Hometown of Detective Conan (柯南的故乡)

If you're a fan of Detective conan, you definitely know this catchphrase which always  used in the opening themes of the series.

"たったひとつの真実見抜く、見た目は子供、頭脳は大人、その名は名探偵コナン!"
(Perceiving the one and only truth, the appearance of a child, the intellect of an adult, his name is Detective Conan)
Familiar?
 Last summer vacation, I went to Tottori. I went to the Sand dune, Shigeru Mizuki no machi (another anime spot) and hometown of detective conan.  This was the second visit to Tottori ( You can click on these link:Tottori flower park and Tottori-daisen, for my previous post about Tottori)
 To go there,  I got off at Yura station which also named as "Conan station"
It's excited to come here and feel the existence of Conan kun just beside you.
 On the way walking to the Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory (青山剛昌ふるさと館), you can see many bronze statue of Detective conan's members
 It was really a nice day.

Beautiful sky and beautiful himawari
That's the manga factory!
The car which often involved in cases, Agasa's Volkswagen beetle. This reminds me of the red Volkswagen beetle that my father owned back in 90's.

These are some photos submitted by people who joined the photo contest before.
Haha, in the souvenir shop I found the toilet paper printed with Conan and his friends.
Here you can see the raw drawings from the author hanging on the wall.
What I can said about this place is, it is really an ordinary small town, not bustling with people. It's relaxing as you walk along the road.
 Is that the reason, small town can breed people with great creativity?
If you're Conan's fan, it is worth to pay visit here, may be not special for those who are not Conan's fan.
Walked back to the station, time to say goodbye
