Tenchi & Leo

Tenchi and Leo are Japanese siblings born and raised abroad. Due to family circumstances, we were fortunate to have lived in many countries around the world, such as Thailand, Canada, and New Zealand. We finally came back to Japan about 10 years ago and are still having fun reconnecting with our roots ever since. Even though we are Japanese, with our backgrounds, we can also see Japan through the lenses of foreigners. This is why we started Instagram and a blog site to share our discoveries of this beautiful country.
