Jofuku came to Japan with 3000 boys and girls, and in Shingu found Tendai Uyaku, an herb that he believed could grant immortal life. However, Jofuku was enchanted by Shingu's natural beauty and comfortable climate, and he and his followers settled down there, and taught the locals how to farm, fish, and whale.
Products made with Tendai Uyaku, like Jofuku Tea and natural soap, are also available at the gift shop.
