Many places in Fuyuki are imbued with endless magical hues. Attended by the likes of Kirei Kotomine and Shirou Emiya, Fuyuki Church holds great magical significance and serves as a neutral ground for competing mages. Also, Ryuudou Temple, located on Mount Enzou, with its unique spiritual aura, is an important part of the mystical charm of the city.

History

Recognized worldwide as the central location of the TYPE-MOON universe, Fuyuki City is a small but mysterious city that has recently been put on the world map. Although not initially known for its clear historical timeline, the character of the city was shaped by the events and stories that unfolded, weaving together a rich tapestry of events steeped in magical history.
The enigma of the city lies in its division into two areas: newer buildings in the Shinto region, a picturesque area marked by the Myon River, and the very different town of Miyama, home to traditional residents. This dualism echoes throughout Fuyuki's story, reflecting the ongoing struggle between old and new, conventional and spiritual.
The city became famous when it was chosen as the site of the Holy Grail Wars. This ancient ritual summoned heroic spirits to battle for the great prize of the almighty Holy Grail. The Einzbern, Matou, and Tōsaka clans, respected wizarding families, played an important role.
The Matous were known to be extenders, extending their life spans through magic. Makiri later emigrated from Russia and adopted the new surname Matou. On the other hand, the Einzberns, originally from Germany, were famous for their thaumaturgical research, especially the Homunculus. The impact of the 4th war on the city cannot be ignored. This cataclysmic event not only wreaked havoc, but also heralded the birth of the Avenger, a henchman with unique abilities.
Unbeknownst to non-magical residents, the attraction of this city is the hidden valley lines, natural circuits of magical energy. The city is symbolically and literally a point of magical power that attracts the powerful wizards of the world.
After all, the history of Fuyuki City is one of secret wars, hidden truths, and unforgettable legends that testify to the indomitable spirit of this city that continues to shape its destiny.

Two main landscapes grace Fuyuki; one is a bustling cityscape perched on a coastal hill; and another, Shinto, a thriving commercial center of the city, enhanced by towering skyscrapers. They are separated by the wide river Mion, which is spanned by bridges connecting the two parts. The city encompasses a unique combination of modern urban life and traditional Japanese aesthetics. The many parks, shrines, and school complexes add a unique weight to Fuyuki's character.
Twisted spirit lines known as "focal points" run through the city of Fuyuki. A set of these points in different places form the basis of the anomaly, creating favorable conditions for summoning minions. The city is essentially intertwined with the Holy Grail Wars; the land is drenched in the blood and desires of lords and servants who have fought over the centuries.
The mountaintop Ryuudou Temple has such a hearth, making it the epicenter of spiritual activity. A long line of mystery-sensitive temple priests have overseen this phenomenon for centuries. Tohsaka Mansion, another site of supernatural activity, has a strong interest in the Grail Wars. This mansion is steeped in tradition and its many rooms hold the secrets and legacy of the mysterious Tohsaka line.
The events that have happened and transpired in Fuyuki have marked it as a city deeply intertwined with the fate of the Grail War participants, an arena for those who venture into the night in search of their deepest aspirations.
