This is a list of real life buildings, places and other surroundings [[Gosho Aoyama]] used as reference models for the [[Setting|settings]] appearing in his works. Please see this list here as an active work in progress. What you'll do with this information in the end is up to you - maybe you can use this knowledge for a fan fiction or go on one of those [[manga]]/[[anime]] pilgrimages when you are in [[Japan]]. Every series will be partitioned by medium (since the position of the same building or place in a franchise differs from medium to medium sometimes).

==== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1#Company President's Daughter Case|2-5]]) ====
 
The Yayoi District [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Ran Mouri]] as well as [[Conan Edogawa]] drive to for this case and where the [[Tani family]] lives is a [[Wikipedia:Yayoi, Tokyo|real district]] of [[Tokyo]] in the [[Wikipedia:Bunkyō|Bunkyō Ward]].

[[Futatsubashi Middle School]] the kidnapper keeps [[Akiko Tani]] at is a play on the real Hitotsubashi Middle School in [[Wikipedia:Chiyoda, Tokyo|Chiyoda Ward]] ("hitotsu" = "one", "futatsu" = "two"). Furthermore, the Hyakujii Park the kidnapper wants his ransom money placed in is based on the name of the [[Wikipedia:Shakujii Park|Shakujii Park]] [[Gosho Aoyama]] once lived close to during his time when he lived in the [[Wikipedia:Nerima|Nerima Ward]] and which he often visited in his spare time.<ref>[[Questions given by the Shonen Sunday magazine#1994]], 1994 #16, FILE.12<br>公園や遊園地など、お勧めの遊び場は、「前に住んでいたマンションの近所の石神井公園。」<br>Playgrounds, such as public parks and amusement parks, that you recommend is "The Ishigamii park, which was near the apartment I used to live in."<br>translated by justwantanaccount<br>

==== Code Sheet Case (Manga: [[Volume 4#Code Sheet Case|36-39]]) ====
 
The [[Detective Boys]] take a bus on the real To06 line (都06) of [[Wikipedia:Toei Bus|Toei Bus]] to get from [[Beika]] (or, rather, a bus stop close to [[Beika Park]], it seems) to [[Tokyo Tower]]. The line indeed leads from [[Wikipedia:Shibuya Station|Shibuya Station]] through the [[Wikipedia:Minato, Tokyo|Minato Ward]], passed the Tower and has its final destination at [[Wikipedia:Shimbashi Station|Shimbashi Station]]. As this, it's one of the most direct hints about where Beika may be set in the world of the manga. The complete route can be seen as a green line on the map.

"Tohto Tower" in that same case of course is Tokyo Tower in anything but name.<ref>[[Interviews#Love Conan Interview]]<br>
 
'''Like… You draw that street, you draw another street… And those two are connected?-feeling?'''<br>
 
They don’t. Tohto tower is Tokyo tower. It’s like a mix of fiction and reality.<br>
 
Translation by: Yunniechan</ref> It goes on to become a recurring location, implied to be very close to [[Beika]] and [[Haido]], maybe even part of it in the world of ''[[Detective Conan]]''. It also features as the background photo on the front cover of [[Volume 36|Volumes 36]] and [[Volume 93|93]].

The mansion is modeled after the [[Wikipedia: Luxembourg Palace|Palais du Luxembourg]], in real life to be found at [[Wikipedia: Rue de Vaugirard|Rue de Vaugirard 15]] in the [[Wikipedia: 6th arrondissement of Paris|6th arrondissement]] of [[Wikipedia:Paris|Paris]]. It also served as the model for the [[Ohshima Art Museum]] in [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Akako's Delivery Service|chapter 17]] of ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' and the [[Kurogane residence]] in ''[[Yaiba]]''.

