Why I’m questioning Okinawa’s longevity / Top Ten or Bottom Three? #japan

Leg One of my True Longevity Index™ journey ends in Okinawa.

I came looking at what Okinawa still does well: moai, social connection and the Art of Community.

Then, as I was leaving, I looked down.

Cars. Traffic. One monorail.

Here’s the paradox: people in crowded Tokyo walk more than people in subtropical Okinawa.

Sometimes a longevity clue is right in front of you.

Okinawa — Top Ten or Bottom Three?

Place your guess in the comments. Read more about my journeys, guided by the True Longevity Index. Leg one was by ferry through the Ryukyu Islands, spending time in Kagoshima and Okinawa. Leg 2 starts now. Shizuoka and Beyond. Watch this space.
