Hachiko Statue near Shibuya Station to Be Fenced Off on New Year’s Eve; Ward Hopes to Relieve Congestion, Improve Safety
The statue of the loyal dog Hachiko, a small yet iconic landmark in front of JR Shibuya Station, will be surrounded by a temporary fence from the morning of Dec. 31 to early Jan. 1 to help ease congestion when people gather around the station to count down to the new year, Shibuya Ward announced on Wednesday.
