Tokyo International Audio Show

This year marks the 42nd edition of the Tokyo International Audio Show, a premier event that brings together 33 exhibitors showcasing nearly 200 world-class audio brands. Visitors can explore everything from hi-fi systems, high-end stereos, SACD players, and turntables to the latest innovations in high-resolution streaming solutions.

Originally launched in 1983 as the Imported Audio Show, the event has grown into one of the most respected audio showcases in the world. It highlights outstanding international audio technology and culture through products from around the globe. Within the relaxed setting of the Tokyo International Forum, attendees can experience the unique charm of authentic, character-rich audio equipment. From the increasingly popular analog turntables to cutting-edge high-resolution products - and even rare high-end machines not often seen elsewhere - this show offers a valuable opportunity for music lovers of all ages.

The Tokyo International Forum provides an ideal venue, with seven floors of sound-isolated rooms that allow brands to demonstrate their systems without acoustic interference - perfect for true hi-fi listening. For enthusiasts of physical media such as vinyl and SACD, the show is a delight, as many exhibitors emphasize analog formats alongside modern digital and streaming solutions, reflecting a renewed passion among audiophiles. Both Japanese legends and international flagships will be on display, offering a unique balance of local innovation and global excellence.

Admission is free, but advance registration is required through the International Audio Society of Japan website.
