Partner Hall & Cities
Partner Hall
Bunkamura Orchard Hall
The Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra's partnership with Tokyu Bunkamura Orchard Hall began in 1989, the first such partnership between an orchestra and a concert hall in Japan. Located in a lively center of youth culture, Bunkamura was also Japan's first large scale multipurpose theater complex, encompassing music, theater, visual art, and film, on par with the world's great "shoe box" hall, such as the Musikvereinssaal in Vienna, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and Symphony Hall in Boston. The high flat ceiling and supporting walls produce a rich and stately sound field. The gorgeous foyer, serene auditorium, and comfortable intermission spaces promise full enjoyment of the lingering emotion of performances.

It is famed for "the spirit of 100 bales of rice," in reference to deciding to establish its educational system by selling a badly needed donation of rice they received, rather than consuming it, following the devastation of war at the beginning of the Meiji Era.
