To pay respect to Hachiko’s obedience and faithfulness towards his master, the community unveiled Hachiko’s bronze statue in front of the Shibuya Train Station in 1934. It was a grand ceremony, and Hachi himself was present as the chief guest.
Sadly, a year later, the world’s most faithful dog passed away on March 8, 1935. It was a peaceful death. In memory of Hachiko, his monument was built next to Ueno tomb in Aoyama Cemetary.
There is a wall at Shibuya Train Station that is with huge mosaic artwork, celebrating Hachiko’s legacy. Every year, thousands of tourists hoard to visit the train station.
