On the Hobonichi Techo Official Website (Hobonichi Store), all September-launch items of the Hobonichi Techo 2023 lineup will be released on September 1, 2022 at 11 AM Japan time.
Products available at Loft stores in Japan, the Tobichi shops, and other shops will also begin sales on September 1st. (This excludes products that aren’t available until October and onwards.)
We’ve put together a basic Q&A to help answer some questions about the sales system.
Please see this page for a walkthrough:
The easiest way to buy products from different release dates is to wait until all the items are available and make your purchase then.
ExampleIf you want to buy Product A which is released on September 1st and Product B which is released on October 1st, make your purchase after October 1st, 11 AM Japan time.
Once in a while, an especially popular product may sell out on the day of release. If you would like to ensure your chances for buying an item, you can complete your purchase for available items on each day of release, then put the order on Shipping Hold. When placing additional orders, you will be able to continually merge to that original order during checkout. (Please note that orders placed separately and not merged together will each have their own shipping and handling fees.)
Please see this page for more information on Shipping Holds and Order Merging:
We generally have enough stock to cover demand. However, some particular products may far surpass expectations and sell out sooner than we had anticipated. We ask for your understanding if this happens.
*Please see the following Q&A for information regarding restocks.
