Anime in Tottori

The most frequent setting in the whole series: in the story, Haruka's and Makoto's homes stand beside the steep stairway climbing from the port to this shrine. In reality, where Haruka's would be there is an empty plot. The entrance is beside the fire station building at the port. It is a residential area: keep quiet and be respectful.

The small fishing port near Haruka's and Makoto's homes, which appears in many episodes of "Free!" and "Eternal Summer" and in the opening of the film "High Speed!". In episode 5 of the first season, the boat taking the club to the desert-island training camp leaves from here.

In "Eternal Summer", the club prays here for victory in the prefectural championship (ep. 7) and Makoto and Rin talk as children (ep. 10); in "Dive to the Future" (ep. 7) they come to draw fortunes before the regional meet. The stairway is as steep as in the series.

This beach, several hundred metres long and one of Iwami's main ones, appears many times in "High Speed!", "Eternal Summer" and "Dive to the Future", especially its western end. It is part of the Uradome coast, with granite cliffs and pine-covered islets, within the San'in Kaigan Geopark.

It is the model for Iwatobi Station. In "Eternal Summer" it appears when Nagisa and Rei commute to school and when the club leaves for the regional championship; the square in front appears in the film "High Speed!" and in the summer festival. The building is the original from 1910, renovated in 1994.

It is the model for Iwatobi Junior High in the film "High Speed! Free! Starting Days", about Haruka's junior-high years. It is a working school: view it only from the street, except during official collaboration events.

A museum opened in 2007 in Hokuei, Gōshō Aoyama's home town, at the end of Conan Street. It displays the author's keepsakes and material from his works (Detective Conan, Magic Kaito, Yaiba), recreates his workroom and lets you try Professor Agasa's inventions, such as the turbo skateboard. Admission: ¥700 (adults).

Yura Station (JR San'in Line) has officially carried the nickname "Conan Station" since 15 December 2013. The square in front has a bronze statue of Conan, and the 1.4 km Conan Street starts here and runs to the Aoyama museum.

The 1.4 km (about 20 minutes on foot) between Conan Station and the Aoyama museum. There are 19 bronze and coloured Conan figures and 30 stone monuments showing manga covers, plus manhole covers, street lamps and pavement signs with character profiles. The street's official guidebook is sold at the tourist office.

This bridge on Conan Street crosses the Yura River and is decorated with bronze panels from the series. It is one of the stops on the walk between the station and the museum.

A complex of four shops by Conan Street, inspired by the streets of Beika, the district where the series is set: Café Poirot (with the ham sandwich from the manga), a gelato shop, the Conan's Kitchen restaurant and the Conan Hyakkaten merchandise shop, with exclusive items.

A museum devoted to Mizuki’s life and work. The permanent exhibition includes GeGeGe no Kitaro and other manga, alongside materials on his career.

An approximately 800-metre promenade between Sakaiminato Station and the museum, with yokai sculptures including Kitaro. The pin marks the promenade rather than a particular statue.

Tottori has a Pokéfuta in every municipality, all featuring Sandshrew as a nod to its famous sand dunes. Next to the Tottori Sand Dunes it's one of the most emblematic stops of the Pokémon pilgrimage.

This 1907 French Renaissance-style mansion, an Important Cultural Property, is the residence of the trafficker Takeda Kanryū in the 2012 film.
