Snow Dog
All kinds of great non-snowmen appeared around Tokyo after the last big dump of snow – from transforming Snow Pikachus, to Snow Shrines Dedicated To Crossdressing TV Celebs – but this one is my favorite! If you’ve ever been to Shibuya, you’ll recognize the statue of Hachiko, the faithful dog who waited at the station every day for the dead master who never returned. But isn’t it sort of cheering to see that someone built lonely old Hachi a lady friend for Valentine’s Day?
Thanks to the Bonjour Tokyo Facebook page for this great snap!

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
Hachiko and his friend, Yuki!
Ahahahaha! ( *｀ω´)
Oh! I didn’t realize it was a lady friend! Nice one, Jamie.
(I actually had to emergency google to make sure Hachiko was a he, but WHEW, lady friend stands!)
Yuki-chan looks lovely. I haven’t seen it! (^-^) Great find..!
Yeah, but you snapped that fantastic celeb shrine in front of the salon! Major score!
