Hobonichi Techo Planner (Original A6, Japanese edition)

The cult planner on its home ground: cheaper than any importer, with covers and editions that exist only in Japan — the anchor purchase of a Tokyo stationery crawl.

Price: 2600 JPY (Hobonichi official store price for the A6 Japanese book)

Where to buy: TOBICHI (Hobonichi's own Tokyo/Kyoto shops) or Loft and Itoya Ginza — pair it with Japan-only covers, and raid the same floors for Midori, Kokuyo and Pilot exclusives.

• The Tomoe River-style paper and Japan-only cover designs are the draw; the April-start and Japanese-week-layout editions never ship abroad.
• TikTok virality means popular covers sell out — the plain book is always available.
• While you're there: Japan-exclusive pens (Pilot Hi-Tec-C colors, limited Sarasa runs) cost a fraction of import prices.
