Yurashuku, Hokuei Town, Tottori Prefecture, Japan!

Departing from Tottori Station early in the morning to Hokuei Town, waking up early just to catch this Conan Train🤩! The morning San'in Main Line Conan Train arrives around 6:30 AM and 9:30 AM. Get off at Yura Station on the San'in Main Line. Yura Station in Hokuei Town, Tottori Prefecture, also has another name: Conan Station! Hokuei Town is the hometown of Conan's original author, Gosho Aoyama. Many people call this place Yura City, but actually, Tottori Prefecture only has four cities: Tottori, Kurayoshi, Yonago, and Sakaiminato. Yura is just a community in Hokuei Town! Yura Station is an unmanned station with no electronic signboards. On the San'in Main Line, except for stations in a few big cities, most stations are unmanned, and various transportation cards are generally not usable. There are no ticket inspectors or gates at Yura Station. After getting off, you need to put your ticket and整理劵 into the ticket box at the exit. After exiting Yura Station, you can see the statues of the Detective Boys. A ten-minute walk will take you to the statues of Gin and Vodka in front of the Hokuei Town Hall! Gin is holding the famous drug APTX4869, implying that this is the source of all evil, the place where Conan's entire story begins. Crossing the Conan Bridge, you will reach Shinichi Kudo's house. Pressing the doorbell at the front door will make Shinichi Kudo's voice come out. Next to it are the statues of the lost Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama. Behind the statues is a map of Hokuei Town, meaning that if you get lost, you can get hints. Next to Shinichi's house is the Beika Shopping Street! A shopping street that often appears in the Conan anime, consisting of two tea shops, a souvenir shop, and the Conan Labyrinth (only open on holidays). I visited the Beika Shopping Street tea shop コナンズキッチン (Conan's Kitchen), which is closed every Wednesday. Walking forward from the shopping street, you will reach the Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory! The entrance fee is 700 yen, and it is closed irregularly! Inside, some of Aoyama's original art collections are on display. Tottori is the birthplace of two famous manga artists, Shigeru Mizuki and Gosho Aoyama! Conan Bridge JR Yura Station Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory Hokuei Town, Tōhaku District
