Visit Ogimi Village, Okinawa: Half-Day Itinerary in Japan’s Blue Zone
Prioritizing health and wellness is a cornerstone of our lives, with a fitness goal of staying active well into our 80s and 90s. We draw immense inspiration from the blue zones—regions of the world where residents often live past 100 years, thanks to their healthy lifestyles. If you’re not familiar with blue zones, they are areas known for their exceptionally long-lived populations, including Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California. There was also recently a great Netflix series on this topic “Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zone.” During our visit to Okinawa, Japan, we couldn’t miss exploring the blue zone area of Ogimi Village. In this half-day itinerary guide, you’ll discover what to do, where to eat, where to stay, how to get there, and other tips for experiencing this remarkable blue zone.
