Want to visit some of the famous Tokyo Ghoul locations? Here’s a list of 11 places you can easily go to. Enjoy!
1. Kamii University /Rikkyo University (Nerima)
This university has had many central characters attend it. Not only the main protagonist Ken Kaneki who studied Japanese Literature at Kamii, but also his best friend, Hideyoshi Nagachika. Hideyoshi was studying Foreign Language Studies and majoring in English at the Department of International Studies.
As you can see Rikkyo University is obviously the model for Kamii University. The university was established in 1874 and is probably the most European-looking university in Japan.
Japanese police fired only six shots in 2015. Find out why!
2. Anteiku 20th Ward / Nerima
Anteiku is a small neighborhood café 20th ward. But is it only a café? In fact, it’s a cover for a ghoul organization.
Anteiku café is based on a café in Toshima called Museum Cafe & Diner. Unfortunately, it’s closed now. A fun fact: Museum Cafe & Diner is only a three-minute walk from Rikkyo University, which is, of course, the Kamii University.
3. The 3rd Ward / Minato
The 3rd Ward is based on Minato. Here you’ll see a short scene with a young Rize and a young Kaneki on their first date. The setting is Christmas.
This photo was taken in Roppongi (in with the Tokyo Tower in the background. It’s not identical, but I think it’s pretty clear it’s based on the same location.
4. The Alleyway in 4th Ward / Shinjuku
This is the Alleyway from the 4th Ward.
The 4th Ward is based on Shinjuku. And what you see here is a typical alleyway in the Shinjuku Ward.

The 13th Ward is such an important Ward in Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul:re. It’s the home of CCG 13th Ward’s Branch Office and Seishin High School.
The 13th Ward is based on Shibuya. Here you see a photo from the Shibuya Crossing. Speaking of Shibuya.
6. 1st Ward / Chiyoda
1st Ward is of the most important Wards and the home of the CCG Main Office, The Chateau, and CCG Laboratory Division. Obviously a CCG stronghold with very little ghoul presence.
The 1st Ward is based on Chiyoda. This is a photo of the Tokyo Station in Chiyoda.
7. Ghoul Restaurant 7th Ward / Sumida
The Ghoul Restaurant is… err (SPOILER!) WAS central before Ken Kaneki took it down. It was in 7th Ward which is based on Sumida.
