Kinoshita Group Japan Open
Kinoshita Group Japan Open takes place Sep 28 - Oct 4, 2026 (dates to confirm) in Tokyo, Japan. The dress code is Neat casual; the Ariake arena is covered and comfortable. Typical cost ranges from 250 to 1600 EUR per person.
The oldest tennis tournament in Asia, founded in 1972 and now an ATP 500 at the Ariake Colosseum in Tokyo's bayside Koto ward. The retractable-roofed arena and the surrounding Ariake Tennis Forest Park make it an easy, orderly spectator experience, and the tournament reliably attracts top-ten entries during the autumn swing. Kei Nishikori has said he will retire at the end of the 2026 season, which makes this his likely home farewell.

How to attend
Open to the public. Session tickets sell through the official Japan Open site and Japanese vendors such as Ticket Pia and Lawson from late summer; early rounds at Ariake are affordable and popular evening and finals sessions go first. Reach the venue on the Yurikamome line to Ariake or the Rinkai line to Kokusai-Tenjijo. Confirm exact dates on the official site, as the ATP Asian swing shifts each year.
Insider tip
Japanese crowds go almost silent during points and applaud both players equally, so the Ariake Colosseum is one of the few big arenas where you can hear the ball off the strings from the upper tier.
