Suntory Hall

How far out do I need to book a ticket to see the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra?

And what is the proper wear to this sort of thing in Japan? Planning on taking my girlfriend when she comes out to visit

You should check the official Suntory Hall homepage – it should have release date for tickets and online booking, I think?
If it’s a major performance they usually release tickets upwards 6 months in advance I think? Not really sure how quickly the tickets sell out – it depends on if there is a solo artist performing along the orchestra and who that is.
As for dress code – it’s very varied. I really haven’t seen people dress “up” more than usual, so smart casual / business casual is probably most common
Edit: obviously the Tokyo Phil homepage is also available to check :

I don’t know about the tickets, but I live and work near a performance hall. Whenever there’s an orchestra the gents usually wear a suit (neckties seemed optional), and in summer some didn’t wear jackets. Some ladies wore a simple dress (? what the japanese usually call a “one-piece”), some wore suits. Nobody wore overly obvious jewelry, and the hairstyles were also very simple.
