Sakura's House
Sakura's house is a beautiful semi-detached, yellow house where Sakura lives with her brother, Touya and her father, Fujitaka. Sakura also encounters and captures some Clow Cards such as Wood, Rain, and Little Cards in her house.

Sakura's Basement
Sakura first discovered the Clow cards in her basement after hearing a mysterious noise and goes to investigate it. The basement is a library of books that Fujitaka, Sakura's father, keeps for his research and amongst these books, hides the Clow Book, which Sakura opened by accident, unknowingly releasing the Clow Cards and causing them to spread all over Tomoeda.

Sakura's Bedroom
Sakura's bedroom is her humble abode and contains a wardrobe, a desk, a TV and a bed as well as plenty of plush toys. After episode 15, Kero is given a little bedroom in the bottom draw of Sakura's desk. She also hides the Clow book in the top draw of her desk. And she's always keeping it clean.

Sakura's Lounge
Sakura's lounge has a large sofa, a table and a TV. Whilst cleaning the house, Sakura once found a Clow card underneath the carpet in this room. Sakura almost confessed to Syaoran in the lounge but was rudely interrupted by Kero.

Sakura's Kitchen/Dining Room
The Kitchen is featured in many episodes when Sakura is either cooking or learning how to cook. The dining room has one table and a side cabinet where there is a picture of her mother, Nadeshiko which is changed every single day.

King Penguin Park
Tomoeda Aquarium is home to various species of fish, penguins and various aquatic species. It also has a little café and there is a cylindrical aquarium. Sakura had her first date with Yukito at the aquarium, where she encounters the Watery Card, and plots to capture it the next night.

Tomoeda Elementary School
Tomoeda Elementary School (友枝小学校) is the school that Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran, Meiling, Rika, Naoko, Chiharu, Eriol and Yamazaki all attend. The students and everyone else in Tomoeda rely on the huge clock tower at the core of the school for the time. The school also hosts plays at the end of the year. Sakura faces several of the Clow Cards at the school, as many of them follow her presence. Two of which most memorable here, are the Time Card and Shadow Card. Other captures she has made here are: the Thunder Card, the Flower Card, the Song Card, the Shot Card, the Sweet Card, the Sand Card, and the Light and Dark Cards.

Tomoeda Art Gallery
Tomoeda Art Gallery hosts many important paintings and sculptures and is visited by Sakura's class for an art lesson. It is in this art galley that Sakura discovers and captures the Silent Card.

Tomoeda Library
Tomoeda Library is a vast library containing thousands of books. It has loads of cubicles where people can read or do some research. The library is where Sakura and Syaoran encounter and capture the Move Card.

Tomoeda Theme Park
Tomoeda Theme Park is home to various attractions such as a mirror maze, a Ferris wheel and a roller coaster. Located at the centre of the park is a large clock tower and Eriol's house was destroyed in order to make way for the theme park. The theme park only features in the second film and it is home to the Nothing Card. It should be noted, that Tomoeda Theme Park looks very similar to the Winter Carnival amusement park featured at the end of the first season, where Sakura encounters and captures the Firey Card.

Tomoyo's house
Tomoyo's / Madison's house is a vast mansion where Tomoyo and her mother, Sonomi / Samantha, live. Tomoyo even has her own video editing room and she designs all of Sakura's costumes in her bedroom. This is also were Sakura encounters the Shield Card and where she uses the Song Card to lure out the Voice Card, capturing both of them in Tomoyo's / Madison's bedroom.

Tsukimine Shrine
Tsukimine Shrine is a Shinto Shrine where many Clow cards have appeared such as The Maze & The Return. This shrine is where Sakura and her friends visit for celebrations. Tsukimine Shrine is really nice romantic place and there are plenty of quiet and peaceful places.

Tokyo Tower
Tokyo tower is shown in some of Sakura's dreams and she eventually fights Yue on Tokyo Tower in order to become the mistress of the Clow Cards. Sakura also visits the tower on an outing with Syaoran, Meiling and Tomoyo. In episode 40, Sakura captures the Dream Card in the lobby of the tower, upon learning that the card had been giving her prophetic dreams since the time she opened the book at the beginning of the anime. Nearing the end of season 2, when Sakura and friends go back to Tokyo and the tower's park area for the archery competition, it is there she meets and must capture the last of the Clow Cards, the Earthy Card when it causes an earthquake to strike Tokyo. It is then the Final Judgement soon begins afterward.
