The Human Village has the largest human population in Gensokyo, but there are still shops in the village that youkai frequent. However, youkai generally do not cause any trouble here, so humans can take it easy.

Humans who work as youkai exterminators also live in the village, making it a safe place to spend your days. They are probably fairly strapped for cash though, since Reimu does most of the youkai exterminating in Gensokyo.

There is a delicate balance between humans and youkai. Youkai would find themselves troubled if fewer humans lived in Gensokyo, which is why youkai do not attack the Human Village.

Many stores in the Human Village stay open until late at night specifically for youkai customers. Shops that serve liquor are particularly popular.

If you ever run into a youkai in the Human Village, do not panic. They are just visiting the village like you are and mean no harm―or well, most of them don't. Probably. Just greet them and be on your way.
