hachiko souvenirs?

Hi! Is there any place where I can get miniature Hackiko statues or at least a shop that sells Hachiko products to customers? Where and how do I get there? Thank you!

That's a good question. But although everyone in Tokyo, or everyone in Japan for that matter, have known Hachiko for more than three generations, there are no major souveniors that represent the dog or the statue, apart from movie novelties. However, from a quick internet search, I found Hachiko cookies and Hachiko sauce.

Hachiko Sabure (cookies)

According to the official website of the movie "Hachi" there seems to be other products available.

Unfortunately, I haven't heard of any miniature statues. Hope this helps.

welli'm not sure about the edible stuff but let's hope they make toys from the movie (though i highly doubt it). still i'll be sure to check out the sauce, that's too strange too miss out on nect time i'm in japan! thanks so much, Uco!

Don't know the answer but I'm in Tokyo just now and been keeping my eyes open for Hachi souvenirs - no luck - but the woman at the lottery stall across from the statue has a beautiful brass copy of the statue on her counter. I asked if it was for sale but the answer was no. I can't speak the lingo so I couldn't ask her where she got it - but they must be made somewhere.

Forget Hachiko! The most famous dog in Japan is Softbank's Otousan. The adverts are just so funny I always laugh.

See here for a few clips of the more recent adverts: http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/special/SHIRATOJIRO/

I know that the last post was written rather a long time ago, however, in case anyone happens to stumble on this question, I believe that some sort of Hachiko shop exists.

Apparently it is called Shibuya No Shippo (Tail of Shibuya) and is inside the station itself.

I am going to Japan later this year, and, if anyone gets the chance to visit this shop, perhaps he/she could post a message about it.
