The exterior model for the Seven Stars Hotel, the venue of the Hokuto Cup (the Japan-China-Korea youth team tournament run by Hokuto Tsushin), is the Regal Royal Hotel in Osaka. However, when Hikaru arrives at the hotel on the day of the match, the indoor scene he enters is the Hotel Nikko Tokyo (though the front desk area appears different). Although we cannot confirm whether the lounge, lobby, game room, and demonstration room that Section Chief Togari and Mr. Aikawa discussed in advance with hotel staff also belong to Hotel Nikko, it is certain that the guest room and corridor scenes in the story were filmed at Hotel Nikko. However, when Hotel Nikko reached its 10th anniversary in 2006, it underwent a large-scale renovation and reopened in July 2008. Although the hotel's signature curved structure was preserved, the interior decor and furnishings may have changed. Model for the interior of the Hokuto Cup venue. However, from 2006, the tenth anniversary of opening, the entire building underwent large-scale renovation and repair, and it reopened in July 2008. 1-9-1 Odaiba, Minato-ku. Details
