Hachiko
Shibuya Ward administration continues to try to distance the neighborhood from its Halloween party place image.
Participants will be paid to display advertisements on a special iPad app as they walk around.
The third release in the Adidas x Atmos Shibuya Pack promoting Tokyo street culture to the world.
Symbol of loyalty turned into a sign of the times, but Tokyo authorities ask people to stop.
The iconic green train car that sits in front of Shibuya Station’s Hachiko statue is finding a new home.
The deep irony is that Hachiko wouldn’t even have been able to enjoy this tasty souvenir for himself.
The unofficial ambassador for Shibuya and Harajuku makes sure to keep the statue of famously loyal dog Hachiko clean.
Meet the new winged Hachiko of the field. You could probably stage a ballet out of this story somehow.
