Setting models (Manga) 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 the Manga of Detective Conan.

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.

Contents

Volume 1

Main article: Volume 1

Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: 2-5)

The Yayoi District Kogoro and Ran Mouri as well as Conan Edogawa drive to for this case and where the Tani family lives is a real district of Tokyo in the Bunkyō Ward.

Futatsubashi Middle School the kidnapper keeps Akiko Tani at is a play on the real Hitotsubashi Middle School in 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 Shakujii Park Gosho Aoyama once lived close to during his time when he lived in the Nerima Ward and which he often visited in his spare time.[1]

Volume 2

Main article: Volume 2

¥1,000,000,000 Robbery (Manga: 13-16)

Conan Edogawa is on the way back from the Beika Police Department to the Mouri Detective Agency together with Kogoro and Ran Mouri, during which he, with the help of his new glasses gadget, geolocates the tall man "4 kilometers to the northwest... in Shinjuku", which, if you take any point in Shinjuku, would encompass exactly the area tinted and framed in blue on the following map for Conan (and the part of Beika seen here) to potentially be in - consisting of a good chunk of the upper half of Minato, the lower half of Chiyoda and a remote southeast corner of the Shinjuku Ward itself.

  • Conan is running from Beika to Shinjuku in file 14.

  • Everything 4 kilometers to the southeast of Shinjuku (blue).

Volume 4

Main article: Volume 4

Code Sheet Case (Manga: 36-39)

The Detective Boys take a bus on the real To06 line (都06) of 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 Shibuya Station through the Minato Ward, passed the Tower and has its final destination at 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.

  • A real bus of the To06 line.

  • A To06 bus in Detective Conan.

  • To06 route through Tokyo.

"Tohto Tower" in that same case of course is Tokyo Tower in anything but name.[2] 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 Volumes 36 and 93.

  • The real Tokyo Tower from below.

  • The Tohto Tower from below in file 36.

The "PAPCO" building the Detective Boys reach during their treasure hunt in file 38 is modeled after the PARCO Store, part of the east side of Ikebukuro Station (Ikebukuro, Toshima Ward, Tokyo) in real life.

  • The real PARCO Store.

  • The "PAPCO Store" in file 38.

Volume 6

Main article: Volume 6

Tenkaichi Festival Case (Manga: 59-61)

The "Tenkaichi Festival" in Saitama which Conan Edogawa, Ran and Kogoro Mouri go to is based on the Gozan no Okuribi, also known as "Daimonji", in Kyoto, which is also mentioned by Conan during the case.

  • The Daimonji Festival fires in real life.

  • The Tenkaichi Festival fires in FILE.59.

Volume 7

Main article: Volume 7

Pro Soccer Player Case (Manga: 69-71)

Hideo Akagi and his team are playing their soccer match in the Tokyo National Stadium (Kasumigaoka Town(jp), 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.

  • The real Tokyo National Stadium before renovations.

  • Tokyo National Stadium in file 71.

Volume 9

Main article: Volume 9

Follow the Voice!! (Manga: 82)

The "Yotsubishi Gas" station is a play on the (once) real 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 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.

Volume 11

Main article: Volume 11

TV Station Murder Case (Manga: 102-104)

The headquarters of Nichiuri TV are based on the previous main headquarters of Nippon TV in Niban Town(jp) of Chiyoda Ward.

  • The old Nippon TV headquarters.

  • The Nichuri TV headquarters in file 102.

Volume 12

Main article: Volume 12

Moon, Star, and Sun Case (Manga: 111-113)

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

  • Ohana Estate Mansion in Fukuoka.

  • Kurisuke Agasa's mansion in file 111.

Volume 16

Main article: Volume 16

Kaitou Kid and the Black Star (Manga: 156-157)

The surroundings seen from the roof Conan Edogawa and Kaitou Kid have their first meeting on, including Tokyo Tower and the Shiroyama Trust Tower(jp) to the left and, hence, the position of Haido City Hotel, are identical with those of the ANA Intercontinental Tokyo Hotel in the Akasaka District of Minato Ward. Apart from that, Gosho Aoyama used a different, so far unidentified model for the hotel itself.

