    This is a must-visit spot for Conan fans. The moment you step out of JR Yura Station, it feels like you’ve truly entered the world of Detective Conan.

    Inside and outside the station, familiar characters are everywhere. As you walk slowly along “Conan Street,” you’ll come across statues and murals of Conan, Ran Mouri, Ai Haibara, Kaito Kid, and more. It’s only about a 15–20 minute walk, but fans may easily spend an hour taking photos and hunting for little details, not wanting to leave.

    Once you arrive at the Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory, it feels even more like stepping into the creator’s imagination. You can see valuable original manuscripts, character designs, and stories behind the work, along with plenty of interactive experiences. It brings back the excitement of falling in love with Conan for the first time.

    The nearby Beika Shopping Street is also worth taking your time to explore. From the buildings and food to the exclusive merchandise, there are little surprises everywhere that only fans will fully appreciate.

    This isn’t just a place for photos. It’s a pilgrimage town where Conan fans will keep saying, “I know this!” and “So this really exists!”

    I’d recommend planning at least half a day here. But for true Conan fans, even a full day might not feel like enough.
