Tokyo Prefecture
Tokyo Prefecture (東京府 Tōkyō-fu ) is a Japanese government entity.
City of Tokyo
The City of Tokyo itself is part of the Greater Tokyo Area and consists of 21 special wards. In the works of Gosho Aoyama, there are a couple of fictional wards added to the city and the metropolitan area respectively.
Beika Ward
Beika Ward (米花区 Beika-ku ), alternatively Beika City (米花市 Beika-shi ), is a fictional special ward of Tokyo (in the manga) and a city in the Greater Tokyo Area (in the expanded canon) named after Baker Street, the location of Sherlock Holmes's flat. Beika City is divided into two towns: Beika and Haido.
Beika
Beika Town (米花町 Beika-chō ) is the district where Conan and a majority of the other main characters live. Like the Ward of Beika, it is named after Baker Street.[1]
Haido
Haido Town (杯戸町 Haido-chō ) is a district in Beika Ward adjacent to Beika Town and is named after London's Hyde Park.[1]
Chiyoda Ward
Chiyoda Ward (中央区 Chiyoda-ku ) is a special ward in the city of Tokyo and contains its historic districts.
Kasumigaseki
The district of Kasumigaseki (霞が関 Kasumigaseki ) contains the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters, which repeatedly appears in Detective Conan, Magic Kaito, and Zero's Tea Time. The 4th Block of Haido is said to be between it and Shinjuku's Yotsuya Station.
Marunouichi
Marunouichi (丸の内 Marunouichi ) is a commercial district close to the Imperial Palace. It's the location of Tokyo Station ("Tōto Station" in Detective Conan) and implied to be close to the districts of Beika and Yaoya.
Chūō Ward
Chūō Ward (中央区 Chūō-ku ) is a special ward in central Tokyo, containing the famous district of Ginza which appears several times in Gosho Aoyama's works. It's also implied to be close to Beika.
Ginza
Ginza (銀座 Ginza ) is a business and entertainment district. It's also referred to as Kinza (錦座 Kinza ) and Doza (銅座 Dōza ) in different mediums of Detective Conan.
Nihonbashi
The Ono Bank from the Magic Kaito manga seems to be based on the Tokyo Bank existing in this district back then.
Minato Ward
Minato Ward (港区 Minato-ku ) is an important harbor of Tokyo City. It implicitly seems to be the location for the (fictional) Minato Police Station and the Minato Hotel. It also is the ward where Tokyo Tower stands. Beika seems to be largely identical to it in the manga of Detective Conan. It seemingly also was the model for a lot of settings in the Magic Kaito: Kid the Phantom Thief specials.
Shiba Park
Location of the Tokyo Tower, said to be less than 1.34 kilometres (~0.8 miles) away from Beika.
Takanawa
This district contains the Shinagawa Station (品川駅 Shinagawa-eki ) (Kawashina Station (品川駅 Kawashina-eki ) in the movies), which is implied to be close to Haido.
Nerima Ward
Ekoda (江古田 Ekoda ) and several districts adjacent to it were the basis for Ekoda High School and its surroundings in the Manga of Magic Kaito and 100% Tantei Monogatari.
Shibuya Ward
The Shibuya Ward (渋谷区 Shibuya-ku ) is an important business and entertainment center of Tokyo. The famous Shibuya Crossing, the Tsutaya Store, Shibuya 109 and the fittingly named Shibuya Station are part of it, all of which appeared in different works by Gosho Aoyama.
It also contains the Harajuku Station (原宿駅 Harajuku-eki ) in its eponymous district, which appeared as Karajuku Station (空宿駅 Karajuku-eki ) in the anime and as Sorajuku Station (空宿駅 Sorajuku-eki ) in the movies.
Shinjuku Ward
Shibuya Ward (新宿区 Shibuya-ku ) is the central skyscraper ward of Tokyo, containing some of its most famous building in the district of Nishi-Shinjuku, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Some districts of it were used as models for Beika in the expanded canon (anime, movies, Hanzawa the Criminal). The 4th Block of Haido is said to be between its Yotsuya Station and Chiyoda's Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters.
Hyakunin
Hyakunin Town (百人町 Hyakunin-chō ), especially the Shin-Ōkubo Station and its surroundings found there, were used as models for Beika and its own train station. In the movies, even the position of Beika Station seems to be identical to it, judging by route maps.

Okubo (大久保 Ōkubo ), is a district built around Hyakunin and the Shin-Ōkubo Station. Mentioned as Kokubo (大久保 Kōkubo ) in the expanded canon.
Toshima Ward
The residences of the Kuroba and Nakamori families are located in a so far unnamed district of Toshima Ward (豊島区 Toshima-ku ) in the manga of Magic Kaito.

Beika Women's University
Beika Women's University (米花女大学 Beika On'na daigaku ) is a university in Beika City, Beika Town.

Its students seem to like him for his beauty and handsomeness.
Beika Art School

Haido University
Haido University (杯戸大学 Haido Daigaku ) is the fictional counterpart of Rikkyo University. It was shown in The Mystery of Beika Street Crossroad. Its existence is therefore not confirmed in the canon plot as it appeared in a filler episode.

Jonan University (城南大学 Jounan Daigaku ) is first mentioned in the Night Baron Murder Case, where one of the suspects, Satoru Maeda, was a member of the Electronics department. It appeared in later filler episodes, such as The Kamen Yaiba Murder Case, where it is confirmed that Jonan has a Law school and an Engineering school.
The university appeared more recently in The Raven Chaser. "Jonan University" is the equivalent of "Jane Doe" in English, as "Jonan" is used in Japan as a name for any normal university. The culprit of the Underwater Key in the Locked Room Case is a 4th year Med school student.
Teito University
Teito University (帝都大学 Teito Daigaku ) (Lit. Imperial Capital) is a university in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. It is first mentionned in Friendship Washed Away in the Riverbed. This filler episode suggests the university has a school of Humanities, of Philosophy and of Education. This is not confirmed in the canon as the episode was an anime original.
Entertainment places
Tropical Land
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 Town Shopping Mall
Haido Town Shopping Mall (杯戸町のショッピングモール Haido-chō no Shoppingu Mōru ) has the largest ferris wheel 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
Miracle Land (ミラクルランド Mirakuru rando ) is an amusement park that is prominently featured in The Private Eyes' Requiem. The over-sea ride is similar to the real-life Hakkeijima Sea Paradise in Yokohama.
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. In the manga and anime series the tower is referred to as Tohto[3] 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 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. 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. 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.

Located near the Mouri Detective Agency, Masumi Sera and the unknown child moved in here during the Shogi Tournament Case. This is also where Yumi Miyamoto had been taken hostage.
Railway Tracks and Stations
Trains and their tracks play important roles in getting the characters around throughout Beika City and the rest of Japan. The prominent railway company is Tohto[3] Railways (東都鉄道 Tōto Tetsudō ), henceforth referred to as TR, a reference to the real-life Japan Railways (JR).
TR Terminal Station
