On Wednesday, February 23, a gaming experience event for seniors was held at the Uchikamado Community Center in Kamegawa, with 19 participants in attendance. Many attendees arrived before the event began, reflecting their excitement and anticipation.
During the post-event discussion session, participants shared comments such as “It was really fun” and “I’m grateful that this gave me a chance to talk with people I didn’t know before.” The event once again highlighted the role of games as a catalyst for connecting people and fostering communication across generations.
