The All-Japan Artistic Gymnastics Championships () is one of Japan's major artistic gymnastics competition, hosted by the Japan Gymnastic Association. The first edition took place in 1947, and the championships has been held annually since then. Competitions are held in men's and women's individual all-around, team, and individual apparatus events.
Tournament Format Individual All-Around Championships For both men and women, the preliminaries are held on the first day and the finals on the second day. Men compete in six events—floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar- while women compete in four events—vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise—with the total score determining the final standings. The top 36 men and the top 24 women from the preliminaries advance to the finals. The top finishers in the finals advance to the NHK Trophy Artistic Gymnastics Championship, which also serves as the final selection event for international competitions.
Team Championships Each team consists of six members for both men and women (this may vary if there are insufficient participants). The events are the same as those in the Individual All-Around Championships, but three members from each team perform in each event, and the teams compete for the highest total score.
Individual Event Championships For both men and women, the preliminaries are held on the first day and the finals on the third day. The top 8 qualifiers in each event of the Individual All-Around Championships advance to the finals.
