2019-20 Japanese Figure Skating Championships
December 18, 2019 - December 22, 2019
The Japan or All-Japan Figure Skating Championships (全日本フィギュアスケート選手権) are a figure skating national championship held annually 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.

Two-time Olympic figure skating champion Karl Schäfer (AUT) is especially remembered for inventing the Schäfer push—a backward outside push to start loops. He is also a seven-time World champion (1930–1936) and eight-time European champion (1929–1936).
