The 2025 Japanese mixed doubles curling Olympic trials will be held from September 25 to 28 at the Wakkanai City Midori Sports Park in Wakkanai, Japan.[1] The winning team will earn the right to represent Japan at the Olympic Qualification Event where they will need to finish in the top two to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.[2]
The event will be held in a double round robin format with the top two teams advancing to a best-of-five series which includes the results from their first two games.[1] The 2024 (Miyu Ueno & Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi) and 2025 (Chiaki Matsumura & Yasumasa Tanida) Japanese champions qualified by winning the previous two national titles while points leaders and world number six ranked Tori Koana & Go Aoki will also participate. By finishing ninth and thirteenth respectively at the 2024 and 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, Japan earned twenty Olympic qualification points, not enough to qualify the nation directly for the Games.[3]
