The Former Capital (旧都 Kyuuto) is a large village in Former Hell seen in Stage 3 of Subterranean Animism, part of the Underworld. It is situated between the bridge to Former Hell, guarded by Parsee Mizuhashi, and the Palace of the Earth Spirits, where the sisters Satori Komeiji and Koishi Komeiji live.

The buildings appear to be modelled after traditional Japanese houses, and the streets appear to be lit with fiery hanging lanterns. Although the city is built underground, it is still able to receive snowfall.

The Former Capital is populated primarily by oni, who moved underground long ago as part of a deal with the yamas. After promising to keep a lid on the evil spirits that remained there after the yamas relocated Hell, the oni were given permission to stay there. As such, many oni, such as Yuugi Hoshiguma, can easily be found partying in the streets here. Suika Ibuki most likely lived here before moving to Gensokyo.

Aside from the oni, many other subterranean youkai can probably be found here on occasions, as Yamame Kurodani mentions that the city doesn't turn away visitors.
