/jp/ - Otaku Culture

So the village is out because they probably have established families and everyone knows one another. It's possible to integrate, but there would always be a cultural divide since you weren't born there.
The religious institutions could be ruled out since they seem to function more like clubs for their residents and you'd never really be part of the "in group" although this could just be a result of Touhou being so character driven. Same goes for most of the deities you could worship, like Moriya, but maybe you could snuggle up to them in solidarity to also being from the outside or find another local deity who's chill and needs attendants.
Underground Youkai are super territorial and adapting to their lawlessness would be difficult
Youkai Mountain's strict ruleset is arguably more territorial and more difficult to adapt to
You're not gonna make it in the Netherworld without dying in some form.
Same for New Hell. Joining up with one of the gangs might be awful, but you'd probably have an easy time assimilating once your in.
Eintei is two cliques, the rabbits and the lunarians. If you can cuddle up to one you'll be okay, but you'd need Tewi's or Kaguya's approval, the later is legendarily hard to get and the former might just be a trick.
The SDM is like Eintei, in that you just need Remilia to approve of you, but you'd probably still feel alienated among fairies, hobgoblins, and devils, so you'd have to stand alone.
Everyone in the forest of Magic has some sort of mental illness and, in my experience, two people sharing a brain deficiency doesn't mean they'll get along.
The Grassroots network on the other hand, is spread across different weak Youkai throughout the land who can't survive on their own. As an outsider, you'd share in the situation of being an alien, but also not being powerful enough to assert your dominance. Before long you could become friendly with AT LEAST a few of them and the network would grow to accept you.

This is not to say I think it's impossible to become friendly and integrate with the other groups, but the Grassroots Network would be the easiest by far and would accept you the quickest.
