Model	Manga	Description
		The unnamed jungle Yaiba Kurogane and his father live in seems to be (intentionally) highly ambigious about what jungle or even where it could remotely be. Besides the rather generous surroundings, animals like Gorillas (from Sub-Saharan Africa), Tigers (having their habitat in continental Asia) and Jaguars (who usually live in Central and South America) seem to have their habitat there.
		The airport Yaiba Kurogane, his father Kenjuro and their tiger Kategora arrive at in Chapter 1 (Yaiba Volume 1, Chapter 1) is the real Narita International Airport on the border between the towns of Narita and Shibayama in the Chiba Prefecture, which is part of the Greater Tokyo Area. It was the biggest and most important airport serving Tokyo back then, before it was replaced in this function by Haneda Airport.
		"Mount Tengu" from Chapter 13 - 24 (Yaiba Volume 2, Chapter 4 - Yaiba Volume 3, Chapter 5) Yaiba, Kagetora and Shonosuke are abducting Sayaka to and on which Miyamoto Musashi has been living for the last couple of centuries is a real mountain on the border of the cities Chino and Koumi in Nagano Prefecture.
		In Chapter 15 (Yaiba Volume 2, Chapter 6), Takeshi Onimaru is awakening the Eight Demons in a cave at Mount Fuji, which is a real volcano on the boundary between the Prefectures of Shizuoka and Yamanashi and within sight of Tokyo.
		Onimaru forces his entry into the Kokkai-gijidō, also known as the National Diet Building of Japan in the district of Nagata in Chiyoda Ward of Tokyo to take over the government of the country and remodel the building in his image of a demon castle, which he uses throughout Chapter 17 - 61 (Yaiba Volume 2, Chapter 8 - Yaiba Volume 7, Chapter 2). So, yes, Onimaru's castle is technically a real building - as this, it's one of the more important places to pinpoint the location of the fictional Yaoya District and the mansion of the Mine family, since it's pretty close to the castle.
		Kokura Station from Chapter 40 (Yaiba Volume 5, Chapter 1), at which Yaiba, Sayaka and their friends try to escape from Kojiro Sasaki to Tokyo, is a real train station in the [url=https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/浅野 (北九州市) Asano District](jp) of Kokurakita Ward in the City of Kitakyushu, situated in Fukuoka Prefecture.
		Sayaka, Kagetora, Gerozaimon Geroda and Namako-Otoko arrive in Tokyo at the Marunouichi Building of Tokyo Station (pre-renovation status) in Chapter 42 (Yaiba Volume 5, Chapter 3), which is also named as such. It's location is the Marunouichi District in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. They disguise themselves and instantly go to the Mine house by foot afterwards, implying that Sayaka's home is relatively close to Marunouichi - another hint that Yaoya Town is around Chiyoda.
		The twin tower building in central Tokyo Onimaru is about to destroy in Chapter 216 (Yaiba Volume 21, Chapter 7) is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in the Nishi-Shinjuku District of Shinjuku Ward.
		The luxurious home of the Kurogane family (or to be more specific, the house of Yaiba's sister Moroha and their mother Michiko) is modeled after the Palais du Luxembourg, in real life to be found at Rue de Vaugirard 15 in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.
