On the opposite side of Shibuya crossing, there is a statue of famous dog Hachiko in the entrance of Shibuya Station.The dog has become a symbol of the district, even the whole Japan, because of a true story. Hachiko waited for the return of his master from the same train station everyday, but one day the master died at work and never came back to the station. The dog continued to wait for the master as always until it died one day. Because of this moving story, there are lots of tourists coming in Shibuya Station for admiring the loyalty of Hachiko.
