Which Japanese Region is the Longest-Living?
It isn’t Okinawa. If you want to know the answer, keep reading.
Do you want to stay sick-free even when you are in your 80s and 90s? If you do, you may want to consider a Japanese method since Japan has mostly had the lowest mortality rate in the world for the last ten years. Average life expectancy in Japan reached record highs for both women and men in 2020, at 87.74 years and 81.64 years, respectively, according to a basic table released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on July 30, 2021.
If you remember, we had the worldwide coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
To learn the Japanese way, you need to have accurate information about Japan. Unfortunately, a lot of claims made about Japanese culture are misinterpreted or outdated. Okinawa being the longest-lived prefecture is one of them. In Japan, Okinawans are not necessarily regarded as people of longevity since it was back in the 1980s when Okinawa was ranked high in the prefectural ranking. Recently Nagano has ranked within the top three and gained the reputation of being the longest-lived prefecture, followed by Shiga.
Ikigai is another one. It is nothing to do with the popular Venn diagram. It isn’t a framework in Japan.
In this book, you will discover:
•The secret of Japanese centenarians in Nagano, Shiga, and Okinawa.
•The lifestyle of Shizenha people, young naturalists who are true inheritors of centenarians.
•Cutting-edge Japanese dietary buzzwords such as Ma Go Wa Ya Sa Shi I, Ichibutsu Zentaishoku, and Shindofuji.
•Not only the traditional approaches but also scientific research conducted by modern Japanese doctors and scientists.
•How to improve your wellbeing dramatically while you enjoy eating. It isn’t an elimination diet.
•How to plan your breakfast, lunch, and dinner using your local ingredients.
•The true meaning of Ikigai and how it can help you lead a healthy, happy, and meaningful life.
The Ikigai Diet is a diet and lifestyle I constructed based on the lifestyles of Shizenha people.
I am not a doctor, scientist, or a health expert of any kind, and therefore nothing I wrote in this book guarantees a medical effect. Nonetheless, I have done my research and carefully selected the methods which coincided with recent scientific discoveries, such as autophagy, a cellular recycling mechanism famous for Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi’s Nobel- Prize-winning research.
I am one of Shizenha people, even though I am not young anymore, and I have personally experimented with everything I introduced in the book and found it useful. I turn 60 years old this year, but I haven’t had any problems at my medical checkups so far. People tell me that I look younger than my age, and I was diagnosed that my vascular age was 21 years younger.
(This is the second edition of Ikigai Diet. The new edition The Ikigai Diet has 112 pages, while the first edition has 34 pages. The second edition is much more comprehensive, and there is a print on demand paperback version, as well)

Shizenha people are Japanese naturalists who live in the countryside, growing their food using natural farming or organic farming, and practicing the authentic traditional Japanese diet.
The Ikigai Diet is a diet Sachiaki Takamiya composed based on the diet and lifestyle of Shizenha people and centenarians in many long-lived villages in Japan, including villages in Okinawa.
