Hello! I’m Asako from the Techo Team, where I work on the English website and planner production.

For 2025, here’s the planner setup I’m planning to use!



One planner for to-dos and notes
For Work - Weeks Mega

Sneaker: Leaf Green [Weeks Mega]
Tragen (Black) [Weeks Cover]

In 2024, I tried using the Weeks as my work planner for the first time because I wanted to organize my weekly to-dos in one place.


Check out how I used it in this Techo News post.

At first, I thought the Weeks wouldn’t have enough space for everything, so I paired it with the Original book, which has daily pages. But eventually, carrying two planners everywhere became a hassle...


In the end, I settled on stuffing the Weeks into my laptop case pocket.

After I gave up on carrying two planners, I switched to taking notes on my computer. But honestly, I miss the freedom of writing by hand. At the same time, I’ve grown fond of the Weeks...

So, in 2025, I’ll try the Weeks Mega, which has three times the memo pages of the regular Weeks!

I chose the Leaf Green Sneaker cover because its bright, cheerful green is simply adorable.


It even pairs nicely with the Hobonichi Store exclusive ballpoint pen!

The cover material looks great for decorating with stickers, so I’m planning to personalize it with some of my favorites.


Still deciding which stickers to use.

This year, I carried a few pens stuffed into my laptop case pocket. But in 2025, I want to bring a wider variety of stationery with me, so I’ll pair the planner with the Tragen cover.



Creative collaging freedom
For Personal Use - HON (A5 Size)

Hiroko Kubota: Crescent Moon Delivery [HON (A5 Size)]

This year, I’ve been using the A6 size Planner to create collages with candy wrappers, photos, and other cutouts.



It was fun to carefully select which parts to cut out and arrange them to fit the compact A6 size. However, I found myself saving up materials and doing the work later, which took more time.

For next year, I want more space to freely paste things, so I’m upgrading to the A5 size, which is twice as large.

I chose Hiroko Kubota’s Crescent Moon Delivery design because the glowing crescent moon and its reflection on the water are stunning.


My favorite detail is the fox’s expression?the eyebrows and whiskers are adorable.


The glossy cover adds to its beauty, both front and back.

I also plan to use this planner to write a daily diary, because…

Starting round two
Hobonichi 5-Year Techo

Iyo Okumi / Hobonichi 5-Year Techo Gift Set haconiwa
(This item is sold out.)

There’s a reason I also want to write a diary in the HON: it’s my first time switching to a new 5-Year Techo!

I’ve been using the 2020?2024 edition, and at first, I often missed days. But by the second year, I realized how fascinating it was to read my thoughts from the previous year. That’s when I fell in love with the 5-Year Techo and started writing every little detail in it.

Eventually, I ran out of space and thought, “Next time, I’ll get the Large 5-Year Techo!” But...



The haconiwa gift set by iyo okumi won me over with its beautiful embroidered cover and charming miniature garden-inspired box interior. Even though I was tempted by the larger size, I chose this one instead.

To manage the limited space, I’ll write daily reflections and thoughts in the 5-Year Techo, while the HON will hold details about meals and events. I’m still debating whether to swap those roles, but I’ll figure it out before next year!