  • View from ANA Intercontinental Tokyo Hotel to Shiroyama Trust and Tokyo Tower.

  • View from Haido City Hotel to Shiroyama Trust and Tokyo Tower.

  • Map with marker for ANA Intercontinental Tokyo/Haido City Hotel.

Volume 16

Main article: Volume 16

Sato's Father Case (Manga: 267-269)

A serial arsonist sets fire to several places in Tokyo, the last of which so far is in Yotsuya, a district in Shinjuku Ward, where Ayumi Yoshida saw the arsonist after he started the fire. Shortly after being interrogated by inspector Miwako Sato at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department about the person in question, she wants to drive to Yotsuya together with the Detective Boys, saying that she wants to take a stop anyway, since it's "the same way" - which is revealed to be the fourth block of Haido, where her father happened to die 18 years ago, firmly placing this block of the fictitious district somewhere between the real districts of Kasumigaseki (Chiyoda Ward) and the aforementioned Yotsuya - in an area on the southwest border of Chiyoda it shares with the Minato Ward.

  • Approximation of where the 4th Block of Haido would roughly be according to file 267.

During this call, Juzo Megure tells them that he and some other policemen from the Shinagawa Police Department are chasing a suspect who escaped during an interrogation in the "sixth block" of Shinagawa (probably referring to the "district" of Shinagawa, which is an alternate name for Takanawa and Kōnan(jp), distinct from the homonymous ward), who should be "close" to them. Wataru Takagi and Ninzaburo Shiratori start driving and are able to catch the criminal at the Takanawa Exit of Shinagawa Station, which, despite its name and like the "Shinagawa District", is in the south of Minato. The Nanagamari Pub is said to be in front of the train station.

The Keihin-Tōhoku Line and the adjacent stations of Tamachi (back then) and Ōimachi are also namechecked.

  • The Takanawa Exit of Shinagawa Station in real life.

  • The Takanawa Exit of Shinagawa Station in file 268.

The places the serial arsonist set fire to are all real locations of Tokyo: The Ikebukuro District in Toshima, the Asakusabashi District in Taitō, Tabata in Kita, the Shimokitazawa District in Setagaya Ward and the aforementioned Yotsuya in Shinjuku. This also fits Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's thoughts and the relations on Ai Haibara's map with markers of the scenes of the fires shown in-story, corresponding with real life maps.

  • The places of the fires in Mitsuhiko's mind, corresponding with real life maps.

Volume 35

Main article: Volume 35

Disappearing Mitsuhiko 1 (Manga: 358+)

This is probably the one most people on here already know: Beika Station, appearing from file 358 onwards is based on Shin-Ōkubo Station, just like in the movies, in real life built in Hyakunin Town of Shinjuku Ward. Contrary to the movies, though, it isn't on vaguely the same position as the real train station, but closer to the Ebisu and Gotanda Districts on the border between the wards Shibuya, Minato and Shinagawa in the manga.

  • Main entrance of Shin-Ōkubo Station.

  • Main entrance of Beika Station.

Volume 44

Main article: Volume 44

Kaitou Kid and the Ocean's Miracle (Manga: 453+)

Jirokichi Suzuki's residence is based on a combination of two buildings from Yamagata University, taking the bulk of the main building, including the porch, and basing the central part of it on the middle of the Kyoiku Shiryokan.

  • Yamagata University main building.

  • Yamagata University Kyoiku Shiryokan.

  • Jirokichi Suzuki's residence.

Jirokichi Suzuki's "Great Suzuki Museum" is modeled after the former Hokkaidō Government Building in Sapporo. In Detective Conan, it's located in "Shiotome", in front of the "Shiotome Park" of Tokyo, which probably is a play on Shiodome in the Minato Ward of the city.

