HESO Magazine is a bimonthly, bilingual (English/Japanese) culture magazine based in Tokyo (Kantō) and Fukuoka Prefecture (Kyūshū). Every issue has a theme, and features the work of famous photographers, interviews, music, art, poetry and articles of social and cultural interest.

Founded in Fukuoka in 2004 by Manny Santiago, initially Heso (臍 in Japanese means navel) grew from a self-printed, hand-folded, stapled zine to its current full-color format.

Heso is known for regularly featuring NPOs Nonprofit organizations and NGOs Non-governmental organizations, interviews with prominent Japanese House of Councillors members (the Finnish-born Tsurunen Marutei & Ryuhei Kawada), and musicians, photographers, poets and artists working all over the world.
