As we get older, we may begin to feel our brains slowing down.

Among seniors, about one in five people aged 65 and over has dementia, meaning many older adults are affected.

In such times, recalling things related to the area where you lived can provide very good stimulation.

This time, we present a trivia quiz themed around Mie Prefecture.

There are many questions about traditional crafts and local dialects.

Older adults who lived in Mie Prefecture will likely be able to approach the questions with a childlike sense of fun.

Please use this article as a reference and try Mie-related quizzes as a recreational activity!
