Like most artists, [[Gosho Aoyama]] bases his [[Setting|settings]] - sometimes more, sometimes less - on real world models and even the locations his series play in can be vaguely pinpointed. Please see this list here as an active work in progress. What you'll do with this information in the end is up to you - maybe you can use this knowledge for a fan fiction or go on one of those [[Manga]]/[[Anime]] pilgrimages when you are in Japan.

−
Every series will be partitioned by medium (yes, the position of the same building or place in a franchise differs from medium to medium sometimes) and per section, there will first be comparions between the real world model and Gosho's interpretation and afterwards there will be a rough estimation of where his stories are set (based on hints to their relative location in-universe - and yes, this also isn't always the same place as where the model it was based on happens to be in real life).

There will be mentions of the different (real) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wards_of_Japan wards (-ku)] of [[Tokyo]] and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_towns_in_Japan towns (-chō)] they are composed of respectively a lot, which can get quite complicated and confusing if you are not knowledgable about the geography of Tokyo and how this city is administrated. To the right you can see a very good map from [http://tokyomap.com/index.php TokyoMap.com], giving you a quick and simple rundown of the structure of its wards.

|'''[[Tropical Land]]''' in it's ''Detective Conan'' Manga incarnation from '''FILE.1''' onwards ([[Volume 1]]+, [[Volume_1#File_001_-_The_Heisei_Holmes|File 1]]+): seems to be a composite of several different theme parks in and around Tokyo, including some of their attractions, with the most striking ones being [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Disneyland Tokyo Disneyland] (where Gosho Aoyama was working at as a painter during the eighties) and the distinct castle at the center, as well as [https://www.summerland.co.jp/english/ Summer Land].

|'''Futatsubashi Middle School''' the kidnapper keeps [[Akiko Tani]] at is very probably a play on the Hitotsubashi Middle School in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiyoda,_Tokyo Chiyoda Ward].

|In '''FILE.37''' ([[Volume 4]], [[Volume_4#File_037_-_The_ABC.27s_of_Deciphering|File 8]]), the [[Detective Boys]] take a bus on the (back then) real To06 line (都06) of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toei_Bus Toei Bus] to get from [[Beika]] (or, rather, a bus stop close to [[Beika Park]], it seems) to [[Tokyo Tower]]. The line indeed lead from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibuya_Station Shibuya Station] through [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minato,_Tokyo Minato Ward], passed the Tower and had its final destination at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimbashi_Station Shimbashi Station]. As this, it's one of the most direct hints about where Beika may be set in the world of the Manga. (See below under "Where is it set?".) The complete route can be seen as a green line on the map.

While the Torakura mansion is said to be on the border of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saitama_Prefecture Saitama] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunma_Prefecture Gunma Prefectures], the real building and its surrounding park are actually situated in the [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%A5%BF%E3%83%B6%E5%8E%9F Nishigahara District] of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kita,_Tokyo Kita Ward] in Tokyo.

Interestingly, it's implied to be in or near Beika in Conan's world, considering they were on the way to [[Hiroshi_Agasa|Agasa's]] house and went to the bridge by foot. The name of the bridge(s) also plays a bigger role during this case.

Where is it set?

Beika

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 (Beika Ward (米花区 Beika-ku?)) which is roughly located on/in a real-life area consisting of a good chunk of northern Minato (maybe a third or even half of it), as well as small parts of Chiyoda, Shibuya and Shinagawa (and maybe a little of the south of 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.


File 843 Agasas Full Address.jpg

Professor Agasa's full address is revealed to be City of Tokyo, Beika Ward, Beika Town, 2nd Block, street address 22 (東京都米花区米花町２丁目２２番地 Tōkyō-to Beika-ku Beika-chō 2-chōme 22-banchi?) in FILE.843, proving that Beika is a district in a fictional ward of the same name in Tokyo.


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 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.


