Want to see all the “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale” film locations? While the true story of Hachiko took place in Japan, the movie was filmed in Rhode Island and we show you where!
The Hachi film locations were chosen for their feel, accessibility, and relation to the real story of Hachiko, the loyal dog of Japan. After watching the film, Sira Sudhindranath decided to find all the major locations where the movie was filmed.
Note: Sira heard that the train tracks (known as the “Slatersville Secondary”) will be removed in the coming years due to maintenance costs (bridges, grade crossings, signaling, etc). To view location images below, please click location titles.
