Japan’s Oldest Woman Shigeko Reveals the Secret to Her Longevity
Japanese people are often known for their longevity, and Shigeko Kagawa is a remarkable example of this. At 114 years old, she is Japan’s oldest living person. Incredibly, in 2021, this centenarian even took part in the Olympic torch relay.
Recently, she shared the secret behind her long life. Shigeko worked as an obstetrician and gynecologist until the age of 86. Even today, she reads the daily newspaper thoroughly, keeping her mind active.
When asked how she managed to live such a long and healthy life, Shigeko smiled and said, “When I was a doctor, there weren’t so many cars. We walked everywhere. Maybe that’s why I stayed strong and healthy. My energy has always been my greatest asset. I went wherever I wanted, ate whatever I liked, did whatever I pleased, and lived freely.”
However, she added that her life wasn’t without structure. Shigeko maintained a routine—eating three meals a day at set times, going to bed and waking up on schedule. Even though she enjoyed freedom in her activities, this rhythm gave her life balance, which she believes contributed to her longevity.
Before Shigeko, Japan’s record for the longest lifespan was held by Miyoko Hiroyasu. Before her passing, Miyoko also credited a spontaneous and joyful lifestyle for her long life. She continued to read newspapers, paint, and play cards until the very end—living each day to the fullest. Perhaps this love for life is what blessed both women with such remarkable longevity.
If you want, I can also rewrite this in a more catchy, news-style headline and format so it reads like an online feature article. That would make it even more engaging for readers.
