Tokyo International Audio Show

Tokyo International Audio Show has its roots in 1983, when the organization now known as the International Audio Society of Japan began holding the Import Audio Show. In 1997, after leading Japanese manufacturers joined the association, the exhibition adopted the Tokyo International Audio Show name and moved into the Tokyo International Forum. This history explains the show’s distinctive balance: it began as a showcase for elite imported products but evolved into a meeting place for both international and Japanese high-end audio.
