日本県別最高齢者 (Japanese “Respect for the Aged Day,” September 2025) – Page 16 – Japan

This year, Monday 15 September 2025 will be the "Respect for the Aged Day" (or 敬老の日, keirō no hi) in Japan. Slowly, reports have begun to trickle in (both publicly and privately), meaning this thread has been started. Keirō no hi is an annual celebration held on the third Monday of September, when the elderly citizens of each designated town are celebrated. This means that during the course of September, all prefectures (but also many cities, towns, and villages) publish reports about their oldest citizens - the content of these reports has subsequently been depicted below, if it was reported publicly. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Japanese (and other) members reporting these updates. Do note that if updates are only made privately, I cannot post about them. September 2024. September 2023. September 2022. September 2021.

A map of Japan, indicating where each prefecture is, can be found in the attachment.

An anonymous woman (first name + prefecture of residence known) has recently celebrated her 109th birthday (full DOB known).

Overduidelijk misschien.

A woman from Takasaki, Gunma turned 110 in May (born May 1916). A 109-year-old woman from the same city born in December 1916 is also still alive (as of 31 May 2026).

A 112-year-old woman from Saitama prefecture died in late May 2026. She may have been the woman from Toda or Chichibu (but not from Iruma, confirmed alive on 1 June 2026).

May she rest in peace.
