This is the very best place for a detective Conan fan. Inside the museum, there is a lot of original comic books work from Gosho Aoyama sensei. Also, a place to taking a picture with your favorite character. Moreover, there are a lot of original souvenirs that fan must-have. Every corner of this small town has "Conan" decorations such as a train station, sweet cafe, and restaurants. If you are a one who loves detective Conan. This is the very best places to visit.

The actual name of Conan Station is Yura station. It is about an hour train ride from Tottori Station. There are about 5-6 trains for each direction daily so I would recommend at least half a day in this city. The station is full of Conan-themed decorations from the walls and ceilings of the ticket counter, stairs at the platform, lockers, and so on. There is a Tourist Information Centre that sells Conan postage stamp sheet and guidebook of Conan Town. These are not available in Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory and Conan Shopping Street. You can also do stamp rally with the Guidebook and if you can get at least 5, you can get a sticker from the same counter later on. The biggest attraction is the coloured Conan statue outside the station. Although it is not as big as I imagined, the statue alone is worth 5 star rating for Conan fans. Near the bicycle parking lot (turn left after exiting the station), there is a smaller bronze statue of Conan as well.
