The summer heat may still linger, but the atmosphere at Ariake is electric—the Kinoshita Japan Open, Japan’s only ATP tournament, is in full swing.
Each year, this event draws tennis fans from across the country, and this time, excitement is especially high with Carlos Alcaraz joining the lineup. Young fans have been gathering around the practice courts, hoping to catch a glimpse of their hero.
We’re also happy to see the event return to its more open format: Public viewing areas and official merchandise shops are now accessible to everyone, even without a ticket. It’s a refreshing shift that brings back the inclusive, vibrant spirit of past tournaments.
Personally, we love this change! It allows more people to feel the energy of the coliseum, connect with the players, and enjoy tennis in a more casual, welcoming way.
Whether you're a long-time fan or just curious, the Kinoshita Japan Open offers a chance to experience world-class tennis right here in Tokyo.
