I’ve just left the remote island village of 29 people in southern Japan, where my boat is moored, and arrived in Tokyo for a conference on aging and gerontology with IAFOR ( The International Academic Forum) Before that, I’m walking across the city to meet my Tokyo “MOAI”—a small, regular community that stays connected both in person and digitally. It’s a reminder of something I’m seeing again and again across Japan’s longevity hotspots: Community isn’t one thing. It’s many. And perhaps that’s part of the art of living long and well. Lowell Sheppard is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Founder of the Never Too Academy, Special Advisor with IAFOR ( International Academic Forum), and author of ten books. Through Japan Solo, he shares field notes on longevity, community, and independent living across Japan. His forthcoming book, Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan, explores how community supports living long—and living well. #JapanSolo #Longevity #Community #HealthyAging #TokyoLife

Ever wondered why sailboat sails are almost always covered? The sun's rays drastically reduce the lifespan of sails…and they're not cheap! Here I am, anchored in a picturesque bay, making sure my sails are well cared for. Sail maintenance is crucial. We have to take care of our sailing gear at every opportunity. ⛵️🌊🏔️ #sailinglife

The wetlands restoration project is completed. Hopefully it will fill with water in the spring run-off. The wildlife will thrive here for decades to come. A great legacy. Sass and I are headed back to the boat on Monday or Tuesday now. We’re watching the weather and mountain pass highway conditions. Living on a sailboat content will resume shortly!
