Exact Location of Hachiko-Ueno Statue 2015/3/2 08:26
I read that there is a new statue of Hachiko and his owner being unveiled in March at the University of Tokyo. Which campus would this be at? Nakano, Hongo, Kashiwa, Shirokanedai, Komaba, or Kemigawa? thank you

Thank you for the link. But, sorry, I don't read Japanese. Need the answer in English.

If I'm reading correctly the unveiling ceremony is going to be held near the main gate of the Faculty of Agriculture where the statue is situated.

Seems like it's on the Hongo (Yayoi) campus. Does anyone know what is the nearest train station? Can we walk from the station, would we have to take a taxi to the campus???

You can probably walk (10 minutes?) from the Hongo-Sanchome station (M-21) on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line.

The statue will be set the main gate of faculty of agriculture, University of Tokyo, Yayoi Campus.
The opening ceremony begins on the 8th March 2015, 13:00-15:00.

Tokyo metro "Todai-mae" station is the closest but you can walk from "Ochanomizu" and "Hongo-3-chome" station between 15-20 mins.

Jackie, If you get info in a foreign language you don't understand, use Google translate. It is not 100% correct but one get a fairly good idea.
