Why I Set Out to Explore Japan’s Longevity Hotspots
Why do some people remain healthy, active, and independent well into their eighties and nineties, while others experience years of decline? That question sent me on a two-year journey across Japan. Using prefectural health and longevity data as my compass, I set out to visit communities where heal...
Pacific Solo is Over!
Pacific Solo is gone. Long live Japan Solo! After seven years and nearly 400 videos, Pacific Solo comes to an end. What began as a journey by boat became something much broader — about challenge, community, fear, and learning. Thank you to everyone who followed along, supported the channel, Paci...
Are These Japan’s Last Superagers? #Japan #Longevity #Aging
After nearly two years researching and writing Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan, I thought I’d be ready to let it go. But this book isn’t letting me go. One question keeps coming back. Early in my journey, my mentor and colleague in the International Academic Forum, Dr James M...
Life After 70, My Boat and I #travel #turning70 #japan
In 2025, I set out to follow the cherry blossoms the length of Japan by boat. What unfolded instead was a slower journey through Japan’s longevity hotspots, rural communities, and places where people live long, steady, independent lives. A look back at turning seventy, changing course, and learning...
Shimane: The Japanese Prefecture Where Community Breeds Longevity #japan #matsue #longevity
Matsue, capital of Shimane, Japan’s #1 prefecture for centenarians per 100,000 people, continues to reveal its secret to long, healthy life. Yesterday, a businessman told me the answer in one breath: “Stress-free… because we are a good community.” This morning, before I boarded a train, I return...
Izumo: The Beach Where Gods Land #japan #spiritualhotspot #writerslife
Hello from Shimane Prefecture, near Izumo Taisha — one of Japan’s oldest and most sacred shrines. This is said to be the beach where the gods land. Twenty-five years ago, I cycled the length of Japan in what my publisher called “a spiritual journey through Japan.” Along the way, I prayed Celtic pray...
Shinshu Salmon with Beverly Hills Ninja #JapanJourney #FreshwaterSalmon #BlueZoneBook
Here in the mountains, far from the ocean, they’ve bred a special freshwater salmon — a cross between rainbow trout and brown trout, that can’t reproduce. A delicious reminder that not everything lasting needs to multiply to make an impact. My friend and literary agent Koji, once a Hollywood ninja,...
Longevity Casts a Long Shadow #Longevity #BlueZones #HealthyAging #Resilience #Japan
I left the boat behind in Amami and took the big boat to Okinawa ( read Ferry) and it is day 6 of my second journey this year to Japan`s Longevity Hot Spots. I am in Okinawa asking the question of what went wrong. Why is it not a Blue Zone anymore. Among the conversations I have had since I arriv...

New Meditative Video Coming soon Lowell here from Pacific Solo and the Never Too Late Academy. I’m back on the mainland, diving deeper into longevity research across Japan—building on Blue Zones and Ikigai.

This Island Has Japan’s Longest-Living People! #japan #longevity #sailing #bluezone
I’m on Ama Island, in Shimane Prefecture—Japan’s true Blue Zone and the country’s top hotspot for longevity. Why? Because this prefecture has more centenarians per capita than anywhere else in Japan. That’s right—100+ and still going strong. I came here thanks to fellow sailors and Never Too Late ...
