The ideal vantage point to stand and watch Tokyo’s teens come out to play in their thousands, even on school nights. The exit is named after a dog who would turn up at the station every day to wait for her master. When her master died, in the 1920s, Hachiko continued to show up daily until her own death 11 years later. The show of dedication touched Tokyo hearts and led to the statue in her honour. The gesture is possibly Shibuya’s only nod to sentimentality.
