She was able to maintain a strong and healthy body as she was still physically active climbing Mt. Taradake when she was 82 years old. Moving and working hard are what contribute to Mrs. Mori’s longevity according to herself.

Kane Mori passed away at the age of 111 years on 22 February 2018, in Isahaya, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan.