File 14 Conan running to Shinjuku.jpg

Tokyo Map File 4 Area 4km to South-East of Shinjuku.jpg

Conan came from somewhere in the area tinted and framed in blue.


The Detective Boys take a bus on the (back then) real To06 line (都06) of Toei Bus in FILE.37 (Volume 4, File 10) to get from Beika (or, rather, a bus stop close to Beika Park, it seems) to the Tokyo Tower. The line indeed lead from Shibuya Station through Minato Ward, stopped at the Tower and had its final destination at Shimbashi Station. The complete route can be seen as a green line on the following map.


Toei To06 Bus Manga.jpg

Tokyo Map File 37 To06 Line.jpg

The green line, symbolizing the To06 bus route, would lead through Beika.


Conan meets Kaitou Kid for the first time in FILE.156 on the roof of the Haido City Hotel. The view from it over a portion of the Minato Ward, including Tokyo Tower and the Shiroyama Trust Tower to the left of it, firmly places the fictional building on the position of the real ANA Intercontinental Tokyo Hotel, even though the buildings look differently.

Tokyo Map File 156 Marker Haido City Hotel.jpg

Shortly before that, Conan takes a look around, to the right of Tokyo Tower, and watches a bunch of searchlights scouring the sky, commenting that this is where Beika Museum should be - which would place it approximately where the Azabu Districts (including Roppongi) are in real life.


File 156 View from Haido City Hotel.jpg

In FILE.267 - 269, a serial arsonist sets fire to several places in Tokyo, the last of which so far is in Yotsuya, a district in Shinjuku, where Ayumi Yoshida saw the arsonist after he started the fire. Shortly after being interrogated by inspector Miwako Sato at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department about the person in question, she wants to drive to Yotsuya together with the Detective Boys, saying that she wants to take a stop anyway, since it's "the same way" - which is revealed to be the 4th block of Haido, where her father happened to die 18 years ago, firmly placing this block of the fictitious district somewhere between the real districts of Kasumigaseki (Chiyoda Ward) and the aforementioned Yotsuya - in an area on the southwest border of Chiyoda it shares with Minato Ward.


Tokyo Map File 267 4th Block Haido Approximation.jpg

On the route between the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and Yotsuya, inspector Shiratori tells Megure that Takagi, Satō and himself are at the 4th block of Haido.

To be continued...

Tokyo Tower from below.jpg EP4 Gallery 4.JPG Tōto Tower in Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case (Season 1, Episode 4) of course is Tokyo Tower in anything but name. It goes on to become a recurring location, implied to be very close to Beika and Haido, maybe even part of it in the world of Detective Conan.
Harajuku Station Tokyo.jpg TV Episode 65 Karajuku Station.jpg The kidnapper in Episode 65: A Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case (Season 3, Episode 11) demands the money to be handed over at Karajuku Station (空宿駅 Karajuku-eki), which is a fictionalized version of Harajuku Station (原宿駅 Harajuku-eki), in real life located in the Jingumae District of Shibuya Ward in Tokyo.

The aforementioned park indeed is a popular spot for kite flying competitions in real life. The bridge sporting these distinct Y-shaped concrete pylons seen several times next to the park in the same case, on the other hand, is the Shin-Arakawa Bridge.
Cinemas Q Naha.jpg EP902 8.jpg The cinema Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki go to at the end of Episode 902: Lawyer Kisaki's SOS (Season 28, Episode 5) is modeled after the Cinemas Q in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture, in real life on the island of Kyushu.

Considering Amuro must have passed Yokohama to reach Chiyari Station, it's a fitting location to stop.

Model Manga Description
Musashi University Ekoda Campus.jpg Ekoda High School Manga.jpg Ekoda High School - in this incarnation from Chapter 1 (Magic Kaito Volume 1, Chapter 1) onwards - is very probably based on the main building (#3) on the Ekoda Campus of Musashi University, right next to the Ekoda Campus (fine arts) of Nihon University, where Gosho Aoyama and Yutaka Abe (a past mentor and current assistant of his) studied and lived - also not far away from Ekoda Station, which was close to Gosho's apartment.

