Hot, tropical nights prevent many people from having a good night's sleep, even after Ipchu, the 13th of the traditional 24 divisions of the year, which means the beginning of autumn. Centers for senior citizens and welfare citizens serve as great nighttime heat shelters for the elderly living in rural areas.

As darkness falls, elderly people gather at a senior citizens' center. The facility serves as a shelter, to help them escape from the hot weather and sleep-depriving tropical nights. As soon as the door is opened, you're greeted by a blast of cool air. The silver citizens watch TV and have meals together here. These centers are used as shelters for elderly people to get a good rest throughout the night. At these facilities, seniors can sleep well and therefore, maintain good health. It's a far cry from their homes where there's no air conditioning, only electric fans.
