The Scarlet Bullet Pilgrimage Guide

“Detective Conan: The Scarlet Bullet” is a film set against the backdrop of a major international sporting event, depicting a mystery revolving around a superconducting maglev train equipped with cutting-edge technology. The glamour of the international event combines with the futuristic feel of state-of-the-art transportation infrastructure, resulting in one of the most ambitious entries in the series. The appearances of Shuichi Akai and the Akai family are also highlights, making this a film that excels not only in solving the mystery but also in its rich character development. It is a popular modern theatrical film that seamlessly blends the excitement of the venue, the cutting-edge design of the stations and trains, and the sense of speed during travel.

The highlights are divided between central Nagoya, Centrair, the Nagoya Port area, and Takanawa in Tokyo. Viewing them on a map makes the distance between the Nagoya and Tokyo sides easier to understand.

The route brings together the travel mood around Nagoya Station, historic views near Nagoya Castle, a large port bridge, and the atmosphere of departure at the airport. The Tokyo-side stop is best considered separately.
