The Kinoshita Group Japan Open Tennis Championships (Japanese: ジャパン女子オープンテニス), currently sponsored by the Kinoshita Group (formerly HP Open), is a professional tennis tournament played annually on outdoor hardcourts in Osaka, Japan. It is a WTA 250 event on the WTA Tour. As successor to the Japan Open (where men and women played simultaneously, up to 2008) the event was held in women-only format for the first time in 2009, and was the second tournament of the season held in Japan: the Pan Pacific Open, a Premier 5 tournament, was held two weeks before. In 2015, the event was moved from Osaka to Tokyo and in 2018 to Hiroshima, before returning to Osaka in 2023 after a three-year hiatus.
