Not much is officially known about Mayohiga(マヨヒガ), just that lost wanderers seem to end up there relatively often, and that Chen was there during the events of Perfect Cherry Blossom.

Speculation

Mayohiga might be the home of Yukari Yakumo and is actually located on the Gensokyo boundary, similar to the Hakurei Shrine. However, while the Hakurei Shrine is physically there on both sides of the boundary, Mayohiga acts as the rest of the boundary separating Gensokyo from the real world. Travellers who journey near the boundary will start to become disoriented and lost, and if they persist onward will find themselves spirited away to the almost dreamlike village of Mayohiga.
