{{Under Construction}}

This is a list of real life buildings, places and other surroundings [[Gosho Aoyama]] used as reference models for the [[Setting|settings]] appearing in ''[[Magic Kaito]]''.

There will be mentions of the different (real) [[Wikipedia: Wards of Japan|wards (-ku)]] of [[Tokyo]] and the [[Wikipedia: List of towns in Japan|towns (-chō)]] they are composed of respectively a lot, which can get quite complicated and confusing if you are not knowledgable about the geography of Tokyo and how this city is administrated. Below you can see a very good map from [http://tokyomap.com/index.php TokyoMap.com], giving you a quick and simple rundown of the structure of its wards.

{{main|Yaiba#Chapters}}

=== Yaiba Appears (Yaiba Manga: [[Yaiba Volume 1#Yaiba Appears|1]]) ===
The unnamed jungle [[Yaiba Kurogane]] and his father live in seems to be (intentionally) highly ambigious about what jungle or even on which continent 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, his father [[Kenjuro Kurogane]] and their pet tiger Kategora arrive at is the real [[Wikipedia: Narita International Airport|Narita International Airport]] on the border between the towns of [[Wikipedia: Narita, Chiba|Narita]] and [[Wikipedia: Shibayama, Chiba|Shibayama]] in the [[Wikipedia: Chiba Prefecture|Chiba Prefecture]], which is part of the [[Wikipedia: Greater Tokyo Area|Greater Tokyo Area]]. It was the biggest and most important airport serving Tokyo back then, before it was replaced in this function by [[Wikipedia: Haneda Airport|Haneda Airport]]. They would also have to arrive in what is [[Wikipedia: Narita International Airport#Terminal 1|Terminal 1]] nowadays, since Terminal 2 and 3 opened in 1992 and 2015 respectively, long after the release of this chapter.

=== Yaiba in Danger (Yaiba Manga: [[Yaiba Volume 2#Yaiba in Danger|17]]) ===
Takeshi Onimaru forces his entry into the [[Wikipedia: National Diet Building|Kokkai-gijidō]], also known as the National Diet Building of Japan in [[Wikipedia: Nagata-chō|Nagata Town]] in the 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). This technically makes Onimaru's castle a real building, as this, it's one of the best 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.
