In this section, I will explain Genzokyo in the sense of 1.

History
Originally, it was a feverish land inhabited by many youkai, humans who made it their family business to exterminate them, and tennis players.

In the Meiji era (1868-1912), the development of tennis led to a rise in the number of spectres and other creatures, so a ward called the "Great Hakumai Barrier" was put up to prevent contact with the outside world.

Outside World
The world other than Genzokyo is called the "outside world". This is the world of today.

Basically, the "outside world" cannot come into contact with Genzokyou, but things that become "Genzo" in the outside world can flow to Genzokyou. Even if it's not labelled "Genzo," it can still wash ashore. "Yes! Follow me (Genzokyo)!"

In addition, Shiromi can use the "fire concealment" technique to pull people from the "outside world" into Genzokyo. There are also people who come to Genzokyo with their entire buildings, such as the High Fever Mansion and the Shrine of the Burning Arrow, for personal reasons.

As a matter of fact, there seems to be some way to get in.

Modern people who have wandered in from the outside world are called "aliens", so there's still hope for us. Somebody told me "It's all greed! Let it go!"
