Konohagakure :: Hidden Leaf

Hokage Residence

The Hokage Residence is a large mansion occupied by the Hokage during their reign, and is located close to both the Academy and large mountain that stands behind it. It is also the largest building in Konoha, towering over all other buildings. It houses the Hokage's office and several other administrative offices, including the Mission Assignment Office.

Academy

The Academy is a large building consisting of both a training center for Academy Students,  as well as an administrative side. The academy is quite large and is comprised of several buildings. The building can be identified by the giant sign that adorns the front, with the kanji for Fire (火) on it. Classrooms in the academy are large and have high ceilings, based on a theory that larger classrooms lead to expansive education, expanding even to the blackboard itself. In front of the blackboard is a podium, situated far from the students' desks and put in a position where the teacher can view everyone at once.

Training Grounds

Five training grounds used by Shinobi to better themselves. A metallic fence surrounds the perimeter of each training ground, with gates equally spaced around them. Shinobi enter through these gates. Since the five training grounds are situated next to each other, inside most of them runs a river, surrounded by forest. The forest's total radius is about fifty kilometres.

Downtown

The streets of Konohagakure are bustling. Shops and other businesses litter every inch of the town. A town square serves as a central meeting place for many travelers and villagers, as well as serving to mark the exact location of the center of town. From here, one could spot the Hokage Residence and clearly see the large mountain standing behind it.

Town Residences

This area of the village consists of most of the villager's homes. The houses are usually larger, town-homes stacked on top of one another. Clan compounds are located within this area as well, and are usually fenced-in communities that hold their houses and Clan meeting halls. The Shinobi dorms are located in this area as well.

Village Gates and Outskirts

The gates to the village are located here, along with the checkpoint that is used to check the bags and travel permissions of foreign travelers. Two Chuunin stand guard at the gate at all times. The outskirts of the village consists of various paths and walkways leading into the inner works, with benches lining the perimeter. There are a few residences out this way as well but this is mostly scenery.
