This is a list of real life buildings, places and other surroundings [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") used as reference models for the [settings](/wiki/Setting "Setting") appearing in *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")*.
There will be mentions of the different (real) [wards (-ku)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wards_of_Japan "wikipedia:Wards of Japan") of [Tokyo](/wiki/Tokyo "Tokyo") and the [towns (-chō)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_towns_in_Japan "wikipedia:List of towns in Japan") they are composed of respectively a lot, which can get quite complicated and confusing if you are not knowledgable about the geography of Tokyo and how this city is administrated. Below you can see a very good map from [TokyoMap.com](http://tokyomap.com/index.php), giving you a quick and simple rundown of the structure of its wards.
The Wards of Tokyo.

### Yaiba Appears (Yaiba Manga: (/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_1#Yaiba_Appears "Yaiba Volume 1"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_models_(Yaiba)&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Yaiba Appears (Yaiba Manga: 1)")]
The unnamed jungle [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") and his father live in seems to be (intentionally) highly ambigious about what jungle or even on which continent it could remotely be. Besides the rather generous surroundings, animals like Gorillas (from Sub-Saharan Africa), Tigers (having their habitat in continental Asia) and Jaguars (who usually live in Central and South America) seem to have their habitat there.
The airport Yaiba, his father [Kenjuro Kurogane](/wiki/Kenjuro_Kurogane "Kenjuro Kurogane") and their pet tiger Kategora arrive at is the real [Narita International Airport](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narita_International_Airport "wikipedia:Narita International Airport") on the border between the towns of [Narita](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narita,_Chiba "wikipedia:Narita, Chiba") and [Shibayama](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibayama,_Chiba "wikipedia:Shibayama, Chiba") in the [Chiba Prefecture](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiba_Prefecture "wikipedia:Chiba Prefecture"), which is part of the [Greater Tokyo Area](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Tokyo_Area "wikipedia:Greater Tokyo Area"). It was the biggest and most important airport serving Tokyo back then, before it was replaced in this function by [Haneda Airport](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haneda_Airport "wikipedia:Haneda Airport"). They would also have to arrive in what is [Terminal 1](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narita_International_Airport#Terminal_1 "wikipedia:Narita International Airport") nowadays, since Terminal 2 and 3 opened in 1992 and 2015 respectively, long after the release of this chapter.

### Now to Tengu Peak (Yaiba Manga: (/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_2#Now_to_Tengu_Peak "Yaiba Volume 2")+)[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_models_(Yaiba)&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Now to Tengu Peak (Yaiba Manga: 13+)")]
[Mount Tengu](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Tengu "wikipedia:Mount Tengu") from Chapter 13-24 ([Yaiba Volume 2](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_2 "Yaiba Volume 2"), Chapter 4-[Yaiba Volume 3](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_3 "Yaiba Volume 3"), Chapter 5) Yaiba Kurogane, Kagetora and Shonosuke are abducting [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") to and on which Miyamoto Musashi has been living for the last couple of centuries is a real mountain on the border of the cities [Chino](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chino,_Nagano "wikipedia:Chino, Nagano") and [Koumi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koumi,_Nagano "wikipedia:Koumi, Nagano") in Nagano Prefecture.

### Eight Demons Resurrected (Yaiba Manga: (/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_2#Eight_Demons_Resurrected "Yaiba Volume 2"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_models_(Yaiba)&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Eight Demons Resurrected (Yaiba Manga: 15)")]
Takeshi Onimaru is awakening the Eight Demons in a cave at Mount Fuji, which is a real volcano on the boundary between the Prefectures of [Shizuoka](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shizuoka_Prefecture "wikipedia:Shizuoka Prefecture") and [Yamanashi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamanashi_Prefecture "wikipedia:Yamanashi Prefecture") and within sight of Tokyo.

