Machi no ZINE Fes: Music and Architecture at Seishin Chuo Hall 2026

Why You Should Visit

A market for ZINEs, the small-run booklets people make themselves, alongside books, art, handmade goods, secondhand books and sundries. This Seishin Chuo Hall edition takes music and architecture as its theme, so expect records and music-related stalls plus ZINEs about towns and buildings. DJs, workshops and talk sessions run through the day, with music playing while you browse. Entry is free and the venue is indoors, three minutes on foot from Seishin-chuo Station, so the weather makes no difference. It is the first of an autumn trilogy across three venues in Hyogo.
