Beika Town
Beika Town (米花町 Beika-chō) is where Conan and a majority of the other main characters live. Like Beika City, it is named after Baker Street.

The Mouri Detective Agency (毛利探偵事務所 Mōri Tantei Jimusho) is 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. It is located in Beika Town District 5 (米花町５丁目 Beika-chō 5-chōme) [2]. According to The Meguro Sanma Case it is located on block 39 (39番地 39-banchi), but this information is non-canon.
The Mouri Detective Agency takes up the upper two floors of a three story building. The second floor is the detective agency proper, and is where Kogoro meets potential clients and stores his files. The windows are lettered with "Mouri Detective Agency". The third floor is the Mouri family living space. Part of the floor space is a living room with a kotatsu and television.

However, he killed them one by one to pressure the others to find the treasure. One of them was the archeologist Kyosuke Senma, who send her wife and daughter Furuyo a secret message about his dangerous job. Two years ago, Shukuzen Ogami brought the manor to search for the treasure himself, but when he didn't find any, he and Senma planned to recreated the tragedy and invite detectives to search for them. However, Senma killed Ogami and was arrested. Conan, who was among the invited, solves Karasuma's riddle and discovers that the manor's wall is plated with gold. Sunset being when the sky shines gold as the sun goes down, it is literally a "Golden Manor". It's unknown who owns the house now, however, since Ogami had debts upon his death, it's probably that the manor first got sold to settle the debts and, if there is surely any money left from the sale, it would go to his heirs, if he had any. Because Karasuma is a crow-like man, it was his personified nest.

Historical sites
Landmarks
Tokyo Tower/Tohto Tower
Tokyo Tower (東京タワー Tōkyō Tawā) is 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.[14] In the manga and anime series the tower is referred to as Tohto[15] Tower (東都タワー Tōto Tawā). "Tohto" is a shorter way of saying Tokyo Metropolis (東京都 Tōkyō-to). The tower was featured in the 13th movie, The Raven Chaser during the climax of the film.
Tsutenkaku Tower
The Tsutenkaku Tower (通天閣 Tsūtenkaku) is 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 Tokyo 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.[16] 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.
Tokyo Sky Tree/Bell Tree Tower
The Tokyo Sky Tree (東京スカイツリー Tōkyō Sukai Tsurī) is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower located in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan construction was complete on February 29, 2012, while it opened to the public on May 22, 2012. The Sky Tree was built mostly to give better digital terrestrial television coverage since the Tokyo Tower has long been overshadowed by taller high-rise buildings and is unable to provide the necessary coverage.[17] The in series name for the Tokyo Sky Tree is Bell Tree Tower (ベルツリータワー Beru Tsurī Tawā). Judging from the use of the name "Bell Tree", it seems it was built/is owned in series by the Suzuki Zaibatsu. The Sky Tree replaced the Tokyo Tower as the scene of the climax for Akako's face-off against Kaitou Kid in A Witch Sheds No Tears. The tower has been featured recently in Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie, The Coded Invitation, and Dimensional Sniper.
