I’ve had severe allergic reactions to bee stings—so when I heard fake dragonflies might ward them off, I ordered six off Amazon. They’re going up on my sailboat as a kind of quirky defense system. Should I name them? And… what eats dragonflies anyway? 🐝🛥️🐉 This little moment is part of life aboard as I travel Japan’s remote coastlines and explore what it means to live well and live long. From fear of bee stings to going beyond Blue Zones—it’s all part of the adventure. 🎥 Filmed aboard Wahine in one of Japan’s hidden harbors. 📚 Part of the Journey Beyond the Blue Zone series. Comment below if you’ve ever used natural (or unnatural) pest deterrents—or if you have great names for dragonfly bodyguards!

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
