Ogimi, Ogimi Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa 905-1306, Japan
A UNESCO World Natural Heritage forest
The Yanbaru Forest stretching across northern Okinawa is a treasure trove of precious ecosystems designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.
Ogimi Village, nurtured by this abundant forest, owes its notably high population of residents over 90 years old to simple, wholesome meals made from local vegetables, black pork, and seafood.
