Sadly, after 32 years, Kansai Tine Out magazine is finished. The Kobe-based, English language magazine about life in Japan has folded.
Sad stuff.
I made a video about it:

Whoa. Kansai Time Out is gone? That's terrible. I loved that magazine. Was even published in it more than once! Argh. Why!
Man that really stinks. KTO was my lifeline when I lived in Amagasaki back in the early '90s. I was just back there again in July and couldn't find any copies of the magazine on the counter at Kinokuniya in Umeda. I tried the website a couple nights ago and my old link didn't work so I had to Google it to find a different one. I saw the bridge cover you held up but didn't notice a mention of folding. Darn...
BTW, I've still got several back issues of KTO boxed up in my closet.
I remember being bummed out at the time... and now, after thumbing through a bunch of issues I still have... I am still bummed out. I miss that magazine.
What free type newspaper replaced it, and is it any good?
