Overview

The Ishida Gumi Concert Tour 2025 Japan is a nationwide tour by the elite string ensemble Ishida Gumi, formed in 2014 under the leadership of charismatic violinist Yasunao Ishida, featuring top musicians from Tokyo metropolitan orchestras (,). Running from January 26 to December 24, 2025, the tour spans 20 venues, including Fuji City Cultural Center Rose Theater (Shizuoka, Nov 2), Festival Hall (Osaka, Sep 15), Tokyo Electron Hall Miyagi (Miyagi, Oct 3), Kochi Prefectural Cultural Hall Orange Hall (Kochi, Dec 7), Sinfonia Iwakuni Concert Hall (Yamaguchi, Dec 14), and Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall (Kanagawa, Dec 24). The program blends classical masterpieces (Elgar, Tchaikovsky, Barber), tango (Piazzolla’s Adios Nonino, Libertango), and rock anthems (Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, Born to Love You, arranged by Asahi Matsuoka and Kazuaki Kondo). Praised on X for “electrifying versatility” and Ishida’s “captivating leadership,” the ensemble delivers a genre-crossing experience (). Venues range from intimate (500 seats) to large (2,700 seats), with tickets at ¥5,500 (S seats) and ¥4,000 (A seats), or ¥2,500/¥2,000 for under-25s. Osaka and Miyagi performances are sold out, with resale prices potentially reaching ¥6,500–¥8,000. Ideal for music lovers and tourists near Mount Fuji, Osaka Castle, or Sendai’s Tanabata sites, early booking via Jasumo is critical due to high demand and limited seating (,).

Disclaimer

Jasumo provides a specialized facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, assisting with ticket acquisition for cultural and music events, including the Ishida Gumi Concert Tour 2025 Japan, through authorized platforms like venue box offices, Kanagawa Arts Association, Kyodo Information, and Ticket Pia. We are not a ticket reseller and do not sell tickets directly. Our role is to guide international customers through the official booking process, addressing challenges such as:

• Language Barriers: Japan’s ticketing systems are primarily in Japanese, posing challenges for non-Japanese speakers. Jasumo offers bilingual support to ensure a seamless booking experience.
• Access to Local Platforms: Platforms like Ticket Pia require free membership, Japanese phone numbers, or specific payment methods. Jasumo assists with navigation and international payment options where available.
• High Demand and Limited Availability: With sold-out shows in Osaka and Miyagi, and small venues like Kochi (~500 seats), securing tickets is highly competitive due to Ishida Gumi’s acclaim (,). Jasumo helps manage sales deadlines, under-25 discounts, and accessibility requests to maximize your chances.

Due to high demand and limited availability, securing tickets is not guaranteed, especially for sold-out performances (Osaka, Miyagi) or smaller venues. Refunds will only be issued in the event of cancellation. We strongly recommend booking by the specified deadlines (e.g., Oct 25 for Shizuoka, Dec 5 for Yamaguchi) to access official prices of ¥2,000–¥5,500 and avoid inflated resale prices, e.g., ¥6,500. Official resale options are available ~5 days prior to each performance, and Jasumo can assist with monitoring these opportunities.
