Yuzuru actually only trains in Canada a few weeks (5-6 weeks) before the competitions. For the rest of the time, he practices in Japan.
His schedule is usually like this:
In April or May, go to Canada to get new programs.
From May to August, he does ice shows and other obligations and rests in Japan.
In Mid-August, he goes to Canada to prepare for the new season because his first competition is usually in early October.
After the first grand prix, he will either train in Canada or in Japan depends on where his first grand prix competition is held. If the first grand prix is in the USA or Canada, he will train in Canada. If the first grand prix is in Europe or Asia, he will return to Japan to practice in order to minimize the travel. After the second grand prix (usually it's NHK), he will stay in Japan, go to GPF then return to Japan to compete at national.
After national, he will stay in Japan until February if he is not going to compete at 4CC/Olympics or return to Canada to train if he is going to compete at 4CC/Olympics.
In mid-February, he will start training in Canada to prepare for the WC (end of March/early April).
So he is in still Japan now because he is not competing in February.
