I was in Tokyo for the Hobonichi 2024 Launch & Saved over $100! My Experience at Tobichi!

I went to the Hobonichi store, Tobichi in Tokyo on September 1st for the Hobonichi 2024 launch! I was in line with well over 50 people before the store opened and was able to get everything on my wishlist for a great price! My footage isn't the best but hopefully you will get the idea of what it was like to be there for such a big day! Will you be getting a Hobonichi planner for 2024?

I am 13 hours ahead of Boston time here in Japan and I was able to go to the Hobonichi launch at the Tobichi store here in Tokyo! it is under a half mile from my hotel! It was exciting to be there today and I wanted to share my experience with you! What's on your Hobonichi wish list??

[@salehelsileni3665]

I am from Libya 🇱🇾 I love you to watch you in your channel is my favourite ❤️

[@hollyc4624]

I’m in Eastern time too and set my alarm to the equivalent time so that I could place my order from the Hobonichi store when they went live. You made out incredibly well with the prices, plus a fun trip to Japan! Plus, no taxes AND no shipping costs! Well done. How amazing that your hotel was so close to the store. Great haul.

[@arlenet.1520]

Hi Lori! I’m so excited that you are in Japan…and how wonderful of an experience to get all your Hobonichi items at the launch in Japan!😊 Yes I want to continue with Hobonichi for year two for 2024. But I am curious about the HON version which will launch later…my cousin invited me to visit her in Japan so I may do what you did and plan for next year’s pen show and make it a longer trip…😮. But I want to try Travelers Notebook also this year too! I felt the Hobonichi Weeks was too small but I am almost done with my Hobonichi Cousin…can’t wait to see all your pen adventures! Have a wonderful time! Stay safe! And thanks for all the great content as usual…😊

[@Stormbrise]

I am so jealous that you have been to this store, and the TN store. I would have also hit up Loft for their exclusive covers and the Doraemon cover at the museum, and try to get my hands on the Moomin cover. It is great to visit the store, however, I think your plane ticket was more than your savings. Not be mean, but I thought of doing the same until I realized the cost of the ticket while watching your video. Though you get to experience the culture. I told my husband when i visit Japan I will pack my clothes in a carry on, and bring two empty suitcases for stationary and Disney Tokyo stuff. Same with South Korea.

[@timewithtata8004]

Thanks so much! @@salehelsileni3665

[@blktauna]

I totally order my Hobonichi stuff from Japan. The price difference on the books alone made up for the shipping. And they had all the extras. The botanical pencil boards are so beautiful and I love the notebooks.

[@michellealdrich]

Kudos to you for getting this up so fast 🙌🏻 Next up - Lori goes to Tokyo with a suitcase of American clothing, returns with it full of #allthestationerythings TFS 😊

[@jeanrobinson6584]

Fabulous to share your excitement x

[@msjesseleigh.mp4]

Oh my gosh! I never thought to be there in-person, I've always ordered from the website--new goal unlocked! How exciting!

[@LivingWithLacey]

I was flipping through KZbin and found your channel! I LOVE it!!! I’ll be binge watching today! Thanks for sharing!

[@lindadorman2869]

So funny, I used to stay at The Palace Hotel when I went to Tokyo on business and, after a career change, worked as a chef/baker at Starbucks Reserve in the US. What I remember about the subway system is the route map looks like a bowl of spaghetti and it was hard to navigate without help. But I loved shopping in Tokyo - everyone is so helpful and polite, and the quality is top notch! Enjoy your trip and safe travels!

[@timewithtata8004]

What a small world! The Palace Hotel was really nice. Yes, the subway system is crazy!

[@mshaunplans]

Oh what a wonderful experience!!!

[@SusanNexus]

I loved walking thru neighborhoods. I love to see how people live around the world!!!

[@fossilimprint2954]

Great big thank you for showing us the actual Hobonichi store in Japan!

[@davew19904]

Such a lovely voice! Congrats on the amazing chance and fun!

[@bribbonedaltheageiser]

Oh my goodness, I'd want one of everything!! Mind boggling.

[@timewithtata8004]

It was hard to hold back!

[@connieanderson6339]

Wow, what a great experience that was for you!!! It was so fun to see your footage of the Hobonichi store!! I'm looking forward to your future haul videos of everything you got on your trip. Thanks for sharing!!

[@coryk1592]

How exciting to be in Japan! My son and I both want to travel there someday. It looks beautiful there and icing on the "planner" cake to be there during hobonichi launch!!

[@manuelacaravane]

So exited 😊

[@moonlitplanning]

Thanks for sharing!! I’m so excited bc I’m going to Japan in late Octoberrrr and this was so fun!!

[@martin7878]

Wow!! I just purchased $250 of Hobonichi items from Jetpens and I get not one free pen! And I love the pens. Lucky you.

[@Lovecharmaine]

Oh my goodness how fun!! 🥰✨ I definitely wish to go one day! Hehe. Lovely haul! Can’t wait to see how you use it all 🫶🏼

[@grammie2five.]

I didn’t even know you have a love for planners! What an amazing opportunity you got!! So excited for you! TfS!

[@lifehappenswithsarah8140]

Looks like I’m going to Japan next year because I spent quite a bit on launch day for my Hobonichi planners. Lol. Great video by the way.

