Our Website is Officially Live!

2026年5月13日

Hi there! I’m Chiaki Kunihara, a certified public tax accountant.

To be honest, I’ve been thinking, "I really should set up a website..." for about several months (okay, maybe years!) now. But after finally surviving the wave of tax filing season, I’m thrilled to announce that this site has officially made its debut.

If you were starting to wonder, "Does Kunihara actually exist?", you can now use this page to confirm that I am, in fact, alive and well!

Moving forward, I’ll be sharing helpful tax tips, along with the occasional "completely unrelated to taxes" glimpse into my daily life. I hope you enjoy both!

Feel free to reach out via the contact form. And don’t worry—you’ll be hearing back from the real me, not an AI! (lol)
