience. Shibuya is located in the southwestern part of Tokyo and is accessible thru walking, by train or by bus.
To get here, take the JR Yamanote Line. Also you can be here by taking JR Saikyo, Tokyo Metro Ginza, Tokyu Toyoko, Hanzomon, and Fukutoshin lines.
Visiting Shibuya will not be complete without taking a photo with Hachiko. Hachiko, a Japanese Akita dog, came to Tokyo with his owner, Hidesaburo Ueno. Hachiko with his owner will always go to station every morning and return every afternoon everytime his owner will come back from work. Then one day the professor did not show up because of hemorrhage. It faithfully waited for his owner for more than nine (9) years until its death. Hachiko taught us loyalty, patience and persistence and Japan kept him alive by means of this bronze statue.
