An institute hidden high in a lofty mountain peak of the western Earth Kingdom, surrounded by natural growth. Its secluded location is no doubt the main reason as to how it has managed to become one of the very few remaining Earth Kingdom establishments in the area. The particular location of the institute is higly significant also because the climate it retains is ideal for growing a variety of herbs necessary to brew medicines. In addition, a greenhouse attached to it that holds an endless variety of plant life, including some of the rarest specimens in the world. The institute is well over a hundred years old and was once a thriving foundation which produced medicines that were sent all over the world. Now almost completely abandoned, the sole remaining inhabitants are an eccentric, eighty-year-old herbalist and her cat, Miyuki.
