 An {{nihongo|old clock tower in front of a train station|駅前の古い時計台|Ekimae no furui tokei-dai}} appearing as a main setting in [[Magic Kaito Volume 4#Black Star|chapter 23-24]] of ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' where [[Kaito Kuroba]] and [[Aoko Nakamori]] met each other for the first time when they were younger children while the latter was waiting for her [[Ginzo Nakamori|father]]. The tower was erected by the father of [[Futoshi Takarada]], who hired a renowned foreign clock master to design it, who integrated some highly valuable diamonds into the hands of the clock. In the present, [[Kaitou Kid]] announces to steal the clock tower before it can be moved to an amusement park. It seems to be close enough to [[Tokyo Tower]] that its bell can be heard from the roof of its observation deck.
