Shogakukan has released the September 2026 issue of its outdoor magazine “BE-PAL.” The price is 1,500 yen. It is available at bookstores and online retailers.
The special bonus item is the “SOTO Minimal ‘Travel’ Wallet,” a tri-fold wallet with a carabiner created in collaboration with the outdoor brand “SOTO.” Despite its ultra-compact size—8 × 10.5 cm when folded and 21.5 × 10.5 cm when unfolded—it has ample space for bills, coins, and cards. The included carabiner allows you to attach it to a backpack or belt loop, making it ideal for travel, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
It comes in two colors—silver, reminiscent of SOTO stoves, and black, which is suitable for business settings—and one of these colors is included in the package.
The September issue’s major feature is “Head Out on the Coolest Adventure This Summer! How to Explore Aquariums & Museums.” From the world’s best aquarium, where you can see 100 species of jellyfish, to the National Museum of Japanese History, where you can take in approximately 37,000 years of culture in one go, and one of the world’s largest dinosaur museums, we’ve carefully selected and introduce 42 venues nationwide where parents and children can learn, experience, and be moved together.