  • Roof of the former Hokkaido Government Office.

  • Roof of the Great Suzuki Museum.

Volume 69

Main article: Volume 69

Onsen Murder Case (Manga: 722-724)

The Hakone Onsen in Kanagawa Prefecture seen during this case is based on the Hawai Onsen in Yurihama Town of Gosho Aoyama's home prefecture Tottori. This was also confirmed by the Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory.[3]

  • Hawai Inn

  • Hakobune Inn

  • Hawai Inn main entrance

  • Hakobune Inn main entrance

  • Hawai Onsen

  • Hakone Onsen

Volume 78

Mystery Train ("All Aboard!") (Manga: 818)

The skyscraper hotel Vermouth stays at is the Tokyo Dome Hotel in the Koraku District(jp) of the Bunkyō Ward of Tokyo.

  • Tokyo Dome Hotel in real life.

  • Tokyo Dome Hotel in File 818.

Shortly after that, the protagonists meet up at the Marunouichi Building of Tokyo Station (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo), which is also named as such. Interestingly, it's the pre-renovation version of the train station (2007 and earlier), which is probably the case because it was still getting rebuilt at the time the chapter was made/released (May 2012, with renovations ending in October of 2012), so that Gosho Aoyama and his assistants just had the option to base it on reference photos of the older building.

  • Tokyo Station's Marunouichi Building in 2005, pre-renovation.

  • Tokyo Station's Marunouichi Building in File 818.

Volume 79

Main article: Volume 79

Vampire's Mansion (Manga: 834-840)

The house of the Torakura family is modeled after a house in 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 was also designed like it. While the Torakura mansion is said to be on the border of Saitama and Gunma Prefectures, the real building and its surrounding park are actually situated in the Nishigahara District of the 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.

  • The real mansion in Kyu-Furukawa Gardens.

  • The Torakura mansion in file 834.

Volume 83

Main article: Volume 83

Romance Novelist Murder Case (Manga: 876-878)

Masumi Sera invites her friends Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and Conan Edogawa to the new 50-floor-hotel she's currently living in after school. Ran's view from the window straight to the distinctive skyscrapers of the Shibuya Ward, as well as Yoyogi Park and Nishi-Shinjuku behind those in the background by distance, perspective, as well as height and nature of the building as a luxurious skyscraper hotel/apartment complex suggests it to be on the spot where Daikanyama Address Tower is standing in real life (Daikanyama Town, Shibuya Ward), the only skyscraper of this kind in the vicinity from which such a panorama could be seen.

The taller buildings (from the left) are Shibuya Mark City (the rectangular one), the skyscraper right next to it, to the left of Ran's head, is the Cerulean Tower, the building with the skewed roof below to the right of it, still to the left of Ran, is the Special School Shibuya, to the right of Ran's chin Shinjuku National Garden is visible (together with the Nishi-Shinjuku skyscraper district, one can even make out the three-stage Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No. 2, if looking very closely) and between Ran and her speech bubble the tower at Shibuya Station can be seen.

  • The north of Shibuya seen from Daikanyama Address Tower in google maps.

  • The north of Shibuya seen by Ran from Masumi's hotel room in file 876.

Drug Trading Case (Manga: 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 Ebisu District of 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 real Ebisu Bridge in Tokyo.

  • The Ebisu Bridge in file 879.

Aquarium Murder Case (Manga: 882-884)

Beika Aquarium is modeled after the Toba Aquarium in the City of Toba in Mie Prefecture.

  • Toba Aquarium in Mie Prefecture.

  • Beika Aquarium in file 882.

Volume 84

Main article: Volume 84

Kite-Flying Competition Murder Case (Manga: 885-887)

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 Horikiri District(jp) in the Katsushika Ward of Tokyo, with the Arakawa doubling as Teimuzu River in Detective Conan. The aforementioned park indeed is a popular spot for kite flying competitions in real life.

  • Horikirimizube Park in reality.

