Far off the beaten track, this town on a Japanese island has started to get a few tourists.
The outsiders want to know why—and how—the town’s residents have some of the highest longevity rates on the planet.
Diet, genetics, and soical pratices help (above, a community sea festival). Experts believe lessons from grinding through hard times also play a part. The biggest factor may be frequent servings of fruit, vegetables, and heart-healthy fish. As a local saying goes, “Let food be your medicine.”
