Today Starts with Dogs and Cats

Off to Shibuya Station and the Dog part of the morning

Hachikō (ハチ公, November 10, 1923 – March 8, 1935) was a Japanese Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno.   Hachikō would meet his owner after work at the Shibuya Station.  Ueno died and Hachikō continued to wait for over nine years following Ueno's death.

Then, off to Cat Street.  Yes, it is a thing, it is a quiet backstreet with limited car traffic, lined with funky & upmarket fashion boutiques & cafes.  But we saw no cats.





Our morning walking tour continued to Yoyogi Park and Meiji Jingu Shrine

How did I end up with 0 images of the park and only 2 images here of the Shrine?
