A Visit To Shibuya Train Station (Hachiko�s Station)!

My son flew to Haneda International Airport recently and visited Shibuya train station. That’s the very train station that loyal Hachiko waited for his master for many, many years.

Sobs, I know…I cried buckets after watching Richard Gere’s movie. I don’t think I have ever cried as much after watching any movie in my entire life because I remember still crying buckets when I went to sleep that day.

Anyway, my son said the whole town is abuzz with Hachiko momentos.

Here are some photos that he took:

Hachiko, I would bow before thee.

�A Hachiko bus!

Hachiko caricatures are everywhere to commemorate this great dog.

(Warning: You WILL cry, even reading this short Wikipedia write-up, so get ready your tissues. I did…sobs. But you cannot not know about this great dog, so brave yourself and please read it. Then, go hug your pet for comfort. I’m hugging Tabs now. Sobs…)
