Moyai Statue

While Shibuya Station's famous Hachiko statue draws massive crowds, savvy locals often gather on the opposite side of the station beside the quirky Moyai Statue. Gifted by the volcanic island of Niijima, this Easter Island-style sculpture is carved from rare local rhyolite rock and features distinct faces on both its front and back. The name honors the island dialect word moyai, meaning to cooperate or work together as one. It stands as a charming public art piece and an iconic rendezvous point in the bustling heart of Shibuya.
