Overview

In a remote Japanese village, elderly residents have a common dream: to end their last days in their hometown, surrounded by family and friends. For years, end-of-life care in hospitals far away was their only option. But now, thanks to a dedicated doctor and team of caregivers, people are able to receive such care at home or at a nearby nursing facility, bringing peace of mind to patients and loved ones alike.
