Shibuya

Hachiko the dog sits admirably among gaudy jumbotrons waiting, waiting and waiting. Story goes, in 1920 a professor, the dog's owner, lived near Shibuya station. Without fail his Akita waited for him to arrive back from work every day. One day the professor died, but Hachiko loyaly remained at the station for 11 years until it, poor beast, died, too.

Good news!!
We unearthed the professor--
