The Mouri Detective Agency (毛利探偵事務所)

The place where Detective Mouri lives with his daughter, Ran. Conan begins living there when he is shrunk in order to gain more information about the Black Organization.

Cafe Poirot (喫茶店ポアロ)

Cafe where Azusa Enomoto works, located directly beneath the Detective Agency. The cafe gets its name from one of Agatha Christie's most popular characters, Hercule Poirot.

Kudo Residence

House where Yusaku, Yukiko, and Shinichi lived. Current residence of Subaru Okiya after receiving permission from Conan Edogawa. After Yusaku and Yukiko traveled to America, Shinichi stayed in the house by himself while continuing to attend Teitan High School. Notable features of the house include its massive size and a huge library with dozens of shelves filled to capacity with mystery novels from all over the world.

According to the address on the letter from Teiji Moriya in The Time-Bombed Skyscraper, Shinichi's house is located at:
Beika City Beika Town
2-chōme, 21-banchi

The "2-21" number is a direct reference to Sherlock Holmes' residence at 221B Baker Street.

Agasa Residence

Agasa's residence.

Located next door to the Kudo residence, this is where Professor Agasa and later Ai Haibara live. Agasa's house is located at:

Beika City Beika Town
2-chōme, 22-banchi

Beika Center Building (米花センタービル)

Haido City (杯戸町)

Named after London's Hyde Park.[1] Judging from Haido's inclusion on the Beika City map found in Detective Conan Drill: The Decipherment of Conan, it can be inferred that Haido is treated as another part of Beika City rather than its own location.

Haido City Hotel (杯戸シティホテル)

Haido Art Museum (杯戸美術館)

Cafe Columbo (喫茶コロンボ)

A cafe first mentioned in chapter 2 of the manga. It is the restaurant that Professor Agasa had been to right before meeting Conan. The restaurant itself first appears in the The Forgotten Cell Phone Case. The restaurant gets its name from TV detective Columbo.

This amusement park is prominently featured in the 10th movie, The Private Eyes' Requiem.

Historical sites

Landmarks

Touto (Tokyo) Tower (東都タワー)

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. 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.[4]

Tsutenkaku Tower (通天閣)

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.[5] 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.
