The park is built in what is now considered a standard layout: guests enter the park into a central hub which then splits off into other themed areas radiating out from the center.

This location was first introduced in the Magic Kaito manga.

Miracle Land

This amusement park is prominently featured in the 10th movie, The Private Eyes' Requiem. The over-sea ride is similar to the real-life Hakkeijima Sea Paradise in Yokohama.

Historical sites

Landmarks

Tokyo Tower/Tohto Tower

Tokyo Tower (東京タワー Tōkyō Tawā?) is a 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.[15] In the manga and anime series the tower is referred to as Tohto[16] Tower (東都タワー Tōto Tawā?). "Tohto" is a shorter way of saying Tokyo Metropolis (東京都 Tōkyō-to?). The tower was featured in the 13th movie, The Raven Chaser during the climax of the film.

Bell Tree Tower

Tsutenkaku Tower

The Tsutenkaku Tower (通天閣 Tsūtenkaku?) 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 Tokyo 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.[17] 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.

Tokyo Sky Tree/Bell Tree Tower

The Tokyo Sky Tree (東京スカイツリー Tōkyō Sukai Tsurī?) is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower located in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan construction was complete on February 29, 2012, while it opened to the public on May 22, 2012. The Sky Tree was built mostly to give better digital terrestrial television coverage since the Tokyo Tower has long been overshadowed by taller high-rise buildings and is unable to provide the necessary coverage.[18] The in series name for the Tokyo Sky Tree is Bell Tree Tower (ベルツリータワー Beru Tsurī Tawā?). Judging from the use of the name "Bell Tree", it seems it was built/is owned in series by the Suzuki Zaibatsu. The Sky Tree replaced the Tokyo Tower as the scene of the climax for Akako's face-off against Kaitou Kid in A Witch Sheds No Tears. The tower has been featured recently in Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie, The Coded Invitation, and Dimensional Sniper.
