Hello, I’m Higashi, and I manage the Hobonichi Store as part of the Techo Team.

In our ongoing series, “My Hobonichi Techo for 2025,” here are the planners I’ll be using in 2025!



Let me briefly share how I plan to use them.

1st techo: HON Bijutsukai (Rainbow) for life logging

This planner will be for documenting hobbies and jotting down or pasting in things I come across throughout the day. I chose the A5 size so I can use it freely without worrying about space constraints.


I’ll use it alongside the Hobonichi Store Exclusive bonus notebook (right).

I love the straight-line rainbow pattern, the vibrant colors, and the warm, slightly textured feel of the cover.

I plan to use this planner to cherish and preserve the “day-to-day” moments. I’ve already started jotting down some fun prompts for warming up and sparking ideas on the introductory pages.


Using speech bubble sticky notes makes the pages lively.

On days when I’m unsure what to write, I’ll look back at this page for inspiration, treating it like an interview with myself to capture the essence of my day.

2nd techo: Bow & Tie Sushi Weeks Mega for health management



Since it has a sushi motif, my ultimate goal is to “live a healthy year and enjoy lots of delicious sushi!”

I’ll use it to track my daily steps, weather, sleep hours, and other health-related details. Each week, I’ll review and make improvements based on my notes.

The weekly pages in the Weeks can be used starting November 25, so I’ve already begun setting up the base for next week’s entries.


I’ll record my meals on the left and summarize everything else in a table format.

I’m motivated to start managing my health with this planner, especially as we approach the end of the year?a time when it’s easy to get sick!

3rd techo: Day-Free (A5 Size) for an enjoyable reading log


I also bought a new stamp and ink for jotting down my thoughts.

Since 2023, I’ve been tracking the titles of books I read each day. This year, I started noting them in the monthly calendar, and I plan to continue next year.


I love decorating my reading log at the end of each month!

While continuing this habit, I want to expand by writing down my thoughts, things I want to learn more about, or memorable words and phrases from the books I read.

The monthly calendar + graph paper format of the Day-Free is perfect for this.

Rather than forcing myself to write every day, I’ll use this planner at my own pace, jotting down as many pages as I like whenever inspiration strikes.

I’m still deciding on a work planner, so I plan to take inspiration from the updates shared by other members of the Techo Team.

Stay tuned for the next updates!
