Life, by Okinawa

Overview

There more centenarians in Okinawa — Japan's island-dotted, southernmost region — than anywhere else in the world. Want to know why? Head to Life, by Okinawa, a pop-up at 46 Kensington Street, Chippendale, between now and Tuesday.

Open between 11am and 8pm daily, the pop-up is a glorious escape from hectic city life. You'll be treated to free tea and Chinsuko cookies in a tea house, free yoga lessons, free meditation sessions and free karate classes.

In between, relax in a hibiscus garden, wander through an exhibition showcasing traditional ceramics and textiles, and watch films that'll transport you to Okinawa's white sand beaches, subtropical jungle and magical coral reefs. Plus, if this taster event has you ready to book a trip, you'll be able to nab a pretty good flight deal on the spot.
