Shibu-Yeah!

The Shibuya crossing is one of the most distinct intersections in the entire world. Here are just a few pictures of this famous crossing when Bern and I went to Tokyo the other weekend.

 

 

 

    

The train stop to reach this popular destination is called "Hachiko" which is the name of a famous akita dog. The story says that Hachiko would greet his master at the train station everyday after work. One day, the master died at work but Hachiko continued to wait for his master to return at the same time for nine years. Bern says there is a movie about this story called Hachi on Netflix if you're interested. So now at the front of the station there is a bronze statue of Hachiko designated as a meeting place for family & friends getting off the train.
