Deadman's Questions
The ghost of a mansion. Its full address is 25-4 Katahira, Morioh District, S City, and was supposedly the home of a now-deceased soldier. It became a ghost after its destruction by a bomber during World War II 50 years ago. The ghost mansion is hidden between two buildings and appears to be flattened. It is equipped with ghost furniture and other domestic objects that make it nearly perfect as a home for a Ghost. However, it is also the nest of Spirit Cleansers that prey on ghosts. There were supposedly 56 cases of suicides and mysterious death happening near it. The ghost of Yoshikage Kira is sent there to investigate those deaths and he narrowly escapes the house.

The Louvre (ルーヴル, Rūvuru) is a famous French museum situated in Paris and containing works of art from all periods and origins. The museum has no less than 350,000 works of art, available or not to the visitors. At one point, it contains the cursed painting "Under The Moon." According to Gaucher Bigotte, the museum originates from a 13th-century building and became a museum in 1793, a few years before Napoleon Bonaparte became emperor. When Rohan visits the Louvre to see Under the Moon, he learns that it has been left in the abandoned Z-13 storage room of the museum, which used to contain works of art before being emptied due to the Seine river threatening to flood the area. Rohan, Gaucher, a translator named Noguchi, and two firemen venture into Z-13 and discover the painting, but only Rohan survives the encounter.

A shrine belonging to Mutsu-kabe Shrine Priests whose ancestors protected a 800-year-old Japanese yew tree, known as a "Sacred Tree". The tree contains an entrance blocked by a stone to a cavity that formed 500 years ago which contains a mirror where Yabubako-Hoshi lives. If someone and/or their Stand get caught in the mirror's reflection, then they get replaced by it for 3 months. In order to undo Yabubako-Hoshi's actions, a person needs to flip the mirror 360 degrees to the left without getting caught. It can also be undone by letting someone else flip the mirror, which makes them the new victim.[4]

Jugo Shishi's office. Like any mangaka's office, there is a drawing desk, a regular desk and bookshelves full of books for references. It also has a small table, a small couch and chair and a refrigerator. It is noticeably messier than Rohan's own office, but its state worsens after Jugo Shishi becomes obsessed with the word "kushagara," becoming filled with books and loose sheets of paper.
Mai Katahira's house in the TV Drama. It is a modern, well lit and well ordered house, with an emphasis on open spaces and ambient lights. One highlight of the house is the plush tent that Mai's daughter, Mao, has built and in which she stays inside nearly all the time.
