Conan Town

While I was living in Japan I heard that there was a place in Tottori prefecture where there were lots of statues of the characters from Detective Conan. Naturally, as complete Conan fangirl I had to check this out! So, with my friend Sefilin, I travelled from Osaka to Tottori city and from there on to a little place called Daiei... or rather, Conan town - Gosho Aoyama-san's hometown. There we found statues of Conan and Shinichi, billboards, a Conan shop and a museum with every Conan collectable imaginable (unfortunately not for sale!).

The map outside Yura station that welcomes visitors and outlines the various sights.

Shinichi waits outside the local library. Perhaps Ran is late? There were posters and maps of the town inside as well as some very useful coin lockers!

A close up, frontal view, of the Shinichi statue outside the library. Yes, he is lifesize!

The Conan bridge, decorated with several statues of Conan in various poses as well as some plaques.
