2.Shibuya Center Street

2.Shibuya Center Street

A commercial district just across the Shibuya scramble crossing full of people, especially youngsters. In the 1950's, after improvement works were done on the Udagawa River, which frequently caused flood damage in this area, more and more young people began to visit the town. Many restaurants have opened since then, and it has gained the status of a commercial district at the same level as that of Shinjuku. Since then, improvements, such as the construction of an arch, installation of street lamps and street coating, have been made and it has developed into an area people can safely enjoy themselves in. Efforts to make the area comfortable to visit continue today with the organization of various events, crime prevention, and beautification activities. It is extremely popular, especially among the young, with approximately 50,000 visitors on a weekday and about 70,000 on weekends and holidays. There is a wide variety of shops including retail stores, restaurants, game arcades and karaoke stores. It is a 3-minute walk from Shibuya Station on the JR Yamanote Line, Tokyo Metro Ginza and Hanzomon Lines, Keio Inokashira Line, and Tokyu Toyoko and Denenchofu Lines.

3.Hachiko Statue

3.Hachiko Statue

The bronze statue of Chuken Hachiko is in the square of Shibuya station, and is a popular meeting place. The model of this statue was an Akita dog Hachi, who was a pet of Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor in the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Tokyo. Being brought up with a lot of love to become a faithful dog, it was Hachi's daily routine to greet the professor. When the professor suddenly passed away in 1925, Hachi continued to wait for his deceased master at Shibuya Station for 10 years. In 1934, a fine bronze statue of 162 centimeters on a 180 centimeter plinth was built by the donations of people who were moved by Hachi's faithful actions. At the unveiling ceremony, around 300 people gathered including the professor's wife and representatives from various quarters, and it is said that Hachi was also watching with the stationmaster of Shibuya Station. It was once taken away during World War II, but it was reinstalled in 1948, which is the statue that stands today.
