Greetings, Daisuke Fujimura!

Pardon my intervention, but I'd like to make an unrelated comment…

I'd suggest using nsswitch.conf/db_home setting to point Cygwin to your
profile directly over using a symlink to access it.
You could (and most likely want to) retain the symlink for when you want to
navigate through /home/, but otherwise a direct reference would be a more
stable configuration.
Symlinks are fragile and easily lost to the sands of time.
