Model

The Toba Aquarium served as model for the Beika Aquarium.

The Beika Aquarium is directly modeled after the Toba Aquarium in the City of Toba in Mie Prefecture (3 Chome-3-6 Toba, Mie 517-8517, Japan (34°28'54"N 136°50'45"E)) in the manga, as well as in the anime, where it's replicated right down to the colors.

Trivia

  • The sea slug Namako-Otoko, one of Yaiba Kurogane's friends from Yaiba, is a mascot of Beika Aquarium and sold as mobile phone straps at the local gift shop. Shinichi Kudo buys a new mobile phone with the one Ran Mouri has attached to it after her previous model gets lost in front of the building.
