Life in Japan: #001

Shopping center in front of Higashi-Nagasaki Station, the closest station to where I currently live.

Hachikō Statue in front of Shibuya Station. Hachikō was a dog that went to this station everyday to meet his owner returning from work. After his master's death, Hachikō continued to commute to the station everyday until his own death 10 years later. This statue was built in honor of his loyalty; it has since become a popular meeting spot, which is what I was doing.

Not sure if they were real monks but they were protesting (by chanting) against self-defense legislation, which they're calling war legislation. The lady on the right was explaining why very politely. So Japanese. 
The infamous Shibuya Scramble Crossing. That's consider light pedestrian traffic. You should see it on a weekend evening.
