65+ Being old in rural Japan
Pia Kieninger and Isabelle Prochaska-Meyer are scientists. In an empirical study “Aged communities and active ageing - A case study of rural villages in the Japanese Alps” (funded by the OeNB, JSPS, OeAD, DIJ and ÖFG) they investigated the daily life of elderly in rural Japan and spend thereto 4 months on site (2013 and 2014). The documentary is an outcome of the research (funded by TIFO).
Short Synopsis:
Demographic change - ageing of society and depopulation of peripheral regions - is affecting many industrialized countries. Japan, with a proportion of currently 25 % elderly of 65 years and/or older, is in this regard a forerunner worldwide. Based on the ethnographic research project „Aged communities and active ageing - A case study of rural villages in the Japanese Alps”, conducted by scientists from the University of Vienna, this documentary focuses on the daily life and challenges in three overaged villages in the Japanese Alps. The story portraits two single-living seniors: the 84-year-old Shimako, a former farmer wife, with a husky deep voice, who still grows vegetables. She regularly meets her neighbors for tea chats and joins the village choir and gymnastics course. Her biggest passion however is gateball, a very popular senior team-sport in Japan, similar to croquet. And there is the 93-year-old Genichi, the oldest man in his village with driving license, who hates sport but loves composing short poems (tanka) on daily events. As he enjoys his freedom in old age, deciding for himself when to get up and when to work, he refuses to live with his son´s family. Also he still cultivates his agricultural field for self-subsistence.
In between the portraits, the narrator introduces general information about the current situation of rural life in Japan and of the three municipalities, regarding local supply, mobility, welfare and communal activities.

Muren Ereignis Natupark Sölktäler Trailer Dokumentarfilm
Переглядів 1,5 тис.9 років тому
Im Juli 2010 hat eine schwere Muren-Katastrophe im Kleinsölktal (Steiermark) 220 ha Almweidefläche zerstört. Grosse Teile konnten seitdem wieder hergestellt werden. Der Naturpark Sölktäler hat die BOKU mit einem Dokumentarfilm beauftragt. Hauptthemen des 17-minütigen Films "Nach der Mure - Über den Umgang mit Naturgewalten" betreffen Almwirtschaft und Almrevitalisierung, den Umgang mit solchen ...

Wow
Yeah young people love the city / suburban lifestyle I can’t blame them rural Japan is just trees and farms all over small villages and communities not many stores and fast food places to eat out that doesn’t bother an old gen cuz they are more used to that sort of environment it’s sad to see the country side is dying out .
The morning music gives it Pokémon vibes
Und jetzt verbauen sie das schöne Tal komplett mit Wasserkraftwerke. :(
From one side it’s frightening to see what happens to the mind and body once the irreversible threshold of age has been crossed. On the other hand I admire the spirit of self-care among those people, regardless of physical and mental limitations they have to face every day. I hope in the next 100 years scientists will finally find the way how to cure the illness of ageing.
now im sad that I wont ever experience this kind of tranquility and peace considering i live in a underdeveloped country
How is everything so immaculately clean?
09:50 Did I see Turkish delight on the bench/table? ☺️
Canada has the same population as Tokyo; We’re doing fine, and i’m sure Japan will be fine as well.✌️🤨
i could live in places like this! away from buzzing cars and loud chats ... i wish i could visit japan in the near future
Beautiful documentary, the activities can be emulated in rural areas in other countries. I'm inspired to head a program like this in the future.
Such a beutiful soul .Keep healthy and strong granny.
Instead of a very long life, it's good to have an active and happy life as long as you live. Old age care homes are like going to hell. This Japanese style 'being old in rural Japan' is exemplary. I love Japan.
Feels like living in real life anime
This place looks like an anime scene transformed to reality. So serene & beautiful.
I'm soon to spend one month in the remotest village of Japan. Probably After 2 Years!
Anyone here for AP Human Geography?
very peaceful it looks like living in the countryside
Its a sad, but a beautiful story. Active aging certainly has its flaws, but is definitely much better than the wests use of nursing homes where people are crippled by inactivity and lack of hope. The mass migration to the cities is certainly an issue for small villages economic viability for small shops and infrastructure. But, It is a good thing that the elderly there lived a substinence farming lifestyle their whole life, otherwise there would be much more difficulty for them. Truly a great documentary, I am always thankful when people record the lives of people whom we don't have long to learn from.
I love japan
A very nice documentary, demonstrating that old age should not be an age of isolation, but an age of companionship and independence, where and when possible. The western world could take a few tips from this, instead of isolating elderly in care homes.
japan takes care of her Old citizens well....sigh
I'm young but I'm already crazy to live in the countryside more peacefully...
Very interesting video!Sehr gut!Do you have any other video about live in rural Japan?
Japan rural looks like a cify
How is it to live longer than your children? The hell with that, I much rather live shorter fruitful life, a good 67-70.
I would do this, with a good ductless heater very efficient can heat these old homes I wonder?
Japan has great tradition of respecting the elders. The same story is happening to many countries as well. Even in Indian bramhin families, it is the same. All our elderly are independent.
They lead such productive lives even into their 80s and 90s. They try to be independent and not be a burden to anyone. No sense of entitlement that is seen in other cultures. Amazing model for both young and old all over the world!
A life that is free of pollution, smoke and noise, i’d prefer that simple life in the sub urban, rural areas or the province that is full of nature.
4:07 :-) >>> I also was almost last in running at schooltime (always 2nd last ... haha...) NOW, I'm past 60 (63) , I do run many competitions 5K, 10K, 10 M , 1/2 marathon.. and sometimes get 2nd place in the 60+ age category :-) ... Dedication changes life !
Japanese running out of people.
After watching this video I realized that being a farmer is enjoyable and make us into better quality of live by living in rural area, breathe clearer air and eating fresh and healthy stuff first-hand from the field.
Im a westerners, & love almost everything about Japan, although i gather to retied theres very hard to impossible, even if ones financially independent in all areas
I like rural Japan
The best country where nature and technology live in harmony...
Beautifull view..
In fact those people are the real Japanese people , show you love and peace and happiness, but people who live in big cities in Japan especially the young people are really fake Japanese people, god bless those old people and protect them, I love from my heart ❤️
All humans get there, no exception. I only hope other countries with very large senior population will get ideas from this video on how to still live proactive and without dependencies to their children.
Wow both can still drive..
เสียอย่างเดียวเกิดแผ่นดินไหวบ่อยครั้ง
บ้าน แถวชนบท น่าอยู่จริงๆ
Nice to listen every morning,
What quiet place
Long life is a gift From God...always grateful in everyway you will be healthy and happy
it would be nice if all countries will build masterplan communities design for the elderlies. these communities will have everything the elderlies need conviniently and have workers supporting or taking care them until their last breath. atleast this is my dream!
Slow down the english subtitles giving time to read
Oh ! what a life ,so clean and tidy and calm ideal for healthy retirement ! blessed people in this village.
This is a beautiful way of life..thats why they live such long productive lives..wish it was like that here in the US...i wish I grew up there and lived like they do..i bet they have so many wonderful memories and stories to tell..God has truly blessed these people and they deserve the best in life😇🙏🥰❤💯
I found myself relaxing and smiling as I watched this...Living in a small community in their own houses almost made me cry. Friends over the years and those bonds are like family. Their Interdependence and attitudes are just wonderful. And able to have a garden! I live in a retirement home 6 stories tall with 125 residents and most activities are in the rec room downstairs. I miss everything about living in a home of my own. And with people like this? A slice of heaven. I might cry myself to sleep tonight. I study Buddhism. Namaste.
