About this activity

Ogimi Village is known as one of the world’s famous “Blue Zones,” where many healthy and long-living people reside. It is believed that local food culture, daily habits, and strong community connections all contribute to longevity here. On this tour, you will experience these secrets of long life more deeply.

Your driver and guide will pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable private vehicle. During the tour, you will visit a local “Kyodo Baiten” community store, where residents gather, offering a glimpse into everyday life and warm local interactions.

Lunch will be served at Emi no Mise, a restaurant well known for its longevity-inspired cuisine. (The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, so an alternative restaurant will be arranged on those days.)
