I...I can survive in this town, right? Conan Town!
"I... can I survive in this town?"
The other name for Yura Station in Tottori is Conan Station!
As soon as you get off the station, this town filled with Conan characters is Conan Town, created in Tottori, the hometown of Detective Conan author Gosho Aoyama!
Once you get out of the station, don't forget to get a stamp at the tourist information center facing the Conan statue~
If you follow the Conan statues placed all over the street from the station, you will come across Shinichi (Nam Do-il)'s house, which is called Beika Shopping Street.
If you press the doorbell of Shinichi's house, the voices of the main characters will answer one by one. There is a souvenir shop and an actual restaurant modeled after the Poirot restaurant on the first floor of the Mori Detective Agency, so you can have a meal. The fun part is that if you enter the Poirot restaurant entrance, you will be connected to the inside of Shinichi's mansion that you saw at first..!
If you walk a little further, you will come across the Gosho Aoyama Memorial Hall. This two-story building features original drawings of Detective Conan comics, various experiences, and informative exhibits.
By the way, even the public restroom signs in this town are made of silhouettes of the male and female protagonists. The town itself is a very quiet rural town where locals live, but these elements are very faithful to the concept, so for people like me who grew up watching it at a similar age to Conan and have grown up to be closer to the age of the famous detective, it was such an exciting place.
(I collected up to volume 80 of Detective Conan when I was a student, but it’s been on hiatus for a long time now, right?)
It took half a day to tour the town and the exhibition hall.
Fortunately, there was no culprit of the black silhouette in Conan Town, and I was able to return safely~
You can get to Yura Station from Yonago Airport, which is an hour and a half from Seoul, and transfer to Yonago Station, and arrive there in less than an hour, depending on the type of train!
