The English-language Planner has a textured black cover with techō (手帳) gold-foiled on the front. Its daily format is slightly different from the Original’s.
The Original books have cream-colored covers with logos printed in different colors so you can tell the difference between the various options. The Original comes in English, Japanese, or Simplified Chinese.
The Japanese Original Avec divides the year into two books. It’s a good option for journalers who love to collect photos and scraps of paper in their techō, or those who want a lightweight daily planner.
Towards the middle of the year, you can get a single July–December Avec book.

The Cousin is unique because it has vertical hourly trackers at the beginning of the book. You can use them to help you plan for the entire week at a glance.
The Cousin is available in English or Japanese. You can tell them apart thanks to the logo colors on the fronts.
There’s also a Japanese Cousin Avec, which divides the year into half-year books. During the middle of the year, you can get a single July–December Avec.

The Card Case holds up to 32 cards (9 cm x 6.5 cm or smaller) in its eight double-pocketed clear sheets. It also has two large single pockets measuring 3” x 5” at the front and back. The Photo Album can store up to twenty 3” x 5” items in its ten pockets.
The Cover for Weeks goes directly on top of the Weeks’ sturdy cover. The Clear Cover has a pen loop and card pockets built in. You can punch out the marking flap on the inside front cover to use it as a bookmark. It doesn’t have a zipper opening in the back.
These clear covers don’t fit all A6, A5, Weeks, and Weeks MEGA covers. Check specific product page descriptions to see if your book cover is compatible. In general, book covers that are thicker than those found in the Colors lines won’t work with a clear cover. Additionally, book covers made of glossy material will “stick” and may get damaged.
In addition to the Clear Cover on Cover, Hobonichi also makes Illustrated Cover on Covers that feature unique designs for each year. The A6 and A5 covers don’t have zippered pockets.
Some external covers are not compatible with Cover on Covers. Check specific product page descriptions to find out your planner’s compatibility with this accessory.

To use the Page Keeper with the Hobonichi Techo Weeks, install the planner’s included sticker pocket in the bottom right corner of the inside back cover first.
The sheets are blank with adorable illustrations at the bottoms, and they’re glued into the binding so you can tear them out neatly. The paper isn’t the same as that found in the planners, but it performs well with pencils, ballpoint pens, and gel pens.
A pencil board is a hard yet flexible surface that makes it easy to form neat letters on a packed planner. Hobonichi’s pencil board is made from Yupo, a synthetic paper that is tear proof and waterproof.
Match the size of the pencil board to your planner so that you have as much surface area to write on as possible.
