Japanese high school sports – July 2026

Overview

The Inter-High soccer meet moved to Kansai in late May, with Shiga and Kyoto hosting qualifiers where Kyoto Kyoei Gakuen advanced via penalty shoot-out. June track-and-field regional qualifiers saw Otsu Commercial High School’s Aina Tsuchida qualify for nationals in the 5,000-metre race-walk.

In June, Kyoto International High School entered the local baseball tournament as a non-seeded team aiming for a third consecutive title. The 108th National High School Baseball Championship Kyoto tournament opened on July 4 at Wakasa Stadium with 75 schools. Following rain delays on July 6, play resumed on July 7-8, featuring a Ryukoku Dahei shutout and Kyoto Kogakuin’s first summer win in nine years. A July 9 survey in Ishikawa showed strong opposition to a proposed seven-inning format.

On July 10, Higashiyama High School defeated Ayabe High School in the second round, while the 59th Seluma Cup U-12 soccer finals were held. On July 19, pitcher Kawasaka threw an eight-inning no-hitter for East Mountain High School. On July 20, Kyoto International faced Otsukuni, and the All-Prefecture Middle-School Softball Tournament took place in Akita.

On July 21, the Kansai High School Swimming Championships featured podium finishes for Kyoto Gakuin Ouwatari High School athletes Aonuma and Miyamoto. The Kyoto prefectural delegation for the national Inter-High was also announced. On July 24, Toyoura High School held a joint soccer practice, and Kenzaro Teraji won the WBO super-flyweight title. Ritsumeikan Uji High School claimed the Kyoto baseball title on July 27 by defeating Toba High School 10-3. Later, the tournament highlighted dominant pitchers and launched a new lower-division newcomer tournament. In August, Rakuhoku women’s handball secured a runner-up finish at the Inter-High Championships.
