The story of Hachiko has gained incredible fame outside Japan. Several films have been shot. All this was happening here, next to Shibuya Station.

Hachiko, I think everyone has heard about him.
There's always a queue to take a photo.

The dog is a legend! A model of love, loyalty and devotion. After watching both films about Hachiko, we couldn't help but visit his monument.

"There is a bronze monument to a dog named Hachiko near the exit of the Tokyo Shibuya Station building.
<...> ... It is a Japanese national symbol of loyalty, devotion and friendship.
Hachiko's story is not made up. In 1923, Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor at the University of Tokyo, was presented with an Akita puppy by a farmer. The professor lived near the Shibuya railway station, and every morning the dog accompanied him to the station. Hachiko watched him go, then sat down on the square in front of the train station and waited until the owner returned from work.
This became a daily ritual, and it continued until May 1925, when one day the owner did not return. The professor suffered a brain hemorrhage and died suddenly.
For .... nine years, Hachiko came to the square near the train station and waited. He appeared every day at exactly the hour of the train's arrival.
<...> The legendary loyalty of Hachiko has become a national symbol of devotion for the Japanese.
Teachers and parents set the dog as an example for children to teach them true values and explain what friendship is, to couples in love, Hachiko served as a symbol of selfless love and marital fidelity.
Hachiko died in March 1935. A year before his death, a bronze monument was erected at Shibuya Station, and Hachiko himself attended its opening.
During the Second World War, the statue was melted down for ammunition, but after the end of the war, in 1948, the monument was restored.
Every year, on April 8, a solemn ceremony is held in Tokyo to commemorate Hachiko" (https://kulturologia.ru/blogs/240715/25442 /).
Rhetorical question: "Why melt down the "symbol of selfless love and marital fidelity" for ammunition during the war, if after the end of the war (after the defeat and the signing of the act of surrender ...) Should I restore this symbol?!
Alas, I cannot understand and make such a decision with my mind and heart.

This monument is very popular among tourists and locals. It is a symbol of loyalty and devotion, so everyone rushes to Hachiko. During the day, a queue is built in to take a photo, in the evening it is more free. The monument is located next to the surface train and subway station, at the busiest intersection in Tokyo. I recommend

The sweetest story of the loyalty of our lesser brothers with an expression in the monument. When exiting the subway, it's hard not to notice, tourists are constantly crowding around it))))
