Private Eye in the Distant Sea Pilgrimage Guide

“Detective Conan: Private Eye in the Distant Sea” is a maritime suspense film set primarily aboard a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer, with the unique setting of the open sea lending a palpable sense of tension to the entire story. Scenes featuring shipboard facilities, decks, and port infrastructure—views rarely encountered in everyday life—unfold one after another, leaving a lasting impression with their grand scale, far removed from the ordinary. With plot developments leading to a national-level crisis, it is popular within the series as a serious, hard-hitting installment. It is a theatrical film with a strong sense of the extraordinary, allowing viewers to experience the sheer power of the sea and naval vessels.

The highlights are split between the Maizuru and Miyazu waterfront, Kyoto city, and Kansai International Airport. Viewing them on the map makes travel distances easier to understand.

The Maizuru Self-Defense Force facility, Miyazu capes and fishing port, a park in Kyoto city, and the airport together convey seaside tension and the breadth of the journey.