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 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. All of the mentioned campuses and buildings are located in the adjacent neighbourhoods of Asahigaoka and Toyotamakami in Nerima Ward. Ekoda High School was first used by Yutaka Abe in 100% Tantei Monogatari in 1986 (set in the same universe as Magic Kaito and made with the assistance of Gosho).

Fourth Block Ginza Real Life.jpg Fourth Block Ginza Magic Kaito Manga.jpg The crossroads the helicopters pass close to the end of the first chapter to catch Kaitou Kid is a real crossing in the fourth block of Ginza (Chūō Ward, Tokyo), especially identifiable by the Fujiya store to the left.

The view would thus be to the southeast, with the helicopters in consequence flying to the northeast to reach "Ono Bank" (which probably was a nod to the Tokyo Bank, which indeed was located in Nihonbashi - to the northeast of Ginza - back then (before merging with Mitsubishi Bank and moving to Chiyoda Ward), which is supported by the fact that "Ono" was a generic placeholder word for terms with "Tokyo" and "Japan" in it, used by Gosho in the same vein as "Tohto" nowadays). Interestingly, this intersection is right next to another famous crossroads in Ginza - the one Kid did his midair walk over in Detective Conan later on.

Hotel New Otani Real Life.jpg Hotel New Otani Silhouette Magic Kaito Manga.jpg During Kaito's and Konosuke Jii's fateful encounter, still in the first chapter, a night-time view of Hotel New Otani Tokyo and its surroundings in the Kioi District of Chiyoda Ward (Tokyo) can be seen.
Warren Truss Steel Railroad Bridge Arakawa.jpg River Railroad Bridge Magic Kaito Manga.jpg Kaito Kuroba's route from school leads him along a river, which, based on the surroundings, looks a lot like the Arakawa or Edo River and one of their Warren truss steel railway bridges, like this one, this one or this one, for example. In Chapter 2 (Magic Kaito Volume 1, Chapter 2), he meets the depressed inspector Ginzo Nakamori sitting at the riverbank and cheers him up and in Chapter 19 (Magic Kaito Volume 3, Chapter 6) he passes the same spot again. Gosho lived in the Adachi Ward of Tokyo for a while[1], through which the Arakawa flows and several of these bridges exist - so it maybe served as the inspiration for these moments.
Ikebukuro Station Central Gate Real Life.jpg Ikebukuro Station Central Gate Magic Kaito Manga.jpg Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori leave one of the central gates of Ikebukuro Station (Ikebukuro District in the Toshima Ward of Tokyo) on their way from school in Chapter 8 (Magic Kaito Volume 2, Chapter 2). The train station is also named as such.
Tokyo Dome Real Life.jpg Tokyo Dome Magic Kaito Manga.jpg A good chunk of Chapter 11 (Magic Kaito Volume 2, Chapter 5) revolves around a fake accouncement of Kaitou Kid appearing in Tokyo Dome - which he does, in the end. Tokyo Dome is depicted like it is in real life, situated in the Bunkyō Ward. Moreover, according to Gosho himself, he and his editor were especially thrilled by the scenario of Kid appearing on a pole in Tokyo Dome for a story.[2]
Jacks Tower Yokohama.jpg Ekoda Museum Manga.jpg The distinctive tower of the Ekoda Museum is actually based on one of three popular towers in Yokohama's Naka Ward, the clock tower of the Honcho Building, also known as "Jack's Tower", or just "The Jack".
Fuji-san from Hotel Mt Fuji 1994.jpg Magic Kaito Chapter 18 Fuji-san.jpg The new morning after the night of Kaitou Kid's and Yaiba Kurogane's battle in Chapter 18 (Magic Kaito Volume 3, Chapter 5) is symbolized by a caricature version of Mount Fuji, which is a real volcano on the boundary between the Prefectures of Shizuoka and Yamanashi and within sight of Tokyo.
