The Japan Philharmonic Orchestra (日本フィルハーモニー交響楽団 , Nihon Firuhāmonī　Kōkyō Gakudan) is a Japanese symphony orchestra based in Tokyo, with administrative offices in Suginami. The orchestra's current chief conductor is Pietari Inkinen, since 2016.
The Japan Philharmonic Orchestra was founded on June 22, 1956, as the exclusive subsidiary orchestra under the Nippon Cultural Broadcasting. Akeo Watanabe served the first chief conductor of the orchestra, from 1950 to 1968, with the titles of music director, permanent conductor, and executive director. Watanabe recorded the symphonies of Jean Sibelius with the orchestra twice, first in the 1960s for Nippon Columbia Company, and second for Denon, recorded in 1981. In 1958, the orchestra gave the first Japanese performance of Debussy's Pelleas and Melisande (opera), conducted by Jean Fournet.

The orchestra formed a regular relationship with Suginami City in July 1994. The orchestra also established a residency in Yokohama at the Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall in 1998. The Suginami Public Hall was re-opened, after remodeling, in June 2006, which the orchestra uses for rehearsals and other events. The orchestra reorganised its financial basis in 2013, transitioning to a publicly held foundation basis.

Star Dancers Ballet was founded in 1965 following a successful performance produced by SDB founder Ruriko Tachikawa, where famous dancers from Japanese ballet companies joined and performed under the direction of a great choreographer Antony Tudor.

With the aim to provide ballets to as wide audience in Japan as possible, SDB has been creating original ballets including ‘The Nutcracker’ and ‘Ballet Dragon Quest’ while performing world-renowned works by choreographers such as Sir Peter Wright, George Balanchine and William Forsythe.

Star Dancers Ballet School offers high quality ballet classes to wide range of students from children to adults. Junior Company established in 2015 provides talented young dancers with training by experienced teachers and company dancers for both classical and contemporary ballets.
