Hachiko is an Akita dog which is natural monument dog of Japan.
He lived 1923-1935.
Hachiko waited his master at this place 10 years after the master passed away.
This story is covered by Hollywood movie HACHI starring by Richard Gere.
Now it’s a meeting place for people!

At most 3000 people cross here on 1 signal.
On Halloween day, big sports events day, and new year’s eve many people gather here naturally.

It’s a city park with sand valley ball field, skateboard course, bouldering wall,many stores, cafes and restaurants.
