The JFSA starts their contest series early in 2025, with the first event taking place in Kuki City in February. Participation fee depends on division, and will cost as follows:
Professional class: 5000 yen
Amateur class: 4000 yen
Senior class: 3000 yen
Beginner class: 3000 yen
Note that Senior and Beginners divisions will only take place if five or more skaters enter each division. If fewer than that enter, those skaters will be moved into the Amateur division.
Run times are a bit shorter than the Western standard, with 90 seconds for both Amateurs and Pros, and only 60 seconds for Seniors and Beginners.
Registration on the day is not possible, so register at the event website in advance if you intend to participate.
