I went to the Aldgate British pub in Shibuya to watch the greatly-anticipated Wales vs England Six Nations opener. With the BBC commentary, chilli con carne in my tummy and a mug of Strongbow, it didn't feel like Japan at all!!!The Aldgate pub is near the 八チ公 Hachiko Exit of Shibuya Station.
Hachiko was a dog who, in 1924, would wait for his owner every day at the station at the end of the day and walk him home. His owner died at work in 1925 and never returned. However, but the dog continued to wait at the station at the same time each evening for 10 years, and the dog became famous nationwide.
Today Hachiko's mural is a popular landmark for meeting friends.
