The 10 Best Monuments & Statues in Ueno, Asakusa, Kanto
Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Finally I found this statue! :) It took me 30 minutes by walk from Tokyo University of Art to Tokyo University where this reunited statue displayed... Thumbs up for the artist, because he can made Hachiko And Prof Ueno face sooo real, their expression were captured perfectly, it said all about their relationship

The statue of the Meiji Era Kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro IX as the character Kamakura Gongorō Kagemasa from the play 'Shibaraku' (Wait a Minute!) is very impressive, and outlandish by anyone's standards, even for the Japanese. Its tucked away at the back of Sensoji at the edge of the car park used by tourist coaches and is in front of the rear of the hospital. Its getting an odd reputation as the protector of the hospital (how legends are made and grow). Its well worth a visit if Kabuki is your thing
