[[File:Tokyo_Wards_Map.jpg|thumb]]
 
Like a lot of artists, [[Gosho Aoyama]] bases his [[Setting|settings]] - sometimes more, sometimes less - on real world models and even the locations his series play in can be vaguely pinpointed. I think stuff like this is highly interesting and I just hope that some of you do, too. I researched and wrote this for a message board originally, but it went offline a couple of years ago and didn't return - and now that the domain seems to be for sale, I don't expect it to ever come back. So I put this stuff in 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 (yes, the position of the same building or place in a franchise differs from medium to medium sometimes) and per section, I will first show comparions between the real world model and Gosho's interpretation and afterwards I will present a rough estimation of where his stories are set (based on hints to their relative location in-universe - and yes, this also isn't always the same place as where the model it was based on happens to be in real life).
 
 
I'm talking about the different (real) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wards_of_Japan wards (-ku)] of [[Tokyo]] and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_towns_in_Japan towns (-chō)] they are composed of respectively a lot, which can get quite complicated and confusing if you are not knowledgable about the geography and how Tokyo is administrated. To the right you can see a very good map from [http://tokyomap.com/index.php TokyoMap.com], giving you a quick and simple rundown of the structure of its wards.

|'''[[Tropical Land]]''' in it's ''Detective Conan'' Manga incarnation from '''FILE.1''' onwards ([[Volume 1]]+, [[Volume_1#File_001_-_The_Heisei_Holmes|File 1]]+): seems to be a composite of several different theme parks in and around Tokyo, including some of their attractions, with the most striking ones being [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Disneyland Tokyo Disneyland] (where Gosho Aoyama was working at as a painter during the eighties) and the distinct castle at the center, as well as [https://www.summerland.co.jp/english/ Summer Land].

|'''Futatsubashi Middle School''' the kidnapper keeps [[Akiko Tani]] at is very probably a play on the Hitotsubashi Middle School in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiyoda,_Tokyo Chiyoda Ward]. Furthermore, the '''Hyakujii Park''' the kidnapper wants his ransom money placed in is based on the name of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakujii_Park Shakujii Park] Gosho once lived close to during his time in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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>
 
'''Note:''' There's just one mistake in the translation, the park in question being [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakujii_Park 石神井公園 = Shakujii Kōen] (Shakujii Park), not Ishigamii Park.</ref>

|In '''FILE.37''' ([[Volume 4]], [[Volume_4#File_037_-_The_ABC.27s_of_Deciphering|File 8]]), the [[Detective Boys]] take a bus on the (back then) real To06 line (都06) of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 lead from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibuya_Station Shibuya Station] through [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minato,_Tokyo Minato Ward], passed the Tower and had its final destination at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. (See below under "Where is it set?".) The complete route can be seen as a green line on the map.

The real stadium has been restructured since then and looks vastly different than at the time it was featured in ''Detective Conan''.

| The "'''Yotsubishi Gas'''" station in '''FILE.82''' ([[Volume 9]], [[Volume_9#Trapped_Ayumi_Case|File 2]]) is a play on the (once) real "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi Mitsubishi] Gas" stations, including a fitting four-petaled logo (instead of the usual three-petaled one); but considering that there are, like, 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JXTG_Nippon_Oil_%26_Energy Nippon Oil] by now) and that this was over two decades ago, I'll already guess that it will be extremely difficult or impossible to ever find this exact one...

Contrary to the [[movies]], though, it isn't on vaguely the same position as the real train station, but closer to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebisu,_Shibuya Ebisu] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotanda Gotanda Districts] on the border between the wards [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibuya Shibuya], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minato,_Tokyo Minato] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinagawa Shinagawa] - more about that later.

While the Torakura mansion is said to be on the border of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saitama_Prefecture Saitama] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunma_Prefecture Gunma Prefectures], the real building and its surrounding park are actually situated in the [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%A5%BF%E3%83%B6%E5%8E%9F Nishigahara District] of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kita,_Tokyo Kita Ward] in Tokyo.

| The '''Ebisu Bridge''' [[Conan_Edogawa|Conan]] goes to ("secretly" being followed by [[Ai_Haibara|Ai]] and the [[Detective Boys]]) in '''FILE.879''' ([[Volume 83]], File 7) is a real bridge in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebisu,_Shibuya Ebisu District] of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 [[Hiroshi_Agasa|Agasa's]] house and went to the bridge by foot. The name of the bridge(s) also plays a bigger role during this case.

| "'''[[Haido Port]]'''" in '''FILE.1039 - 1042''' is practically identical to the real life Hinode Pier at the border between [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minato,_Tokyo Minato Ward] (which it belongs to) and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiyoda,_Tokyo Chiyoda Ward] - the next hint that [[Haido]] really seems to coincide with a fictional area on/between those two parts of Tokyo in Gosho's mind (and in the [[Manga]]verse at least). The warehouses on the right (and the one the case happens in) are the Hinode Pier Warehouses (2 Chome-7 Kaigan, Minato Ward, Tokyo 105-0022) - 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 [[Yokohama]] - just like it passed Haido Port in ''Detective Conan''. I haven't found out the "identity" of the other ship, though.

| The '''Metropolitan Police Academy Tokyo''' from [[Rei_Furuya|Rei's]] Manga spin-off is just that: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Police_Academy_%28Tokyo%29 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 it's Metropolitan Area - in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuch%C5%AB,_Tokyo City of Fuchū]. This is also mentioned in the Wikipedia article.
