Assuming the Gensokyo exchange rate hasn't changed since pre-WW2, 334 yen would be a crapton of cash. Otherwise, 3 bucks is cheap for Arson!Futo.
The yen was 1:1 with the US Dollar in 1871, but had devalued to 2 yen per 1 USD by 1897. If we go by the exchange rate from 1884/5 but don't adjust for 130 years' worth of inflation, then Futo's bounty would be a little more than $167 but less than $334. And assuming roughly steady deflation during those 26 years, Futo's bounty would be worth about $220.
In any case, I'm sure Reimu would agree that that bounty is a crapton of cash.

Also, is Futo not wearing any...?
But we should go by the currency that they had in feudal japan possibly earlier than the 1600s and so going by that it would be how much rice can be bought with that amount.
