The main hall of 'Koanji Temple'—the prime target of the 11.2-billion-yen scam in the series—was filmed here at Tozenji Temple in Takanawa. A historic Zen temple that once served as Japan's first British Legation in the late Edo period, this is the central landmark of the pilgrimage.

The sprawling plot of land adjacent to 'Koanji Temple' was actually filmed in the parking lot of Keigenji Temple in Kitami, Setagaya, with the Takanawa skyline digitally composited over it. A historic Setagaya temple was the secret behind creating the drama's '10-billion-yen property.'

A luxury hotel in Sekiguchi, Bunkyo where the swindlers hold multiple business meetings and negotiations. The on-site cafe (Cafe Foret) and the renowned historic garden became backdrops for their intense psychological battles.

A cafe in Kanda-Nishikicho used in the scene where one of the swindlers stakes out their target. It's fascinating to see an everyday casual cafe turn into the staging ground for a massive real estate heist.

The boardroom scenes for the fictional real estate firm 'ABIRU Holdings' were filmed right here at the corporate headquarters of Geniee, Inc. (who officially announced their filming collaboration), located inside a Shinjuku high-rise.

The luxury hotel where Takumi tails and monitors a person connected to the target. Overlooking the city from high above Nakanoshima, it serves as the stage when the story expands to Osaka.

The real-life inspiration for the novel and series is the infamous 2017 Sekisui House land scam. Con artists impersonated the owner of Kaikikan, an old inn in Nishi-Gotanda, to swindle roughly 5.5 billion yen (the site is now private property). A fascinating final stop to see where the true crime story actually happened.
