Japan Junior Figure Skating Championships
The 2000–01 Japan Junior Figure Skating Championships took place at the Nagoya Rainbow Hall between November 25 and 26, 2000.
The following skaters placed high enough at Novice Nationals to be invited to compete here: Miki Ando (1st in Novice, 3rd in Junior) and Takahiko Kozuka (1st in novice, 18th in Junior).
Although normally under the rules, a podium finish in the Ladies event on the Junior level would bring an invitation to compete at the senior level, twelve years old Miki Ando was not able to be invited due to her age and skating level.
