[[File:Tokyo_Wards_Map.jpg|thumb|right|The Wards of Tokyo]]
 
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]. Furthermore, the '''Hyakujii Park''' the kidnapper wants his ransom money placed in is based on the name of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakujii_Park Shakujii Park] Gosho once lived close to during his time in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerima Nerima Ward] and which he often visited in his spare time.<ref>[[Questions given by the Shonen Sunday magazine#1994]], 1994 #16, FILE.12<br>公園や遊園地など、お勧めの遊び場は、「前に住んでいたマンションの近所の石神井公園。」<br>Playgrounds, such as public parks and amusement parks, that you recommend is "The Ishigamii park, which was near the apartment I used to live in."<br>translated by justwantanaccount<br>

|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.

The real stadium has been restructured since then and looks vastly different than at the time it was featured in ''Detective Conan''.

| The "'''Yotsubishi Gas'''" station in '''FILE.82''' ([[Volume 9]], [[Volume_9#Trapped_Ayumi_Case|File 2]]) is a play on the (once) real "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi Mitsubishi] Gas" stations, including a fitting four-petaled logo (instead of the usual three-petaled one); but considering that there are, like, thousands of gas stations in and around Tokyo who all look similar or identical, and the fact that none of them have that same name anymore (most of it seems to be [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JXTG_Nippon_Oil_%26_Energy Nippon Oil] by now) and that this was over two decades ago, I'll already guess that it will be extremely difficult or impossible to ever find this exact one...

Contrary to the [[movies]], though, it isn't on vaguely the same position as the real train station, but closer to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebisu,_Shibuya Ebisu] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotanda Gotanda Districts] on the border between the wards [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibuya Shibuya], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minato,_Tokyo Minato] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinagawa Shinagawa] - more about that later.

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.

| The '''Ebisu Bridge''' [[Conan_Edogawa|Conan]] goes to ("secretly" being followed by [[Ai_Haibara|Ai]] and the [[Detective Boys]]) in '''FILE.879''' ([[Volume 83]], File 7) is a real bridge in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebisu,_Shibuya Ebisu District] of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibuya Shibuya 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.

The warehouses on the right (and the one the case happens in) are the Hinode Pier Warehouses (2 Chome-7 Kaigan, Minato Ward, Tokyo 105-0022) - in real life, the ones on the panel/photo are numbered 2-A, 2-B, 2-C, etc., in ''Detective Conan'', they are simply given numbers. Judging by their Manga and real life succession, No. 4 (where the murder happens in) should correlate with warehouse 2-D.
 
 
Furthermore, the ship in front of the other one [[Ran Mouri]], [[Kazuha Toyama]] and [[Momiji Ooka]] photograph themselves in front of in the last chapter of this case is the "[https://www.silversea.com/en/ships/silver-muse.html Silver Muse]" of the Silverseas company, which actually passes (or passed - it seemingly moved to Canada afterwards) the Hinode Pier on its route when it arrives in Tokyo after leaving [[Yokohama]] - just like it passed Haido Port in ''Detective Conan''. I haven't found out the "identity" of the other ship, though.

==== 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 ({{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.
 
 
 
[[File:File_843_Agasas_Full_Address.jpg|380px]]
 
 
<small>[[Hiroshi_Agasa|Professor Agasa's]] full address is revealed to be {{nihongo|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.</small>
 
 
 
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.

<small>Conan came from somewhere in the area tinted and framed in blue.</small>
 
 
 
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] 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibuya_Station Shibuya Station] through Minato Ward, stopped at the Tower and had its final destination at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimbashi_Station Shimbashi Station]. The complete route can be seen as a green line on the following map.

<small>The green line, symbolizing the To06 bus route, would lead through Beika.</small>
 
 
 
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 [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%9F%8E%E5%B1%B1%E3%82%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%83%87%E3%83%B3 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.

<small>Kid and Conan with the panorama of Minato behind them - including the Shiroyama Trust and Tokyo Tower.</small>
 
 
 
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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azabu Azabu Districts] (including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roppongi Roppongi]) are in real life.

In FILE.267 - 269, a serial arsonist sets fire to several places in Tokyo, the last of which so far is in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yotsuya 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metropolitan_Police_Department 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasumigaseki Kasumigaseki] (Chiyoda Ward) and the aforementioned Yotsuya - in an area on the southwest border of Chiyoda it shares with Minato Ward.

| '''[[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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musashi_University Musashi University], right next to the Ekoda Campus (fine arts) of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihon_University Nihon University], where [[Gosho Aoyama]] and [[Yutaka Abe]] (a past mentor and current assistant of his) studied and lived - also not far away from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekoda_Station 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 [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. All of the mentioned campuses and buildings are located in the adjacent neighbourhoods of [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%AD%E4%B8%98_(%E7%B7%B4%E9%A6%AC%E5%8C%BA) Asahigaoka] and [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%B1%8A%E7%8E%89%E4%B8%8A Toyotamakami] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerima Nerima Ward].

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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_bank Tokyo Bank], which indeed was located in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihonbashi Nihonbashi] - to the northeast of Ginza - back then (before merging with Mitsubishi Bank and moving to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiyoda,_Tokyo 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).
