Teitan Elementary does not currently require a uniform. It is worth noting however that Shinichi referred to the clothing he first wore as Conan as his old primary school uniform, implying Teitan Elementary at one point did require uniforms.[5]

Notable appearances of Tropical Land within Detective Conan include The Roller Coaster Murder Case, The Revival of the Dying Message, and Captured in Her Eyes. This location was first introduced in the Magic Kaito manga.

Historical sites

Landmarks

Touto Tower

Touto (Tokyo) Tower (東都タワー) is communications and observation tower located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan built in the 1950s. Inspired in design by the Eiffel Tower, this landmark has become a popular tourist and school field trip destination. In the manga and anime series the tower is referred to by the "Touto Tower" name instead of "Tokyo Tower". ("Touto" is how Tokyo used to be called in the past.) The tower was featured recently in the 13th movie, The Raven Chaser during the climax of the film.[7]

Tsutenkaku Tower

The Tsutenkaku Tower (通天閣) is a weather and observation tower located in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan built originally in 1912, dismantled, and then rebuilt in the 1950s. This tower, like Touto Tower, was inspired in design by the Eiffel Tower in addition to the Arc de Triomphe. The 1912 Tsutenkaku Tower was built next to an amusement park but later dismantled in the 1940s in an effort to thwart American bombing raids. The current tower was built on the same site in the 1950s thanks to the efforts of the citizens of Osaka.[8] Notable appearances of this landmark in Detective Conan include The Naniwa Serial Murder Case, Conan and Heiji and the Vanished Boy, and The Last Wizard of the Century.
