Hokuei: A Great Detective Tour of Gosho Aoyama Furusato Kan and Conan Station
A pilgrimage course to fully enjoy Hokuei Town (北栄町), Tottori Prefecture, the hometown of Detective Conan creator Gosho Aoyama. Walk from Yura Station (由良駅), also known as Conan Station, through Conan Street (コナン通り) lined with bronze statues, to Gosho Aoyama Furusato Kan (青山剛昌ふるさと館), where original hand-drawn manuscripts and trick experiences await. For lunch, enjoy a sandwich at Cafe Poirot (喫茶ポアロ) in Beika Shopping Street (米花商店街), then take a leisurely afternoon stroll around the National Historic Site Yura Daiba Ruins (由良台場跡). Finish up by hunting for souvenirs of Daiei watermelon and Twentieth Century pears at Michi-no-Eki Daiei (道の駅大栄). Since the main highlights are mostly indoor exhibits, it also makes a reliable outing on rainy days. Whether you are a fan or a family unfamiliar with the series, this course is packed with the fun of walking around like a detective.
