The 2021 Japan Curling Championships (branded as the 38th Zen-Noh Japan Curling Championships) were held from February 8 to 14 at the Wakkanai City Midori Sports Park in Wakkanai, Hokkaido, Japan.^[1] Both the men's and women's events were played in a round robin format which qualified four teams for a page playoff.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was reduced from its usual nine teams to just seven teams. The winning teams earned the right to represent Japan at the 2021 World Men's Curling Championship and the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship respectively.^[2]

The 2021 championship served as a qualifier to Team Japan for the 2022 Winter Olympics for both Consadole's Yuta Matsumura and Loco Solare's Satsuki Fujisawa. Because Consadole won their third straight national title, they were named the Japanese representatives for the 2021 Olympic Qualification Event. Loco Solare lost in the final to Hokkaido Bank's Sayaka Yoshimura, forcing a best-of-five trial between the two rinks to determine who would represent Japan at the qualification event.^[3]
