About this place

A facility in Akita where you can meet Akita dogs. It has an exhibition room where you can see real Akita dogs, a museum introducing the roots and characteristics of the Akita dog, and a corner stocked with Akita souvenirs. The exterior is modeled on the Shibuya Station of the days when Hachiko the loyal dog waited for his master, and on the lawn beside the facility you can also see a car of the so-called "Blue Frog" that ran on the Toyoko Line and elsewhere.
