Unlike most countries, Japan runs its own Monopoly Association. It has regular annual championships, and typically, a grand championship held the same year as as a World Championship to determine who will represent the country at the Worlds. The 2016 Japan Championship took place November 6, 2016 in Nara. One of the 2016 preliminary events was held October 23, 2016, in Tokai, and a second was held November 5th in Nara.[1] [2]
Tsutomu Doita won the last Grand Championship on June 14th, 2015.[3] Japan's Grand Champion in 2009 was Takahiro Ishii.
