Friends from Grand Rapids, Gary and Gina, arrived to our apartment on May 10th. After a quick walk around our neighborhood, we went on to Shibuya to pick up Bill, Takako and Satomi for dinner.
There is a statue of a dog, Hachiko, located by the Shibuya station. Please go to this Wikipedia link to read about the touching story of Hachiko and his owner.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%C5%8D The statue is a very common place for meeting up with people-"Meet you at Hatchiko!" I have never passed Hachiko without seeing someone taking photos of him.

You never know what you'll see while in Shibuya. I believe this vehicle was advertising a new movie.
A couple of views of Shibuya. Gina noticed the sign that had her name on it.
It's an interesting 10 minute walk to the Amway building.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner with Takako and Satomi taking over the ordering and serving. Well done, girls!

The meal was delicious! It was dark and windy when we left the restaurant. Shibuya has a whole different look at night.
