According to Japanese media, including the Yomiuri Shimbun, Hiroyasu Miyoko, the oldest Japanese person living in Nakatsu City, Oita Prefecture, died on the 29th of last month at the age of 114.
With the death of Miyokyo, born on January 23, 1911, Kagawa Shigeko (114), born on May 28, 1911, in Yamato-Koriyama, Nara Prefecture, became the oldest person in Japan.
Kagawa, a former obstetrician and gynecologist, said "Working as a doctor and walking around a lot for home visits is the source of health."
When she worked in the obstetrics and gynecology clinic, she had strong legs because she walked late at night and even on her days off"I want to continue to stay healthy in the future."
She said that she lives with her family and eats three meals a day regularly and evenly and enjoys calligraphy as a hobby.
Mayor Kiyoshi Ueda of Yamato-Koriyama City added "It seems that protecting many lives as an obstetrician led to Mr. Kagawa's longevity."
