Welcome to the First 'Age-Well HOSHIGAOKA'

The 'Age-Well HOSHIGAOKA' event will take place on December 6-7, 2025, at Hoshigaoka Terrace in Nagoya. This festival, a joint initiative between AgeWellJapan and Chunichi Shimbun, aims to create a vibrant community where youth and active seniors can coexist and engage with each other. Under the theme of "Growing Old Positively Through Challenges and Discoveries", the event invites individuals of all ages to partake in a festival focused on learning, adventure, and connection.

What is 'Age-Well HOSHIGAOKA'?

The festival embodies the idea of a society where everyone can age positively. From children to seniors, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy, learn, and take on challenges that promote social interaction and well-being. Exhibitor booths and experiential programs will incorporate the principles of 'Age-Well', encouraging cross-generational engagement and fostering a flourishing community spirit.

Nestled in the innovative Hoshigaoka area of Nagoya, the venue represents a forward-thinking community that combines educational institutions like Sugiyama Jogakuen University and an active senior population. This two-day festival promises to generate meaningful encounters and challenges that bridge generational divides.

A New Chapter in the 'Age-Well Festival' Legacy

The 'Age-Well Festival', previously held in Tokyo, marks its fourth year and has drawn nearly 16,000 visitors over two days just in 2025, with a cumulative attendance exceeding 30,000.
