Miyoko Hiroyasu Celebrates 114th Birthday While Recovering from COVID-19
Miyoko Hiroyasu, the oldest living resident of Ōita Prefecture, and the fourth-oldest in Japan, celebrated her 114th birthday on 23 January. Around the same time, she made a full recovery from COVID-19, becoming one of the oldest survivors.
Hiroyasu-san (広安美代子) was born in Nakatsu, Ōita Prefecture, on 23 January 1911. She studied art at a Tokyo school and later worked as an art teacher in Hiroshima Prefecture. She married a man she had met while working in Hiroshima.

According to the nursing home, Hiroyasu-san enjoys playing Othello and card games, such as memory games and Line Up Seven, with other residents almost every day. She maintains a lively sense of humor, often playfully attempting to trick her opponents when she’s about to lose.
Around the time of her 114th birthday, she was battling COVID-19. However, she has since made a full recovery and is now doing well.
On 13 February 2024, shortly after her 113th birthday, she received a celebratory visit from LongeviQuest Japan president Yumi Yamamoto at the nursing home in Nakatsu where she resides. A video report from this visit was released on our YouTube channel, where you can hear Hiroyasu-san share her incredible life story in her own words.
