We interviewed active senior citizens living in Naoshima about their lifestyle.The hearing provided the following results; 1)We interviewed 8 senior citizens ( 4 males and 4 females ). Their ages were from 71 to 93 years old and 79.8 in average. 2)5 out of them lived with a child and grandchildren. 2 lived with their spouse and the other lived by him/herself. 3)They lived on their pension mainly. 4)They went shopping everyday or a few days a week. They usually bought daily necessities at a co-op store in the island. 5)Many found life worth living in volunteer service at their neighborhood association, the growth of their grandchildren and events in the island. 6)Regarding lifestyle in the future, some of them replied that they would not be able to catch up with a rapid change by development. However, almost all answered that they were satisfied with their current lifestyle. The reasons they can live at ease are that their community is a safe place and that measures to cope with medical treatment and emergency have been taken. We conclude Naoshima is an island where all people can lead a safe and happy life.
