About
When you step away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, the tranquility of Tsukiji River Ginza Park unfolds. Here stands a monument to the famous dog Chirori. Chirori was once an abandoned dog on the verge of being euthanized, but was saved and became Japan’s first therapy dog, bringing comfort and hope to many people. The monument depicts Chirori nestled with her puppies, quietly telling her story to visitors. Within the park, there is also an herb garden, where the scents of rosemary and mint drift through the air, making it a small oasis in the city. This place not only honors Chirori’s unconditional love and devotion, but also provides peace and courage to those who visit.
