The life of the elderly in Japan

After staying in Japan for a few days, I observed the life of the elderly in Japan, and I was more touched and chatted.

I have observed that the life of the elderly in Japan is very divided. First, in tourist attractions, busy streets or hot spring hotels, many Japanese elderly people linger, eating, drinking and having fun. Buying cakes at a famous cake shop in Xinjiaoqiao Commercial Street, there are many Japanese old people waiting in line in front; Second, in restaurants, hotels and taxis, there are too many silver-haired old people doing these jobs, and they all trotted away, which is very distressing.

The old woman in the hotel. This is when I was taking a taxi, I quietly photographed the nameplate of the taxi driver in the back seat.

With questions, I asked the tour guide that he was from Beijing and had been in Japan for ten years. He told me:

First, Japanese young people don't like to do bottom-level jobs, and there is a big labor gap, so this kind of jobs can be divided into different time periods such as morning, afternoon and evening to recruit people or international students. Some Japanese old people like to spend a few hours going out to do some work every day, both to earn pocket money and to exercise. So I'm busy going to see the old man with silver hair in Japan.

Second, Japanese elderly people who are hospitalized at the age of 70 don't spend money, and there is no burden of high medical expenses. They save some money for their old age, and others can go to play and soak in hot springs.

Third, the elderly in Japan basically don't have to look after their children. The local tour guide who accompanied us married a Japanese wife, and he also opened a small izakaya. He asked his mother-in-law to help look after the children. Father-in-law said: the child was born to you, and it is your own responsibility to look after the child. We shouldn't look after children. In addition, children actually live with you completely for only five years (because Japanese children go to school at the age of five). Only one third of him belongs to you after school, less than one tenth after work, and even less after marriage. So cherish this period of time, cultivate your children according to your own requirements, and let them have good quality, good habits and good gratitude, so that they will not leave you.

I feel that Japanese old people are very chic, and they can do whatever they want, whether they are working or playing.
