Welcome to Okinawa | The Island Where People Don't Die

We explored Okinawa, a tropical chain of islands southwest of mainland Japan, visiting beaches, farms, tea shops, and local homes in Naha and beyond. We met elderly residents, including a centenarian, and learned how their diets, daily activity, karate practice, and close-knit communities contribute to long and healthy lives. We also experienced Okinawan food, tea, awamori, gateball, and the island’s history and laid-back way of life.
