| |
| First of all: Beika of course isn't real. :p But [[Gosho Aoyama]] once said it's a combination of real and fictional parts mixed up and the Manga indeed is ripe with little hints to where it ''would'' approximately be located if it would exist. The town of Beika and its equally fictional neighbouring districts like [[Haido]], [[Toriya]], [[Buraku]] and [[Sutan]] are set in a fictionalized ward of Tokyo ({{nihongo|Beika Ward|米花区|Beika-ku}}) which is roughly located on/in a real-life area consisting of a good chunk of northern [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minato,_Tokyo Minato] (maybe a third or even half of it), as well as small parts of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiyoda,_Tokyo Chiyoda], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibuya Shibuya] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinagawa Shinagawa] (and ''maybe a little'' of the south of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjuku Shinjuku]) bordering on it - or on a made-up piece of land between all of those. This position of Beika is pretty consistent throughout the [[Manga]] and suggested by the following evidence.

| In FILE.14 ([[Volume 2]], File 5), [[Conan Edogawa]] is on the way back from the [[Beika Police Department]] to the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] together with [[Kogoro_Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Ran Mouri]], during which he - with the help of his new glasses gadget - geolocates the tall man "4 kilometers to the northwest... in Shinjuku", which, if you take any point in Shinjuku, would encompass exactly the area tinted and framed in blue on the following map for Conan (and the part of Beika seen here) to potentially be in - consisting of a good chunk of the upper half of Minato, the lower half of Chiyoda and a remote southeast corner of Shinjuku itself.

| Interestingly enough, building #3 was a high school once and what is the Ekoda Campus of Nihon today once housed another high school associated with the university, called [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%A6%E6%B1%9F%E5%8F%A4%E7%94%B0%E9%AB%98%E7%AD%89%E5%AD%A6%E6%A0%A1 Ekoda High School] (also shortened as 江古田高校 ([i]Ekoda kōkō[/i]), like the school in the Manga), which closed in 1976 and is also used as a university building today.
