Hobonichi 2026 A5 Planner – English Cousin Book [A5 Size | Daily | Jan Start | Monday Start]

This is the English version of the A5 size Hobonichi Techo Cousin with a page-per-day format.

The book layout is the same as the Japanese edition. Not only is it useful for writing down your plans for the day, jotting down memos, doodling, pasting event tickets or photos, the spacious Cousin is easy to use as a techo to write down everything work-related, as a family notebook, tracking the growth of children and pasting in pictures to create a family album or sharing pages among family members. It’s also frequently used as a planner that is always kept on a desktop or table rather than carrying around.

After years of testing, the graph paper has been set to 3.7 mm for optimal writing comfort. The graph paper design allows users to write from any starting point on the page, and the lines have been printed in light colours so users can either customize it to their own layout or ignore it completely. Like with the Japanese version, each month is printed in a different colour.

The daily pages include a quote in English per two-page spread specially chosen from the Hobonichi website.

Other than the daily pages with lots of space to write, the book contains several sections that are great for schedule management, such as a yearly calendar, monthly calendar, and yearly index page. The back of the book has bonus pages, including Memories 2026, 12 Switches to Help You Focus, and For a Comfortable Night’s Sleep.
