Machi no ZINE Fes NightMarket at Han-ama Chuo Park 2026

Why You Should Visit

An outdoor market from late afternoon into the evening on the plaza in front of Hanshin Amagasaki Station, a gateway used by 50,000 people a day. Alongside ZINEs, art and handmade goods there are food trucks, workshops and performances. It starts at 15:00 and runs to 20:00, so you can walk it once in daylight and again after dark. Entry is free. This is the closing chapter of the autumn trilogy touring Hyogo.

FAQ

Is there an entry fee?

Entry is free and no booking is needed. You pay each stall directly for purchases and food.

Is it suitable for children in the evening?

It opens at 15:00, so the earlier hours are easy with children. The venue is the station plaza, so the train home is right there.

What happens if it rains?

It is outdoors on the station plaza, so severe weather may change or cancel the programme. Any decision is posted on the Machi no ZINE Fes official site and social media.
