Food, Friendship, Aging Well

Fresh food.
Local people.
Shared meals.

The deeper I travel into Japan’s longevity hotspots, the more I suspect healthy aging is not just about what people eat—but who they eat with.

This Field Note was filmed at a small local restaurant deep in the jungle near the island community where I currently live and continue researching aging, place, and community in Japan.

About me:
I’m Lowell Sheppard, 71, sailor, author, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. I’m the Founder of the Never Too Late Academy and Special Advisor to the International Forum. Through Japan Solo Field Notes, I explore longevity, community, and what it means to live well at every stage of life.
