About Us

2 Huge in Japan

Sig & Anne are two fat Americans living happily in Japan. Will living in Japan help us lose weight? With no car, we'll be walking nearly if not taking a train or two. So far our meals have been pretty healthy. In the meantime, we'll be enjoying the history, culture, and adventures that Japan has to offer!
