It's almost Hobonichi 2026 time!

One thing I always look forward to around this time of year is the release of 2026 planners, specifically the Hobonichi range. I've really become enamored with them in my years of living here, and while they don't officially go on sale until September 1st, I've already been scoping out the fun designs they'll be releasing.

A couple of the planner covers this year include a Tamagotchi themed one and a Moomin themed one, which I imagine will sell like hotcakes (and will probably sell out, to be honest).

There are also lots of new designs in the Hobonichi Weeks range, including some that will only be sold via the Hobonichi site. Amazon Japan typically also has a lot of the Hobonichi range available on their site once released, but obviously not the Hobonichi exclusive ones.