==== Pro Soccer Player Case (Manga: [[Volume 7#Pro Soccer Player Case|69-71]]) ====
 
[[Hideo Akagi]] and his team are playing their soccer match in the [[Wikipedia:National Stadium (Tokyo, 1958)|Tokyo National Stadium]] ([https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/霞ヶ丘町 Kasumigaoka Town]<sub>(jp)</sub>, [[Wikipedia:Shinjuku|Shinjuku Ward]]), also known as Kokuritsu Kyōgijō, as it is called in the chapters, too. The real stadium has been restructured since then and looks vastly different than at the time it was featured in ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

==== Follow the Voice!! (Manga: [[Volume 9#File 082 - Follow the Voice!!|82]]) ====
 
The "'''Yotsubishi Gas'''" station is a play on the (once) real [[Wikipedia:Mitsubishi|Mitsubishi]] Gas stations, including a fitting four-petaled logo (instead of the usual three-petaled one) - but considering that there are roughly thousands of gas stations in and around [[Tokyo]] who all look similar or identical, and the fact that none of them have that same name anymore (most of it seems to be [[Wikipedia:JXTG_Nippon_Oil_&_Energy|Nippon Oil]] by now) and that this was over two decades ago, it's safe to assume that it will be extremely difficult or impossible to ever find the specific model for this exact one.
 
 
 
==== TV Station Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 11#TV Station Murder Case|102-104]]) ====
 
The headquarters of [[Nichiuri TV]] are based on the previous main headquarters of [[Wikipedia:Nippon TV|Nippon TV]] in [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/二番町_(千代田区) Niban Town]]<sub>(jp)</sub> of [[Wikipedia:Chiyoda, Tokyo|Chiyoda Ward]].

[[Kurisuke Agasa]]'s old mansion is modeled after the "Ohana Estate" mansion in [[Wikipedia:Yanagawa, Fukuoka|Yanagawa City]], located in the [[Wikipedia:Fukuoka Prefecture|Fukuoka Prefecture]].

==== Kaitou Kid and the Black Star (Manga: [[Volume 16#Kaitou Kid and the Black Star|156-157]]) ====
 
The surroundings seen from the roof [[Conan Edogawa]] and [[Kaitou Kid]] have their first meeting on, including [[Tokyo Tower]] and the [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/城山ガーデン Shiroyama Trust Tower]<sub>(jp)</sub> to the left and, hence, the position of [[Haido City Hotel]], are identical with those of the [https://anaintercontinental-tokyo.jp/en/ ANA Intercontinental Tokyo Hotel] in the [[Wikipedia:Akasaka, Tokyo|Akasaka District]] of [[Wikipedia:Minato, Tokyo|Minato Ward]]. Apart from that, [[Gosho Aoyama]] used a different, so far unidentified model for the hotel itself.

==== Disappearing Mitsuhiko 1 (Manga: [[Volume 35#File 358 - Disappearing Mitsuhiko 1|358]]+) ====
 
This is probably the one most people on here already know: [[Beika Station]], appearing from FILE.358 onwards is based on [[Wikipedia:Shin-Ōkubo Station|Shin-Ōkubo Station]], just like in the [[movies]], in real life built in [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/百人町 Hyakunin Town] of [[Wikipedia:Shinjuku|Shinjuku Ward]]. Contrary to the movies, though, it isn't on vaguely the same position as the real train station, but closer to the [[Wikipedia:Ebisu, Shibuya|Ebisu]] and [[Wikipedia:Gotanda|Gotanda Districts]] on the border between the wards [[Wikipedia:Shibuya|Shibuya]], [[Wikipedia:Minato, Tokyo|Minato]] and [[Wikipedia:Shinagawa|Shinagawa]] in the [[manga]].

==== Vampire's Mansion (Manga: [[Volume 79#Vampire's Mansion|834]]-[[Volume 80#Vampire's Mansion|840]]) ====
 
The [[Torakura residence|house]] of the [[Torakura family]] is modeled after a house in [[Wikipedia:Kyu-Furukawa Gardens|Kyu-Furukawa Gardens]] - only one of several allusions to ''[Wikipedia:Umineko When They Cry|Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' in this case (besides ''Dracula'', of course), since the entrance of the guest house of that franchise [https://umineko.fandom.com/wiki/Rokkenjima was also designed like it]. While the Torakura mansion is said to be on the border of [[Wikipedia:Saitama Prefecture|Saitama]] and [[Wikipedia:Gunma Prefecture|Gunma Prefectures]], the real building and its surrounding park are actually situated in the [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/西ケ原 Nishigahara District] of the [[Wikipedia:Kita, Tokyo|Kita Ward]] in [[Tokyo]]. Fittingly, it's also said to be a popular filming location for horror movies.
 