Eiffel Tower Paris.jpg Magic Kaito Chapter 25 Hakuba in Paris.jpg Saguru Hakuba is staying in a hotel in Paris in Chapter 25 (Magic Kaito Volume 4, Chapter 5), with the Eiffel Tower clearly visible in the background.
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Real Life.jpg Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Magic Kaito Manga.jpg The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (also known as Keishichō) appearing from Chapter 27 (Magic Kaito Volume 4, Chapter 7) onwards is the real thing from the Kasumigaseki District of Chiyoda Ward, just like it is in Detective Conan. It's real life address is also given in Chapter 29 (Magic Kaito Volume 5, Chapter 1).
National Museum Ueno Real Life.jpg National Museum Ueno Magic Kaito Manga.jpg The unnamed museum from the very beginning of the first chapter of "Midnight Crow" (Chapter 31 / Magic Kaito Volume 5, Chapter 3) and the whole of "Sun Halo" (Chapters 34 - 36 / Magic Kaito Volume 5, Chapter 6 - 8) is modeled after the National Museum of Nature and Science in the northeast of Ueno Park in the district of the same name - Ueno in Taitō Ward of Tokyo.
Haneda Airport Real Life.jpg Haneda Airport Magic Kaito Manga.jpg Harry Nezu arrives in Tokyo and gets interviewed at the Haneda Airport in Chapter 31 (Magic Kaito Volume 5, Chapter 3), which is in the Ōta Ward.
Yokkaichi Port Building.jpg Magic Kaito Chapter 32 Skyscraper.jpg The skyscraper from Chapter 31 - 33 (Magic Kaito Volume 5, Chapter 3 - 5) in Tokyo where Kaitou Kid and Kaitou Corbeau have their duel with the organization in is modeled after the look of the Yokkaichi Portbuilding (四日市港ポートビル) in the City of Yokkaichi, in real life located in the Mie Prefecture.
Nagerei-do Tottori Real Life.jpg Magic Kaito Chapter 34 Sandei Temple.jpg The Sandei Temple is modeled after the Nageire Temple in Gosho's home prefecture Tottori, as was also confirmed by him in his comments accompanying these chapters and the in-story explanation that it is said that the Sandei was directly built after the image of the Nageire (which is denied by the priestess Niwano Yasuyo).

Tokyo Sky Tree from across Sumida Real Life.jpg Tokyo Sky Tree from across Sumida Magic Kaito Specials.jpg One shot in Episode 4: A Witch Sheds No Tears from across the river to the Tokyo Sky Tree is a real spot on a promenade at the Sumida River in the Asakusa District in the Taitō Ward, right next to the Tobu Line Sumida River Bridge visible to the left. This shot also exemplifies that the skyscraper Kaitou Kid used to skate to the Sky Tree, neighboring it, is completely fictional.
Yokohama Arena.jpg Minato Arena.jpg Minato Arena in Episode 7: The Splendid Rivals, in which Gunter von Goldberg II organizes his illusion show in, is modeled after the Yokohama Arena in the third block of the Shin-Yokohama District in the Kohoku Ward of Yokohama.

Besides the rather generous surroundings, animals like Gorillas (from Sub-Saharan Africa), Tigers (having their habitat in continental Asia) and Jaguars (who usually live in Central and South America) seem to have their habitat there.
Narita Airport Old.jpg Yaiba Chapter 1 Narita Airport.jpg The airport Yaiba Kurogane, his father Kenjuro and their tiger Kategora arrive at in Chapter 1 (Yaiba Volume 1, Chapter 1) is the real Narita International Airport on the border between the towns of Narita and Shibayama in the Chiba Prefecture, which is part of the Greater Tokyo Area.
