In 1972, the tournament was cancelled by the sponsor, the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, because of political tensions[2] and replaced on the circuit by the Sobu International Open.[3]

Peter Thomson won the 1962 event, finishing eight strokes ahead of Canadian Al Balding.[4] The following year the event was won by Doug Sanders, five ahead of Hideyo Sugimoto.[5]
