Happy New Year!
As we welcome the start of a new year, it’s also the perfect time to start using your Hobonichi Techo.

The Hobonichi Techo team has come up with a fun activity that’s perfect for this season. Drumroll, please!



Let’s share each other's “First Page” of your Hobonichi Techo on social media!

In the past, we’ve enjoyed seeing how people use their techo during the New Year. The more pages we see, the more interesting it gets!

Some people carefully write their first entry, while others might purposely write messily as a way to begin.
Even though we’re all starting on the same day, each page reflects a unique lifestyle. It’s fascinating to see how different everyone’s lives can be.

Perhaps you’ll jot down some New Year’s resolutions or record something special about the holiday. Maybe you’ll establish some rules for how you’ll use your Hobonichi Techo this year.

No matter your approach, we’d love to see your “First Page” for 2025. Please feel free to participate!

Oh, and when we say “First Page,” we mean the page that’s the “start” for you?whether it’s the very first page you open to, the January 1st daily page, the monthly calendar, or even the bonus pages at the back.
