Greetings from the Hobonichi Techo team! We suppose that some of you have already begun using your January-start 2017 techos, and that others among you are eagerly awaiting the day when you can begin using your April-start ones!
Here on the Hobonichi Techo team, we are already busy with planning and production for the 2018 Hobonichi Techo.
The Hobonichi Techo, which will celebrate its 15th birthday this year, was born from the desire to create the type of techo that we ourselves hoped to use.
Ever since the first Hobonichi Techo was born in 2002, we have gradually been making improvements to the techo each year based upon careful consideration of the comments we have received from users.
Thanks to all of you, we are thrilled that our techos are now used by a total of around 610,000 people, not only in Japan but all around the world! This figure is also continuing to grow. To each of you, we would like to convey our greatest appreciation.
2017 Hobonichi Techo Questionnaire
In order to ensure that our techo will continue bringing joy to our users, we are pleased to again offer the Hobonichi Techo Questionnaire this year.
We would love to receive your honest feedback on our techos. Any concerns you may have; improvements you'd like us to make; things you want us to keep just as they are; new ideas for how to use the techo: anything at all you'd like to share with us about the Hobonichi Techo.
After receiving your feedback, we will put your comments into action for the Hobonichi Techo in 2018 and beyond—as well as for our events and feature articles.
The deadline for answering the questionnaire is 11 a.m. on Monday, March 6 (Japan time). So whenever you get a moment, grab your Hobonichi Techo and let us hear your thoughts!
