ABOUT ME

Hi there.
I'm Tatsuya UCHIDA, Japanese man, born in 1987.
I live in Sendai city where the biggest city in the northern Japan.

I live in an old Japanese traditional house where my grand parents used to live with my wife and our cute baby.
Now we are just doing DIY this house as of June 2023.

I finished traveling around the world visiting 40 countries for nineteen months.
I appreciate everyone I met during the travel. Then, now I'd like to return their kindness to people from abroad whom I'd meet in Japan.

PHILOSOPHY

To be a person whom I respect.
To be honest.
To try to control what I can control. (not trying to control what I can't handle.)
