Hachikō Memorial Statue
Tourist attraction
The Hachiko Memorial Statue near Shibuya Scramble Crossing may seem modest, but its story is heartwarming for tourists and locals. In the 1920s, an Akita named Hachiko would wait at Shibuya Station daily for his owner to return from work. Tragically, his owner passed away, but Hachiko's loyalty remained. Today, Hachiko's statue stands as a symbol of unwavering loyalty, making it a popular meeting point for locals. This small bronze statue, located by the Hachiko exit of Shibuya Station, pays tribute to the bond between the Akita and his beloved owner, who now rests beside him at Aoyama Cemetery.

A must-buy if you go to Northeast China! This time I wanted to relax and stay in Sendai for four nights. The main reason is that the itinerary can be adjusted. Several established attractions depend on the weather to decide where to go that day! I originally wanted to go to Aizuwakamatsu, but the weather was bad those days, so I decided to go to Tokyo to watch the Christmas lights lighting up! Because you have a pass, you can have such freedom. The machine is convenient for seat selection. However, if there are more than two people traveling together, it will be difficult to draw seats together on trains that are too close in time. Please pay attention.

This time I bought a one-day pass to go to Chichibu and Nagatoro. Personally, I think it’s very worthwhile. The scenery is beautiful, especially the natural scenery of Nagatoro! But what you should pay special attention to is that the ticket exchange place has very short business hours, only from 8 am to 3 pm! Take the time to exchange your tickets! In addition, it is recommended to buy a special ticket and take La View to Chichibu. It saves time and the seats are very comfortable😌

I had the best experience during the tour even though I went solo. Betty is an excellent tour guide. She provides clear instructions, entertains us with her stories and humor, and would suggest the best views of Mt Fuji. You will really feel being taken cared of.
