Anime in Tottori

A museum opened in 2007 in Hokuei, Gōshō Aoyama's home town, dedicated to Detective Conan: original manuscripts, character designs, a recreation of his studio and Professor Agasa's inventions. It is the heart of 'Conan town'.

Yura Station on the San'in Main Line, officially nicknamed 'Conan Station' since 2013 and fully decorated with the series' universe. It is the starting point of the town pilgrimage.

The roughly 1.4 km avenue linking Conan Station with the museum, lined with bronze statues of the characters, reliefs of famous cases and plaques set into the pavement. Walking it is the central stroll of 'Conan town'.

A bridge over the Yura River, halfway along Conan Street, decorated with reliefs and a statue of the detective mid-deduction. Its railings and plaques are entirely devoted to the series.

A recreation of the Beika shopping street where the series takes place, next to the museum: it includes Conan's house, Café Poirot and themed shops selling merchandise and sweets from the Conan universe.

The San'in Line station serving as Iwatobi's gateway: it is mirrored in the show and greets fans with panels, stamps and a room full of dedications. The town runs official routes from here.

The granite cliffs, pine-topped islets and crystal waters of this San'in Geopark coast are the series' omnipresent seascape: the beach where the boys train and the views of Iwatobi town. (Approximate coordinate: Uradome beach.)

The little fishing port perched on the hillside is the model for Iwatobi's seafaring quarter: its stepped alleys, breakwaters and Sea of Japan views appear again and again in the show.

A French Renaissance-style mansion built in 1907, used as a location in the live-action films for its authentic Meiji western architecture. Represents the contrast between western modernization and traditional Japan. Open to visitors as a museum.