  • The park based on it in file 885.

The bridge sporting these distinct Y-shaped concrete pylons seen several times next to the park in the same case, on the other hand, is the Shin-Arakawa Bridge spanning the Arakawa at Horikirimizube.

  • Shin-Arakawa Bridge in reality.

  • Shin-Arakawa Bridge in Detective Conan.

The Sealed Move (Manga: 899)

The Tokiwa Hotel Shuukichi Haneda stays at at the beginning of the case is a real hotel and it really is situated in the Yamanashi Prefecture (in its capital Kōfu, to be exact), like it's said in the chapter.

  • Tokiwa Hotel in file 899.

Shogi Tournament/Poolside Case (Manga: 899-905)

Hotel Haido Pride, in which Masumi and Mary Sera stay during file 899-905, is modeled after the Hotel Nikko Fukuoka in the namesake city, in real life located in the prefecture of the same name.

  • Hotel Nikko Fukuoka

  • Hotel Haido Pride

The Forbidden Move (Manga: 901)

The shōgi building from the flashback is the real Shōgi Hall of Tokyo, located at building 39 in the second block of the Sendagaya District, Shibuya Ward.

  • The Shōgi Kaikan in real life.

  • The Shōgi Kaikan in file 901.

Volume 86

Main article: Volume 86

Kamaitachi Murder Case (Manga: 909-912)

The Kamaitachi Inn is modeled after the Echigoya Ryokan(jp) in Narai (Shiojiri City), in the midst of the mountains of 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.

  • The Echigoya Inn

  • The Kamaitachi Inn

Volume 88

Main article: Volume 88

Girls Band Murder Case (Manga: 936-938)

Sound Studio HAKOBUNE is based on Sound Studio NOAH Shinjuku in building 10 of the second block of the Nishi-Shinjuku District, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo. There are several Sound Studio NOAH branches in Tokyo, including another one in Shibuya Ward, but the Shinjuku one is the correct model.

  • Sound Studio NOAH

  • Sound Studio HAKOBUNE

Volume 89

Main article: Volume 89

The Spiteful Old Man (Manga: 945)

The "Studio AITA" Yumi Miyamoto and Miwako Sato pass at the beginning of the case is actually Studio ALTA in the south of Shinjuku Ward, located in the district(jp) of the same name.

Kaitou Kid and the Luna Memoria Case (Manga: 963-965)

The Suzuki Library which Kaitou Kid tries to get into is actually the library building of the Kagoshima University in Kagoshima on Japan's Kyushu Island.

  • Kagoshima University Library

  • Suzuki Library

Edo Style Deduction Show (Manga: 977)

The Police Station 5th Block Beika after the end of the case is actually the Police Station 5th Block Sendagaya, a real Kōban in the Shibuya Ward of Tokyo.

  • Police Station 5th Block Sendagaya

  • Police Station 5th Block Beika

Main article: Volume 93

Eri Kisaki Abduction Case (Manga: 984-986)

The closeness of Beika to the Tokyo Tower is specified by establishing the existence of a church in the neighbourhood of Mouri Detective Agency, the bells of which could still be heard by Eri Kisaki in her hiding spot 1 kilometer (~0.6 miles) away. Conan Edogawa, Kogoro and Ran Mouri go to the Zōjō-ji, a temple right next to the Tower, at which Conan shoots his soccer ball against the bell of Shōrōdo (the small pavilion in front of the temple), the sound of which Eri can still hear in the distance of 340 meters (~0.2 miles). Based on the intersection points of two imaginary circles around church and Shōrōdo with respective radii of 1 kilometer and 340 meters, the trio can narrow down the place Eri is kept at to two (fictional) districts, Sutan and Buroku.

  • Conan thinks about the relations between Tokyo Tower, Mouri Detective Agency and the neighbouring church.

