Quarter of Silence Pilgrimage Guide

“Detective Conan: Quarter of Silence” is a film in which the story shifts from the heart of the city to a snow-covered mountainous region following a bombing incident. The urban tension of the first half contrasts vividly with the tranquility of the snow-isolated village and the area around the dam in the second half, making the change of setting a major highlight in itself. The frigid natural environment further heightens the suspense, and the intensity of the avalanches and rescue scenes is unique to this film. As the setting shifts from the city to a snowy region, the scale of the incident and the emotional weight of the story deepen, making this a feature film with a strong impression of winter scenery.

The highlights are Kurobe Dam and Tanimachi Junction. Viewing them on the map makes it easier to understand the distance between an urban road setting and a mountain area.

The mountain scenery of Kurobe Dam and the urban road setting of Tanimachi Junction form a contrast, suggesting the flow from the opening incident toward the dam.
