Fukuoka Hosts Its First Community Event 'Shu-Sapo'
On May 15, 2026, Fukuoka will witness the inaugural event of 'Shu-Sapo,' a community aimed at aiding individuals navigating end-of-life planning, organized by Akari Hoshō Co., Ltd. The event marks the expansion of the organization into Fukuoka, coinciding with their newly opened office there, and aims to strengthen partnerships within the Kyushu region.
Akari Hoshō, spearheaded by attorney Yuki Shimizu, collaborates with various professionals including lawyers, judicial scriveners, and care managers to provide a vital service: identity guarantee services for those living alone.

Background and Purpose of 'Shu-Sapo'
In Japan, the aging population is rapidly growing, with a predicted 10 million elderly individuals without children by 2050. Out of these, around 4 million are expected to have no family support at all. This poses a serious challenge as they often find it difficult to secure an identity guarantor when needing to enter a hospital or a care facility. Consequently, many elderly people are at risk of not receiving the necessary services they require.
Akari Hoshō recognizes the pressing social issue surrounding isolation and solitary deaths, especially among the elderly living alone. They believe this challenge can be more effectively addressed through collaborative efforts with other professionals rather than independently. Thus, 'Shu-Sapo' was initiated to create a supportive network for those dedicated to assisting individuals during their end-of-life planning.
This community will provide valuable resources and knowledge-sharing opportunities, allowing members to learn from each other and collaborate towards enhancing the support framework needed for the elderly.