 
 
It also serves as the background photo of [[Volume 79]]'s front cover.

==== Drug Trading Case (Manga: [[Volume 83#Drug Trading Case|879-881]]) ====
 
The Ebisu Bridge [[Conan Edogawa]] goes to ("secretly" being followed by [[Ai Haibara]] and the [[Detective Boys]]) is a real bridge in the eponymous [[Wikipedia:Ebisu, Shibuya|Ebisu District]] of [[Wikipedia:Shibuya|Shibuya Ward]] in [[Tokyo]]. Interestingly, it's implied to be in or near [[Beika]] in Conan's world, considering they were on the way to Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa]]'s house and went to the bridge by foot. The name of the bridges also play a bigger role during this case.

The place Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa]], [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]] and the [[Detective Boys]] drive to is the Horikirimizube Park at the first block of the [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/堀切_(葛飾区) Horikiri District]<sub>(jp)</sub> in the [[Wikipedia:Katsushika|Katsushika Ward]] of [[Tokyo]], with the [[Wikipedia:Arakawa River (Kantō)|Arakawa]] doubling as [[Teimuzu]] River in ''[[Detective Conan]]''. The aforementioned park indeed is a popular spot for kite flying competitions in real life.

The [https://tokiwa-hotel.co.jp/e_index.html Tokiwa Hotel] [[Shuukichi Haneda]] stays at at the beginning of the case is a real hotel and it really is situated in the [[Wikipedia:Yamanashi Prefecture|Yamanashi Prefecture]] (in its capital [[Wikipedia:Kōfu|Kōfu]], to be exact), like it's said in the chapter.

The [[Kamaitachi Inn]] is modeled after the [http://www.naraijyuku-echigoya.jp/ Echigoya Ryokan]<sub>(jp)</sub> in [http://www.go-nagano.net/shisetsu-detail?shisetsuid=15003001 Narai] ([[Wikipedia:Shiojiri, Nagano|Shiojiri City]]), in the midst of the mountains of [[Wikipedia:Nagano Prefecture|Nagano Prefecture]], at an old route between [[Tokyo]] (Edo back then) and [[Kyoto]] - so the description about the Kamaitachi Inn being "in the mountains of Nagano" in the manga is certainly true for its reference building.

There are several Sound Studio NOAH branches in Tokyo, including another one in [[Wikipedia:Shibuya|Shibuya Ward]], but the Shinjuku one is the correct model.

Considering Rei must have passed Yokohama to reach Chiyari Station, it's a fitting location to stop.

[[Haido Port]] is practically identical to the real life Hinode Pier at the border between [[Wikipedia:Minato, Tokyo|Minato]] (which it belongs to) and [[Wikipedia:Chiyoda, Tokyo|Chiyoda Wards]]. The warehouses on the right (and the one the case happens in) are the Hinode Pier Warehouses (Second block, Kaigan District, Minato Ward, [[Tokyo]]) - in real life, the ones on the panel/photo are numbered 2-A, 2-B, 2-C, etc., in ''[[Detective Conan]]'', they are simply given numbers. Judging by their manga and real life succession, No. 4 (where the murder happens in) should correlate with warehouse 2-D.
 
 
 
Furthermore, the ship in front of the other one [[Ran Mouri]], [[Kazuha Toyama]] and [[Momiji Ooka]] photograph themselves in front of in the last chapter of this case is the "[https://www.silversea.com/en/ships/silver-muse.html Silver Muse]" of the Silverseas company, which actually passes (or passed - it seemingly moved to Canada afterwards) the Hinode Pier on its route when it arrives in Tokyo after leaving [[Wikipedia:Yokohama|Yokohama]] to the north - just like it passed Haido Port in ''Detective Conan''. The "identity" of the other ship is still unknown, though.

