2024 Japan Curling Championships

The 2024 Japan Curling Championships were held from January 28 to February 4 at the Hokkaido Bank Curling Stadium in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. The winning teams earned the right to represent Japan at the 2024 World Men's Curling Championship and the 2024 World Women's Curling Championship respectively.
Both the men's and women's events were played in three rounds, a change in format from previous years. Similar to the Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the ten teams were split into two pools of five. The top three teams in each group advanced to the championship round where they crossed over and played the three teams from the opposing pool. Following the conclusion of the championship round, the first-place team advanced directly to the final with the second and third place teams playing in the semifinal.
