Suntory Hall

The Suntory Hall (サントリーホール) is a concert venue in the central Akasaka district of Tokyo, Japan. Part of the Ark Hills complex, it consists of a main concert hall—widely considered one of the finest in the world for its acoustics—Herbert von Karajan called it "a jewel box of sound"—and a smaller side hall for chamber music. Its roof is an extended, tiered landscape garden. Construction began in the late 1970s, and the facility opened in October 1986.
