How to read the chart

“Enter here” marks the first event you can enter yourself. “Qualify” marks an event you reach by finishing near the top in the event before it. Dotted boxes are ways in that skip the qualifiers (exemptions, results in other events, rankings) or events that are not in the chart. We only use events listed on this site and conditions we have confirmed in the guidelines. Some series have other qualifiers too. Numbers and conditions change from year to year, so always check each event’s official guidelines (in Japanese).

To a national championship: golf federations

National championships run by the Japan Golf Association (JGA), the Japan LPGA (JLPGA) and the junior high school golf federation. Finish near the top in an event run by your regional golf union or similar body to go on to the national championship.

National Elementary School Golf Tournament (JGA)

ElementaryOrganizer: Japan Golf Association (JGA)

There is no direct entry. Top finishers in each regional golf union’s elementary school event qualify. In Kanto there are two stages: prefecture block qualifiers → Kanto Elementary School Golf Tournament (final) → national. The Hokkaido and Chubu qualifiers are not shown because we have not confirmed them in the guidelines.
