Installed in 1952 after being gifted by a local dentist, the bronze statue affectionately known as the Little Peeing Monk has become one of Tokyo's most beloved station oddities. For decades, a dedicated volunteer group has dressed the little figure in custom-tailored outfits that change monthly, celebrating everything from seasonal festivals to civic milestones. Twice a year, in March and November, he dons a miniature firefighter uniform to support local fire prevention campaigns. Catching a glimpse of his latest ensemble offers a delightful, whimsical slice of daily commuter culture in the heart of the city.
