The equivalent of Ubuntu's ~/ (a.k.a. /home/yourusername/) in Windows 10 is C:\Users\yourusername\.

The equivalent is C:\Users\

So for you, your home directory would be here:

C:\Users\shushimo

Windows can’t read Linux partitions. That is why you couldn't find the home directory of Ubuntu.

Instead, you could install third-party softwares to do that, like Ext2Fsd, DiskInternals Linux Reader and so on.

    CAUTION: Ext2Fsd is known to cause data corruption on Ubuntu.

I believe I can safely assume that there is no /home directory on Windows. It probably depends on which Windows OS you are talking about. I think Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 has a /home directory, however. In case I am wrong (I probably am) I suggest waiting for another answer.
