In 1926 she moved to Abashiri, Hokkaido with her husband Shichizo, and from 1930 onwards she lived in Hamakoshimizu. The couple ran a farm, and they were blessed with three sons and three daughters.
Even after her husband died in 1965, she continued to thrive in cattle feeding and dairy farming until she could no longer walk in 2007 at the age of 109. No matter how busy she was with her farm work, it was her pleasure to grow flowers all over her garden.
