Celebrating 30 Years of Asumi Life Minami-Oosawa

In a heartfelt tribute to its residents, families, and the local community, JKK Tokyo is hosting a celebration to mark the 30th anniversary of the care-supported senior living facility, Asumi Life Minami-Oosawa. This festival aims not only to express gratitude but also to share the essence of this unique living environment with a broader audience.

A Milestone Celebration

Asumi Life Minami-Oosawa, a notable facility established back in 1996, has played an integral role in accommodating the elderly population, ensuring they enjoy a fulfilling and secure living experience. For three decades, it has been a haven for many residents, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

The festival will be an excellent opportunity for everyone, from children to senior citizens, to engage in activities that promote connection and joy. It is a pivotal moment to rediscover community ties that may have waned during the pandemic, which temporarily interrupted social interactions.

Event Highlights

Scheduled from June 21 to June 27, 2024, the community festival will feature a wealth of engaging activities:

• - June 21 (Sunday): The opening day invites the public to the Asumi Market, where local produce and fun activities like ring toss, coloring, and sticker crafts await participants.

Additionally, the popular donut vendor HUGSY DOUGHNUT will serve sweet treats throughout the day, complemented by food trucks and other stalls, from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM.

• - June 23 (Tuesday): An exclusive walking event with Duke Saruka, a renowned walking doctor, will offer guided sessions focused on healthy walking techniques. This session requires prior reservations due to limited space, with a maximum attendance of 35 participants.
