About Me

Student, hobbyist programmer, and photographer sharing honest thoughts from Kyoto.

Who I Am

I'm Kazunari, a student and hobbyist programmer based in Kyoto, Japan. When I'm not studying or coding, you'll find me exploring the mountains around Kyoto with my camera or diving deep into the latest technology trends.

Photography and hiking are my escapes from the digital world. There's something magical about capturing a moment in nature or discovering a hidden trail in the hills surrounding this ancient city. These experiences often inspire the thoughts I share here.

What I Do

As a student, I'm constantly learning and questioning. Programming started as a hobby but has become a passion for solving real problems. I love experimenting with new technologies and building tools that make life easier.

Currently, I'm working on a project to help university students choose their best classes. Having navigated the complexities of course selection myself, I understand how overwhelming it can be. This project combines my programming skills with a genuine desire to help fellow students make better academic decisions.

Why This Blog

"Raw Thoughts" exists as my digital archive - a place where I can share honest, unfiltered opinions about technology, photography, student life, and whatever else crosses my mind. No corporate polish, no carefully curated persona. Just genuine thoughts and experiences.

I believe in authentic sharing. Whether it's a technical discovery, a hiking adventure, or thoughts on university life, I write about what genuinely interests or challenges me. If it resonates with you, great. If not, that's perfectly fine too.
