Just as what MMM said, there is no correct way to spell it in English. It is just how you interpret the japanese word and spell it out in English as you see fit.
If you don't know japanese, it makes no difference to you whether it is spelled as Tokyo, Toukyou or Tōkyō. For as long as you understand them in your own way, then it is fine. After all, they all sound almost the same.
However, if you know japanese and you wrote 魔法 as まほ instead of まほう, then it is incorrect.
