Hachiko - the infamous canine companion that waited for his master at the train station for 9+ years - has a statue dedicated to him at the Shibuya JR station.  He's so well loved by the Japanese people that they have traced his decendents down to his 29th (?) great grand-pup who currently resides in Tokyo.  The Hachiko statue is also a famous meeting place for friends, though it gets so congested at times that you almost have to specify which part of Hachiko you're at, e.g., his butt, his left paw, etc. 

This was a random temple in Shunjuku.  They're everywhere, nestled amidst the skyscrapers.  You wouldn't know it though by looking at the picture.  Those are cherry trees blooming. :D

Well damn, I had all these awesome pics to upload but the damn server is having problems now.  I'll have to continue later.  Guess that's it for now!