### Yaiba in Danger (Yaiba Manga: (/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_2#Yaiba_in_Danger "Yaiba Volume 2"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_models_(Yaiba)&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Yaiba in Danger (Yaiba Manga: 17)")]
Takeshi Onimaru forces his entry into the [Kokkai-gijidō](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Diet_Building "wikipedia:National Diet Building"), also known as the National Diet Building of Japan in [Nagata Town](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagata-ch%C5%8D "wikipedia:Nagata-chō") in the Chiyoda Ward of Tokyo to take over the government of the country and remodel the building in his image of a demon castle, which he uses throughout Chapter 17-61 (Yaiba Volume 2, Chapter 8-[Yaiba Volume 7](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_7 "Yaiba Volume 7"), Chapter 2). This technically makes Onimaru's castle a real building, as this, it's one of the best places to pinpoint the location of the fictional [Yaoya](/wiki/Yaoya "Yaoya") District and the mansion of the Mine family, since it's pretty close to the castle.

### Musashi vs. Kojiro (Yaiba Manga: (/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_5#Musashi_vs._Kojiro "Yaiba Volume 5"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_models_(Yaiba)&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Musashi vs. Kojiro (Yaiba Manga: 40)")]
[Kokura Station](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokura_Station "wikipedia:Kokura Station"), at which Yaiba Kurogane, Sayaka Mine, and their friends try to escape from Kojiro Sasaki to Tokyo, is a real train station in the [Asano District](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/浅野_(北九州市))(jp) of [Kokurakita Ward](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokurakita-ku,_Kitaky%C5%ABsh%C5%AB "wikipedia:Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyūshū") in the City of [Kitakyushu](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitakyushu "wikipedia:Kitakyushu"), situated in the [Fukuoka Prefecture](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukuoka_Prefecture "wikipedia:Fukuoka Prefecture").

### Who is Japan's No. 1 (Yaiba Manga: (/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_5#Who_is_Japan.27s_No._1 "Yaiba Volume 5"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_models_(Yaiba)&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Who is Japan's No. 1 (Yaiba Manga: 42)")]
Sayaka Mine, [Kagetora](/wiki/Kagetora "Kagetora"), [Gerozaemon Geroda](/wiki/Gerozaemon_Geroda "Gerozaemon Geroda"), and [Namako-Otoko](/wiki/Namako-Otoko "Namako-Otoko") arrive in Tokyo at the Marunouichi Building of Tokyo Station (pre-renovation status), which is also named as such. Its location is the [Marunouichi District](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marunouchi "wikipedia:Marunouchi") in the Chiyoda Ward. They disguise themselves and instantly go to the Mine residence by foot afterwards, implying that Sayaka's home is relatively close to Marunouichi - another hint that Yaoya Town is around Chiyoda.

### Beating Revival (Yaiba Manga: (/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_21#Beating_Revival "Yaiba Volume 21"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_models_(Yaiba)&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Beating Revival (Yaiba Manga: 216)")]
The twin tower building in central Tokyo that Takeshi Onimaru is about to destroy is the [Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metropolitan_Government_Building "wikipedia:Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building") in the [Nishi-Shinjuku District](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nishi-Shinjuku "wikipedia:Nishi-Shinjuku") of Shinjuku Ward.

### The Girl's Identity (Yaiba Manga: (/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_23#The_Girl.27s_Identity "Yaiba Volume 23")+)[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_models_(Yaiba)&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: The Girl's Identity (Yaiba Manga: 238+)")]
The luxurious home of the [Kurogane family](/wiki/Kurogane_family "Kurogane family") (or to be more specific, the house of Yaiba's sister Moroha and their mother Michiko) is modeled after the [Palais du Luxembourg](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxembourg_Palace "wikipedia:Luxembourg Palace"), in real life to be found at [Rue de Vaugirard 15](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_de_Vaugirard "wikipedia:Rue de Vaugirard") in the [6th arrondissement](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6th_arrondissement_of_Paris "wikipedia:6th arrondissement of Paris") of Paris.
