The Japanese National Quidditch Stadium was a Quidditch stadium located in Himeji, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, surrounded by flowering almond trees and by Himeji Castle.[1]
Description[]
The Japanese Stadium was built in the shadow of an immense Sengoku-era castle, and was surrounded by pink cherry blossom, the sakura trees, magically kept blooming year-round. It has several huge pagoda-style towers above the regular stand with the colours of green, gold and red, in which spectators could get a spectacular aerial view.[1]
Instead of a normal Quidditch pitch, the matches were held over a massive koi pond, which was bisected by an elegantly carved wooden bridge. The goals themselves were made in the style of the Japanese gates, the torii.[1]