The gain of knowledge from this is that the church and, by extension, Mouri Detective Agency have to be inside a well-spaced radius of 1.34 kilometers (~0.83 miles) around the Shōrōdo. This would, in real life, partly encompass the districts of Mita, the Shiba area, Kaigan, Atago, the Shinbashi area, Toranomon, Akasaka, Roppongi and the area of Azabu, which are all in the Minato Ward. If one also takes the schematic depiction of the relations of Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, Zōjō-ji, church and detective agency from the minds of the characters exactly, church and detective agency (and as such, parts of Beika) would be vaguely locatable to the west, the south or the southwest.

The cinema Kogoro and Eri go to at the end of the case is modeled after the Cinemas Q in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, actually on the island of Kyushu. Judging by the Suzuki Library, it seems like Gosho Aoyama or someone he knows did research there not all too long before those chapters.

  • The Cinemas Q in Naha.

  • The cinema in file 986.

Kendo Tournament Murder Case (Manga: 990-993)

The kendō tournament Heiji Hattori, Soshi Okita and Takeshi Onimaru partake in during this case is organized in Tohto Gymnasium, which is based on the real Nakano Gymnasium, located at building 11 in the fourth block 4 of the Nakano District(jp) in the ward of the same name in Tokyo.

  • Nakano Gymnasium

  • Tohto Gymnasium

Haibara's Lost Phone Strap Case (Manga: 997-999)

Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and the Detective Boys are taking a ride with a train of the JR East E233-3000 series on the real Shōnan-Shinjuku Line in file 997, passing an existing segment of the route located between the Ebisu (Shibuya Ward) and Gotanda District (Shinagawa Ward) along their respective border with Minato, before the train enters Beika Station. One can spot, from left to right, the NTT COMWARE Gotanda Building (ＮＴＴコムウェア五反田ビル), Mast Life Meguro South (マストライフ目黒南) and the Meguro Gajoen Arco Tower to the left of the tracks.

  • A train riding through the Gotanda District.

  • The train before reaching Beika Station.

The lost-and-found office in Chiyari Station (which seems to be fictitious itself) at the end of the same chapter is based on the real lost-and-found office of Tokyo Metro (with an altered emblem in Detective Conan) at Iidabashi Station, which is situated right on the juncture of the Chiyoda, Bunkyō and Shinjuku Wards in Tokyo.

  • Lost-and-found office Iidabashi Station

  • Lost-and-found office Chiyari Station

The "Danny's" Rei Furuya, Conan and the Detective Boys are stopping by to eat and discuss their hunt for the phone strap at the beginning of file 998 is a real Denny's restaurant - the one in building 6 at the first block in Yokohama's Kitayamada District in the Tsuzuki Ward (Kanagawa Prefecture), to be specific. Considering Rei must have passed Yokohama to reach Chiyari Station, it's a fitting location to stop.

  • The Denny's Kitayamada.

  • The Danny's in file 998.

Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: 1000-1005)

The Kiyomizu-dera appearing in Files 1000, 1004 and 1005 is supposed to be the real deal in the Higashiyama Ward of Kyoto.

  • The Kiyomizu-dera in real life.

Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: 1027-1031)

The train Conan Edogawa, Kogoro Mouri, Rei Furuya, and Kanenori Wakita ride at the beginning of the case is a limited express Azusa train that plies between Shinjuku Station in Tokyo to Matsumoto Station in Nagano (like it's told in the case), with the model number changed from "35" to "36" for some reason.

In the background of the panel you can spot the Yatsugatake Mountains, while the train passes a real segment of the line in Yamanashi Prefecture between Nagasaka and Kobuchizawa Stations, which is a popular place to take photos of these trains (like the one on the left).

Lover Code Case (Manga: 1039-1042)

Haido Port is practically identical to the real life Hinode Pier at the border between Minato (which it belongs to) and Chiyoda Wards, in turn also implying the Haido district to be around the border of these wards again. 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 "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 to the north, just like it passed Haido Port in Detective Conan. The "identity" of the other ship is still unknown, though.

  • Hinode Pier
