Overview

The Night Piano Japan 2025 Season is a prestigious concert series at Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall in Kanagawa Prefecture, showcasing a stellar lineup of world-renowned pianists: Can Çakmur (Oct 1, 2025), Haochen Zhang (Nov 7, 2025), Igor Levit (Nov 25, 2025), Kirill Gerstein and Mao Fujita (Dec 16, 2025), Tomoki Sakata (Jan 27, 2026), and Aimi Suzuki (Feb 26, 2026). Held at 19:00 in the vineyard-style Muza Kawasaki (~1,997 seats), known for its exceptional acoustics (), the series features diverse programs, including Beethoven’s Sonata No. 32 (Suzuki), Schubert and Chopin sonatas (Levit), and Weber’s works (Sakata). Praised on X for “unparalleled artistry” and Çakmur’s “lyrical brilliance,” the season attracts global music lovers. Tickets range from ¥2,000 (P seats) to ¥4,000 (S seats), with six-performance set tickets sold out. Resale prices may reach ¥3,000–¥6,000 due to high demand. Ideal for classical music enthusiasts and tourists near Kawasaki’s Lazona Plaza, early booking via Jasumo is critical due to limited seating and the artists’ acclaim (,).

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 Night Piano Japan 2025 Season, through authorized platforms like Kanagawa Arts Association 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 a venue capacity of ~1,997 and the global appeal of artists like Levit, Gerstein, and Fujita (,,), securing premium seats like S seats is highly competitive, especially for the sold-out Dec 16 performance. Jasumo helps manage sales deadlines and accessibility requests to maximize your chances.

Due to high demand and limited availability, securing tickets is not guaranteed, particularly for the sold-out Gerstein-Fujita recital (Dec 16). Refunds will only be issued in the event of cancellation. We strongly recommend booking by the specified deadlines (e.g., Sep 25 for Oct 1, Feb 15 for Feb 26) to access official prices of ¥2,000–¥4,000 and avoid inflated resale prices, e.g., ¥5,000. Official resale options are available ~5 days prior to each performance, and Jasumo can assist with monitoring these opportunities.
