Shibuya (渋谷区 Shibuya-ku?), also mentioned as "Shibōya" in the Magic Kaito TV Specials, is one of the 23 special wards and an important business and entertainment center of Tokyo, which appears, gets mentioned and used as a model a lot in the works by Gosho Aoyama. The famous Shibuya Crossing, the Tsutaya Store, Shibuya 109 and the fittingly named Shibuya Station are part of it, all of which appeared in his different works. It's composed of five major areas divided into 31 districts, with a population of 221,801 (2016). Shibuya is also the name for a shopping district around Shibuya Station contained in this ward.

Places of interest

Daikanyama Address Tower

Ran's view over a large part of Shibuya (and Shinjuku in the distance) from Masumi's apartment.

The 50 floors tall skyscraper hotel Masumi and Mary Sera live in during the Romance Novelist Murder Case shares its position (but not its model) with the Daikanyama Address Tower, the only skyscraper of this kind in the vicinity from which such a panorama like the one depicted through her windows can be seen. The building is a popular spot for the filming of live action dramas. In the manga of Detective Conan, this place seems to be part of Beika.

Interestingly, it's implied to be in or near Beika here, considering they were on the way to Professor Hiroshi Agasa's house and went to the bridge by foot. The name of the bridges (this one and an identically named in Osaka) also play a bigger role during this case.
