The place where Detective Mouri lives with his daughter, Ran. Conan begins living there when he is shrunk in order to gain more information about the Black Organization.
Cafe Poirot (喫茶店ポアロ)
Cafe where Azusa Enomoto works, located directly beneath the Detective Agency. The cafe gets its name from one of Agatha Christie's most popular characters, Hercule Poirot.
Kudo Residence
House where Yusaku, Yukiko, and Shinichi lived. Current residence of Subaru Okiya after receiving permission from Conan Edogawa. After Yusaku and Yukiko traveled to America, Shinichi stayed in the house by himself while continuing to attend Teitan High School. Notable features of the house include its massive size and a huge library with dozens of shelves filled to capacity with mystery novels from all over the world.
According to the address on the letter from Teiji Moriya in The Time-Bombed Skyscraper, Shinichi's house is located at:
Beika City Beika Town
2-chōme, 21-banchi
The "2-21" number is a direct reference to Sherlock Holmes' residence at 221B Baker Street.

Haido City (杯戸町)

Entertainment places
Tropical Land (トロピカルランド)
Tropical Land (トロピカルランド ,TOROPIKARU RANDO?) is an amusement park which was the site of the last date between Shinichi and Ran, before Shinichi was forced to take APTX 4869 by Gin and Vodka of the Black Organization. The park is built in what is now considered a standard layout: guests enter the park into a central hub which then splits off into other themed areas radiating out from the center. Notable appearances of Tropical Land within Detective Conan include The Roller Coaster Murder Case, The Revival of the Dying Message, and Captured in Her Eyes. This location was first introduced in the Magic Kaito manga.
Haido City Shopping Mall (杯戸町のショッピングモール)
The shopping mall has the largest roller coaster in Japan, over 125m tall, with 72 seats. For the ferris wheel to make one full rotation, it takes over 18 minutes (30cm per second, according to Haibara). The ferris wheel itself is better known as the place where Jinpei Matsuda died trying to defuse a bomb left by a crazed bomber.
Miracle Land
This amusement park is prominently featured in the 10th movie, The Private Eyes' Requiem.
Historical sites
Landmarks
Touto (Tokyo) Tower (東都タワー)
A communications and observation tower located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan built in the 1950s. Inspired in design by the Eiffel Tower, this landmark has become a popular tourist and school field trip destination. In the manga and anime series the tower is referred to by the "Touto Tower" name instead of "Tokyo Tower". ("Touto" is how Tokyo used to be called in the past.) The tower was featured recently in the 13th movie, The Raven Chaser during the climax of the film.[2]
Tsutenkaku Tower (通天閣)
A weather and observation tower located in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan built originally in 1912, dismantled, and then rebuilt in the 1950s. This tower, like Touto Tower, was inspired in design by the Eiffel Tower in addition to the Arc de Triomphe. The 1912 Tsutenkaku Tower was built next to an amusement park but later dismantled in the 1940s in an effort to thwart American bombing raids. The current tower was built on the same site in the 1950s thanks to the efforts of the citizens of Osaka.[3] Notable appearances of this landmark in Detective Conan include The Naniwa Serial Murder Case, Conan and Heiji and the Vanished Boy, and The Last Wizard of the Century.
