    Gotta say, love TWEWY and always loved the love and care that was put into the areas and art, that I always wanted to go there to see the place.

    I have to say, I love kotaku sometimes. Its the weird and rare posts that come along and really make me smile. Sure you guys report the news like everyone else, but its stuff like this that I love. Thanks for making my day guys. I hope you all have a fantastic time in Japan.

    Come now, if you're ever going to have an opportunity to buy a man-sized purple hoodie, Tokyo is it. Do itttt! Live the dream! I know for a fact I saw purple hoodies for sale in Kichijoji. And anything for sale out there is available closer in, for sure. Maybe they don't have the stripes, but the purple-and-black saddling is easy to find, and hell, you could iron on the yellow borderline. Very doable.

    Tangentially, I think it's awesome that guys in their 30s can still wander around and take goofy photos based on games they loved like that. All my friends are so damn serious all the time.

    That's a different place, not Hanekoma's cafe. I'd also be interested to know if it was actually based off of someone's cafe.

    @SonicTheMonkey: Yeah, Outback Cafe is definitely not Hanekoma's cafe. Outback Cafe/Starbucks is in the scramble crossing. Hanekoma's is a different area of Shibuya.

    Good ol' Hachiko. If anyone isn't familiar with the story of that dog, let me give you the abridged version.

    So everyday a college professor would walk with his dog Hachiko to the train station, and everyday when the professor would return to the station from work, Hachiko would be there for him, waiting.

    Well one day, the professor said good-bye to Hachiko, and headed off to work. Unfortunately, the professor had a heart-attack at work and died. Hachiko waited patiently for his return just like every evening, but alas, his owner never returned.

    Everyday Hachiko would go to Shibuya station and wait for his owner. This went on everyday for the rest of the dogs life. It's said that they moved the dog closer to the station just so it was easier for him to get to the station, but who knows.

    A very sad story. Always make sure to visit if you're in Tokyo. Most people use the statue as a meeting place. Quite fitting actually.

    That's it, I have to stop reading Kotaku for a few days. If I don't, I'm either going to explode from jealousy or impluse-buy a ticket to Tokyo, then discover when I get there that a year of college Japanese isn't that much and my bank account is empty...
