TOKYO -- As the sun set over Tokyo's lively Shibuya district at around 6 p.m. on a recent evening, a group of four European men gathered at the Hachiko statue for a two-hour stroll around the area's more interesting spots.
Located just outside Shibuya station, the statue, which commemorates perhaps the world's most loyal dog, is also one of the city's most popular meeting spots. Tonight, the group has assembled for a tour led by local guide Shogo Nomura. Such tours start at 3,000 yen ($28) for two hours, with various options on offer.