[@cme6229]

Thank you for bringing us along. Loving every minute.

[@StephLane]

Thank you for sharing! Looks like so much fun! Between Japan and Orlando, you’re going to have such an awesome week! Thank you for letting me enjoy vicariously through you!

[@marjoriemarlowe8978]

Safe travels.

[@thegrumpythrifters2998]

I am DYING! I absolutely love my Hobonichi planners & notebooks. I have always watched you for thrifting content & somehow missed this channel. I also prefer fountain pens. This was a fabulous video!!!!

[@timewithtata8004]

I love when my worlds collide!! Thanks so much for watching! I couldn't wait to get home and dig in to this bag! Sad I have to wait to start planning in them! This store was really special!

[@sharonbennett2953]

I am getting the Botanical Weeks in English. Every year!!. Tried to grab one on Yoseka's site last night. Nope! I am so happy you got to be there on the first day!!!

[@beckyparkco]

THAT’S WHY YOU WENT TO JAPAN?? I just ordered the hobonichi cousin online. But how cool!!!

[@shannontyree6689]

It's so fun to watch your excitement! Love how excited you are about stationary and FP's. Thanks for taking us all along on your journeys. Keep filming 🙂

[@marnat5961]

Arigato for sharing … I’m drooling! Indeed this is stationary heaven!

[@paperieplanning]

I really enjoy these hauls/ real time clips. thank you so much for sharing 🤍

[@cynthiak2216]

Thank you for this video! So much fun! Joyful to see you having such an incredible experience🤗🥰🥳

[@PlanBudgetDisney]

"I'm a die hard but not without caffeine." Truer words have never been said!

[@Book_on_the_brightside]

This was so much fun to watch! I love this for you!! The one thing I wasn’t able to get on their website is the Little Things cover. It sold out so fast! Now I have to wait for a restock 🤞

[@hollyparmenter6925]

Ok. I am so excited for you!! Watching this video was extra fun for me, because my kids have traveled to Japan, and one has been twice. I hope it continues to be fun and profitable! ❤️❤️❤️

[@kqxx]

So cool you got to travel to Japan to buy in person. Wow good savings!

[@yesselcastillo7158]

Thank you for sharing!! I really loved this video! ❤

[@gwennyvir]

I’d love to see an in depth walkthrough of the weeks and HON!!👏❤

[@oliviatrelles]

Your videos are a joy to watch! I’m turning 50 in September and Japan will be my birthday trip. I’m also just dipping my toes into fountain pens but am a Japanese stationery nut! Looking forward to your upcoming videos 😊

[@timewithtata8004]

Have a wonderful trip and a happy 50th!! You are going to have a blast in Japan!

[@theartesana]

I can feel the excitement…what a time to be in Japan! Lovely! Are you familiar with Inky Rocks? I feel like you ladies would be a great creator match!❣️✨

[@charis_explores]

So fun! Thanks for sharing. 😊 I was able to snag my main want, the Twinkle Tweed in A6 size.

[@ligli500]

I'm going to be in Japan at the end of September, I hope they'll still have some items left!

[@CreatingCuteArt]

I can’t believe how busy it was! You definitely picked the perfect cover, it’s gorgeous. I’m very confused by Hobanichi systems and not sure what the different ones really are or do, but they appear in most of my fav planning creator’s vids so hopefully I’ll understand one day! 😂❤🎉

[@lzalab2286]

I ordered some hobonichi stuff from Yoseka and JetPens last night, on line the Hon was 77$ , but wow in Japan it's only 10$ 😄. Thank you for sharing your experience. I was just there in Japan last March of this year.

[@truebajansugar]

Hope to meet you at the Orlando Pen Show.🤗

[@hannkg7715]

Thanks that was so fun to watch!

[@seaseaseah9901]

I got the Nintendo weeks super happy! And I got the original with the blossom cover 😃

[@karendavidson6580]

Awesome video, love it! I'm thinking about the A5 notebook. I pre-ordered the Sterling Ink weeks for 2024. Im currently in the Techo original English version. I bought it online from the Hobonichi store. I like it a lot but want to try the vertical weeks layout in 2024. Thanks for sharing and look forward to your future videos

[@pinkskies8128]

(paused at 00:01:16) Oh my gosh, so excited for you! Now let's see what goodies you got from stationery HEAVEN (Japan). 🇯🇵❤

[@timewithtata8004]

Thank you!! I'm so excited to be home so I can dig in to everything!

[@metalmonkeyvideos]

Going to Japan would be a nice experience if one is doing several things besides shopping for the planner. If just going by the cost of the trip, one might normally save more buying online I think (if you are leaving from the US).

[@amycampbell2264]

I’m doing a cousin , two wks, an a6 hon, and cont my a5 5 year

[@finnegan517]

It’s like a candy store!

[@My_Journey_In_Life_On_Paper]

I order the purple and gray mega weeks and cousins all in English

[@lindadorman2869]

You may need to ask Jay on this one but....if we source internationally, can we write off some of the travel costs as a business expense?

[@teresap4367]

May I ask because I don't know. Why is your purchase sealed and why can't you open it until you get home? So exciting, that must have been a great experience!

[@salehelsileni3665]
