The Japan Open (currently sponsored by Kinoshita Group) is a men's tennis tournament held in Ariake Tennis Forest Park with its center court Ariake Coliseum, located in Koto, Tokyo. It has been held since 1972. In 2018, the venue switched to the Musashino Forest Sports Plaza as the Ariake Coliseum was renovated for the tennis events at the 2020 Summer Olympics. ^[2] The championship includes men's singles and doubles competitions. The "All-Japan Championships" was founded in 1922 (there had been another Japanese championships held once in 1915). Before 1972, the All-Japan championships was an international event (although in many years there were few overseas competitors) but after the Japan Open began, the All-Japan championships became a national event.

History

A Japanese championships was first held in 1915 when the British player G. A. Roper beat his compatriot H. C. M. Horne in the final in four sets. The event was held on the grounds of the Kobe Club in Mirume. The entries were few, as the native players of Tokyo and Yokohama wanted the meeting held in Tokyo, but that was impossible, as the Kobe club was the only club affiliated to the Lawn Tennis Association. ^[3]

The All-Japan Championships was first played in 1922 in Tokyo (a few months after the Japanese Tennis Association was formed) as a men's only tournament. ^[4] In 1924, a women's event was added to the programme. ^[4] The tournament has been mainly played in Tokyo throughout its long run but has also been staged in other cities such as Osaka in 1933, 1935, 1937, 1939. Following World War II, the event was sometimes known as the Japan International Championships until 1972.

The Japan Open was first held in 1972 as a minor ATP event and from 1973 was part of the Grand Prix tennis tour. The Japan Open was known as the "Tokyo Outdoor Grand Prix" between 1973 and 1989. From 1990 it was part of the ATP Tour. From 1979 until 2008, the Japan Open was a joint tournament for both men and women. This is no longer the case in the aftermath of the Ariake Coliseum hosting another women's professional tournament, the Pan Pacific Open. On the women's side, the Japan Open was held until 2014 on the WTA Tour, and then it was downgraded to a $100,000+H ITF Women's Circuit event. In 2019, the women's event was discontinued. The men's event is part of the ATP Tour 500 series level of tournaments

The All-Japan championships continues to this day ^{[5] [6]} but is a national event for Japanese players only, whilst the Japan Open took over the mantle as the Japan international event from 1972 onwards.
