Mahoutokoro is noted for its academic prowess and that can be attributed to its commitment to excellence and its accredited staff. Though the school sits atop an otherwise plain mountain, the beauty of ancient Japan and the wonder of modern living combine to provide students and staff with an idyllic setting for learning the intricate ways of magic.īut of course, there’s more to Mahoutokoro than just its campus and architecture. While some areas are off limits, it isn’t uncommon to see your fellow students mingling amongst the trees or crossing the cherrywood bridges that cross over serene ponds where local and magical flora and fauna provide a tranquil sort of calm. While many of the lessons are contained within the great halls and rooms of the main palace, the entire mountain of Minami Iwo Jima serves as the schoolyard. Cherry blossoms dot the landscape, and in winter the snow never seems to pile up but instead bathe the air in a soft pink veneer. The architecture pulls from buildings of old, with gilded walls that glimmer in the sun and a campus ground that always seems to remind students of the spring of youth or the serene beauty of winter depending on the season. Atop the highest point stands an ornate mutton-fat jade gate, to the outside and untrained eye the gate is nothing more than a charred remain of some ancient structure but behind the gate stands a building that would make the Imperial Palace blush.
Nowhere is this more apparent than the palacial main building itself. Much of the campus is rooted in the cultural traditions of the mainland but with a magical twist to them.
As a school for educating the next generation of witches and wizards, Mahoutokoro strives to produce students that develop a deep appreciation for magic as well as an understanding of culture and traditions of both the magical and non-magical variety. This ancient academy prides itself on its coursework, the student body and their dedication to the magical arts, and on its stellar Quidditch program. Mahoutokoro, one of the eleven great wizarding schools dotting the globe, might have the smallest student body but it also has the highest standards of excellence.

In some ways, it seems the location of the school would better fit as a tourist location, but it has stood here for longer than anyone can remember, and its a tradition now and the Japanese people take their traditions very seriously.įor now, if you want to see the cherry blossom trees, the shining palace, or even walk across the wide bridges, you’ll have to be a student here. Vast wooden bridges connect the palace to the other parts of the island, giving stunning views of the incredibly scenic island. Groves of cherry blossom trees surround the palace, enchanted to bloom far more often than their mainland counterparts. The palace is crafted mutton-fat jade, sections of it seem almost translucent, and the palace seems to always be glowing in the warmth of the sun. Hidden from the naked eye by different charms and clever uses of illusory magic, the Mahoutokoro School of Magic utilizes the entire island, and even some of its surrounding oceans for its various teachings.Ītop the highest point of the island, built to ‘pierce the heavens’ by its founders, is the Mahoutokoro palace. Minami Iwo Jima is home to the Mahoutokoro School of Magic, an ancient school dedicated to teaching students from the continent of Asia the art of witchcraft and wizardry. From the distance most non-magical people see it at, the island of Minami Iwo Jima is unremarkable, and isn’t worth traveling out through stormy, treacherous seas to explore.
