Trivia

• This is the first case to take place in Kyoto Prefecture (outside of Kyoto City).
• The names of Tsuji's Ryokan and Nishino's lavish hotel-style Ryokan are taken from screenwriter Akatsuki Yamatoya's own name.
• The main inspiration for the setting location is the small town of Ine, in Yosa District, Kyoto Prefecture. The boathouses shown are the world-famous "funaya" (舟屋) from the Ineura area. Other features incorporated into the episode are the streetscape of Ineura and Ine Bay.
  • This is proven when when Nishino says that the town has less than 2,000 inhabitants and that it has no railway connection. This is indeed true in the case of Ine Town, although its population has fallen to around 1,700 inhabitants in its 2025 estimate.
  • The Urasawa Shrine (浦沢神社) is the real-life Urashima-jinja (浦嶋神社) in Ine's Honjōhama area, known for its relation to the legend of Urashima Tarō. Are shown in the episode the shrine's gate, worship hall and the Urashima Myōjin Hanging Scroll (浦嶋明神縁起絵巻), as well as the treasure box found on Takeshi Yamaoka's body, which is a real-life artifact. The name in the case is taken from Yoshio Urasawa, another screenwriter for the Detective Conan anime-original episodes and Yamatoya's mentor.
  • The uninhabited island in the bay corresponds to the real-life Aoshima Island.
• The song heard before finding the victims' bodies is children's song "Urashima Tarō".
