ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Respect for the Aged Day

Respect for the Aged Day is a day in Japan where we show respect and appreciation for older people over the age of 65. On this day, we might say thank you for all the work and wisdom that the older people in our lives have given us. We might give them a hug or have a special dinner with them. This day is to remind us to take care of and appreciate the people who have experienced life for so long!
