Kyoto Jidai Arcane University
Kyoto Jidai is the first and most prestigious university of its kind, and the only university in Western Japan which specifically recruits Yokai as students. We focus not only on the long-held traditions of ki usage but also on pushing the envelope of utilizing it with the latest technologies.
If you're interested in honing your arcane magic skills and staying in beautiful, historic Kyoto, apply today!
Admissions
We recruit only the most talented of yokai mages and we know you want to join us. At KyouJi, the STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and Magic) education is top notch. You can pick from ten arcane majors, including Technology in Modern Magic. We have minors in engineering and computer science and have a 97% placement rate in the mortal and yokai job categories and well above average starting salaries.Academics
The student to professor ratio is small, so that you get the in-person education and training you need. You'll work hands on, see actual artifacts no mortals have viewed, and talk to yokai who were there before the world had writing systems. And no other school can teach you to use modern tech with your ki use!Campus Life
Live well hidden in the gorgeous historic Gion district. (KyouJi was the force behind the ban on photography in the area, so you can have your privacy.) We have dorms with all the modern conveniences and extra layers of security wards over the entire school so you can just be yourself on campus. No need to hide as a human here!Research and Innovation
KyouJi is the school that consistently wins the top research grants in the country. We show the world that yokai can adapt and be not only competitive with the surrounding humans, but exceed and lead them like we did in the past. Every student here researches on groundbreaking projects that will help not only this generation, but generations to come.A Proud History
The origins of KyouJi are far older than the recorded date of our establishment with the mortal government. We've trained the best mages in the world, dating all the way back to Abe no Seimei.Student Testimonials
I finally found peace! No more people chasing after me like they did in the Pacific Northwest of the US. And I got to learn magic and a foreign language too! Kyoto Jidai Arcane U is rad!

Okay, you had me at "KyouJi" and then I loved that Bigfoot had enrolled (foreign exchange youkai!), but then Abe no Seimei was an alumnus and I died. XD
Lol! Thank you! Glad there are those fun references for fellow Japan geeks. :D
