Jofuku Herbal Center

This is a museum and botanical garden dedicated to the xu-fu legend in Saga prefecture in Japan, It is also known as the Xu Fu ( Saga city ) longevity museum

General description
2,200 years ago, Xu Fu traveled to Japan in search of the elixir of life for Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin dynasty, and there are many legends that arose from his journey. The setting for many of these legends is the city of Saga

Origin of the place name "Bubai" (Morodomi village, Saga city)

 * When Xu Fu's group reached the Ariake Sea, they decided to float a cup (Bu) in the water and go ashore where it touched land. As such, the place where the cup landed is known as "Bubai", which literally means "floating cup".

The legend of the single-leaf reed (Morodomi village, Saga city)

 * They reached the ground by pushing through the reeds and only pushed one side of the reeds, therefore all the reeds in this area have only had one leaf since then. Even today, only single-leaf reeds grow along the Teraitsu shore to support this legend.


 * In this city a xu-fu statue was built next to the Chikugo drawbridge, the same one seen in the Saga jihen MV

=== Wash hands well (Morodomi people, Saga city) ===
 * To use water, Xu Fu's party dug a well and washed their hands. This is known as the "handwashing well" and is still highly revered today. The place called "Tearai" (literally "hand washing") located in the Terai village of Morodomi, city of Saga, is believed to be named after this well.

The sacred juniper of the Nikita Shrine (Morodomi village, Saga city)

 * Xu-Fu planted a juniper as evidence that he had landed in Japan. This juniper is said to have grown strong and large, directly into the sky. Junipers normally grow in hot climates and there are practically no other cases of these trees in Japan. Not to mention, trees estimated to be around 2,200 years old like this are even rarer, making this tree mysteriously fall into the Xu Fu legend. This juniper still stands today as the sacred tree in the Nikita Shrine.

A thousand fabrics to the north (city of Saga)

 * Xu Fu started a journey to Mount Kinryu, which looked like Mount Penglai. However, the road was rough and difficult to walk. As a solution, he left clothes to make it easier to walk. When he arrived in the Chifu city of Kinryu, in the city of Saga, he had worn exactly 1000 clothes and this is how the place got its name from Chifu, or literally "A Thousand Cloths".

The love of Xu Fu and Otatsu (city of the saga)

 * Xu Fu fell in love with the woman who was serving as his guide, a daughter of Genzo named Otatsu. But Xu Fu's message of "I'll be back in 5 years" when he left Mt. Kinryu was mistakenly broadcast as "I'll be back in 50 years" and Otatsu is said to have drowned in sadness. The Otatsu Kannon statue at the Kinryu Shrine is a tribute to this tragic love story.

=== The elixir "Furofuki" (city of the saga) ===
 * Xu-Fu reached the top of the mountain. Kinryu, where he met Anqi sheng and obtained the elixir of immortal life. The name of this elixir is Furofuki, and it still grows in Kinryu today. Incidentally, the name "Furofuki" is said to come from the word "Furofushi" which means "not to age, not to die" in Japanese.

Curiosities

 * There are remains of silk and human bones found in the Yoshinogari ruins that are deeply involved with China. These are also historical materials linking Xufu and the Yoshinogari ruins. Perhaps the people who accompanied Xufu settled in Yoshinogari and built a great kingdom.
 * Has an animated documentary made in Saga that serves as a guide for the museum
