Wasn't Fuyuki the location only because it was far from the Church's witch hunt and the local mages didn't object to it being used? The Grail War itself obviously has its roots in Western magic, so the majority of mages participating being users of Western magic is hardly a surprise, the chosen heroic spirits included. But yeah, it does seem like Type-Moon is presenting much of the magic in their universe quite Western.