==== The Revived Phantom Thief (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 1#The Revived Phantom Thief|1]]) ====
 
[[Ekoda High School]], in this incarnation of the story is very probably based on the main building (#3) on the Ekoda Campus of [[Wikipedia:Musashi University|Musashi University]], right next to the Ekoda Campus (fine arts) of [[Wikipedia:Nihon University|Nihon University]], where [[Gosho Aoyama]] and [[Yutaka Abe]] (a past mentor and current assistant of his) studied and lived - also not far away from [[Wikipedia:Ekoda Station|Ekoda Station]], which was close to Gosho's apartment.
 
 
 
Interestingly enough, building #3 was a high school once and what is the Ekoda Campus of Nihon today once housed another high school associated with the university, called [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/日本大学江古田高等学校 Ekoda High School]<sub>(jp)</sub> (also shortened as 江古田高校 (''Ekoda kōkō''), like the school in the manga), which closed in 1976 and is also used as a university building today. All of the mentioned campuses and buildings are located in the adjacent neighbourhoods of [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/旭丘_(練馬区) Asahigaoka]<sub>(jp)</sub> and [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/豊玉上 Toyotamakami]<sub>(jp)</sub> in [[Wikipedia:Nerima|Nerima Ward]]. Ekoda High School was first used by Yutaka Abe in ''[[100% Tantei Monogatari]]'' in 1986 (set in the same universe as ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' and made with the assistance of Gosho).

The crossroads the helicopters pass close to the end of the first chapter to catch [[Kaitou Kid]] is a real crossing in the fourth block of [[Ginza]] ([[Wikipedia:Chūō, Tokyo|Chūō Ward]], [[Tokyo]]), especially identifiable by the [[Wikipedia:Fujiya Co. Fujiya Store]] to the left.
 
 
 
The view would thus be to the southeast, with the helicopters in consequence flying to the northeast to reach [[Ono Bank]] (which probably was a nod to the [[Wikipedia:Tokyo Bank|Tokyo Bank]], which indeed was located in the [[Wikipedia:Nihonbashi|Nihonbashi District]], to the northeast of Ginza, back then (before merging with Mitsubishi Bank and moving to [[Wikipedia:Chiyoda, Tokyo|Chiyoda Ward]]), which is supported by the fact that "Ono" was a generic placeholder word for terms with "Tokyo" and "Japan" in it, used by Gosho in the same vein as "Tohto" nowadays). Interestingly, this intersection is right next to another famous crossroads in Ginza - the one Kid did his midair walk over in ''[[Detective Conan]]'' later on.

In Chapter 2 he meets the depressed inspector [[Ginzo Nakamori]] sitting at the riverbank and cheers him up and in Chapter 19 he briefly passes the same spot again.

The in-story explanation is that the Sandei was directly built after the image of the Nageire (which is denied by the priestess [[Niwano Yasuyo]]).

Setting models is a work in progress. This page is currently being edited. Please consider helping the users to complete the page and fill in the missing pieces if you are able.


This is a list of real life buildings, places and other surroundings Gosho Aoyama used as reference models for the settings appearing in his works. Please see this list here as an active work in progress. What you'll do with this information in the end is up to you, maybe you can use this knowledge for a fan fiction or go on one of those manga/anime pilgrimages when you are in Japan. Every series will be partitioned by medium (since the position of the same building or place in a franchise differs from medium to medium sometimes).

There will be mentions of the different (real) wards (-ku) of Tokyo and the towns (-chō) they are composed of respectively a lot, which can get quite complicated and confusing if you are not knowledgable about the geography of Tokyo and how this city is administrated. Below you can see a very good map from TokyoMap.com, giving you a quick and simple rundown of the structure of its wards.

The Wards of Tokyo.

The mansion is modeled after the Palais du Luxembourg, in real life to be found at Rue de Vaugirard 15 in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. It also served as the model for the Ohshima Art Museum in chapter 17 of Magic Kaito and the Kurogane residence in Yaiba.

Zero the Enforcer

Rei Furuya makes his phone call from a bay at Yokohama City, with the skyline of the harbor visible in the background.

Detective Conan: Wild Police Story

The Metropolitan Police Academy Tokyo from Rei Furuya's manga spin-off is just that: The real Metropolitan Police Academy. It's called by its actual name and also looks the same in the manga, no renaming or anything. It's not actually in the City of Tokyo, but part of its Metropolitan Area, in the City of Fuchū.
