Sumitomolife Izumi Hall

Sumitomolife Izumi Hall is a concert venue in the Osaka Business Park with 821 seats arranged in a rectangular layout. The ceiling and walls are specially constructed to distribute sound evenly throughout the space and create clear, balanced acoustics.

The hall opened in 1990, founded by Sumitomo Life Insurance to promote cultural performances in Osaka. Its creation was part of a larger effort by the company to support the arts in the city.

The name reflects the Sumitomo Life company that created it, and today it serves as a meeting point for music lovers across the city. People come here to experience orchestral concerts, chamber music, and solo performances, making it an important part of Osaka's musical life.

The hall is a 5-minute walk from Osakajokoen Station on the JR Loop Line, with an alternative entrance 10 minutes from Osaka Business Park Station. You can reach the venue easily without long walks from either station.

The building houses a French-made pipe organ crafted by experts renowned for fine craftsmanship. Additionally, there is a 1800s fortepiano made by Nanette Streicher, a celebrated instrument builder whose work shaped early piano music.
