>If youkai are so powerful, then why do they run from Humans and hide in Gensokyo? It seems they're not very smart either.

I know you're trolling, but the reason is simple: Youkai don't want to kill humans. The current, most widely accepted "moral approach" among Youkai is that it is wrong for Youkai to take any course of action which results in a head-on collision with the human species, because it will end badly for both sides. If they wanted to, and organized to do so, the Youkai could probably wipe out humanity. But they don't, because they believe it's simply wrong.

There have been great conflicts among Youkai in the past on this topic, especially around the time of the founding of Gensokyo. The ones who founded Gensokyo are the ones who decided that peace was more important than victory.

Now, to be fair, a lot of Youkai probably go along with this because they're absolutely fine with living in Gensokyo and are happy to live away from humanity's excesses.
