I am a father of two - a daughter (31 years old) and a son (35 years old). They all grown up and living in Shimane and Nagoya. I have retired from my work on March 2018, but still quite busy with my volunteer work and local community services. I was born and raised in exactly the same place where I live now - surrounded by lots of nature, getting old with my old friends and cousins. Since the new highway has built around my house, it's getting more like a residential area rather than a very relaxing countryside area. I have a wife, we are together about 35 years now. We have a Japanese shibainu dog living outside of my house - he is 11 years old, we go for a walk with him twice a day. My English skill is not that good, but I love having some company from all over the world in my house. Love sharing knowledge and experiences with each other. I chop woods for my wood stove, clean fallen leaves and enjoying to see little burning fire in my garden. I also like drinking with farmers with foods that my wife cooks.
