Japan Figure Skating Championships Explained

The Japan or All-Japan Figure Skating Championships (Japanese: 全日本フィギュアスケート選手権) are a figure skating national championship held annually since 1930, to determine the national champions of Japan. Skaters compete in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, although not every discipline has been held every year due to a lack of competitors. Skaters compete at the senior level; Junior level skaters compete at the Japan Junior Figure Skating Championships.
