I’ve tried countless planners over the years, but nothing compares to the Hobonichi Cousin. This planner is a game-changer if you’re someone who loves structure and creativity. Pros: Daily Pages: A full A5 page every day gives me room for appointments, to-dos, journaling, or even doodles. It’s therapeutic and productive at the same time. Quality Paper: The Tomoe River paper is thin but holds up impressively well with fountain pens, gel pens, and mildliners. Minimal ghosting, no bleed-through. Layout Variety: With yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily spreads, I can zoom in and out of my schedule as needed. The weekly vertical layout is especially helpful for time-blocking. Build Quality: The binding is durable and the paper feels premium. Even after a full year, it holds up beautifully. Inspiration Everywhere: The quotes at the bottom of each page are thoughtful and sometimes surprisingly profound. Cons: It’s a bit thick and not as portable as some pocket planners — but I knew that going in. I use it as my home base and pair it with a smaller notebook for on-the-go.

This is the best planner I have ever used. It is very well organized. The pages are thin but not flimsy. Thinness is only an issue when it comes to pen choice. Overall I love it since there is plenty of room to write note, schedules, lists, and even journal.

I have used a Hobo Cousin for the last couple of years as a way to keep a daily journal. Last year was the first year I wrote something every single day. I really enjoy the quality of the notebook. The paper took some time getting used it, but I love to write on it now. The size is perfect to sit out on my desk for ease of use. The monthly calendars are the perfect place for me to set up reminders for the major events, appointments and vacations for the month. I have not used the weekly spreads as much as I would like to, but I am continuing to work on that. My only suggestions is that I would like to have a few more notes pages at the back.

Best planner ever. Value is great even though it’s an expensive planner. It’s worth it for me.

I have used the hobonichi cousins as a planner for a few years and love it. The paper quality always lives up to its reputation and is very nice to write on. I like that they have so many different options for start day of the week and what language the book is in. Layout is also nice for many different styles of planners, having a weekly, daily and monthly in one book. Will continue to use these in the future.

I've seen this on TikTok and wanted to try it out. I decorated mine as do most folks have. I like it so far though. It will take a minute to set it up for your purposes. It's neatly designed with a sleek cover. The pages are thin, and there might be some bleed through with how hard you press and what sort of pens/markers you use. The size is good and there's lots of space to write things down. It's very functional for many topics. Can't wait to try it out in 2025!

I can't beleive I am giving this 4 stars but I must. This is the best planner on the market, hands down. However, we were assured that when they had to change the paper this year it would not have any effect on the quality. It feels nice, the sizing is the same which is the important part. The issue is the paper now shadows terribly. I can see the page before it as clear as day. I have used several types of pens and nothing seems to make it better. The paper now curls after I fill the page, which isn't the biggest deal but just shows that the paper struggles to hold ink. I will forever buy this planner but for the price to go up (this is not a cheap planner) and the quality to go down was a bit disappointing. If you are new to the Hobonichi Cousin, they changed the paper this year because of processing reasons. The paper is still nice and super thin, just not as perfect as it was. Nothing compares to this planner though. It has the monthly, weekly and daily on a page spreads. It makes me feel so organized and takes little thought to do so on my end because of the layout. I can have days where I just scribble with a regular pen, days where I draw a pretty picture and days when I decorate and sticker the whole spread. It is amazingly versatile. I'll never buy anything again.
