2025 Ohio Japan Bowl（高校生対象 日本の知識クイズ大会）
- Saturday, February 15 -
The Japan Bowl® is a Japanese language competition created by the Japan-America Society of Washington DC in 1992. The Japan Bowl tests the achievements of Japanese learners throughout the US and other countries. The Japan Bowl in the United States focuses on high school students.
What makes the Japan Bowl unique is that it goes beyond language and asks students about their knowledge of Japanese culture, society, daily life, history, geography, and current events. Participants compete as members of 3-person teams, based on how many years they have studied Japanese.

-
Level III, for students enrolled in Japanese 3 or an equivalent class
-
Level IV, for students enrolled in Japanese 4 or an equivalent class
AP Japanese students are eligible to participate in Level IV.
If they previously participated in Level IV because their school offers both Japanese 4 and AP Japanese, please contact JASCO at info@jascentralohio.org to determine eligibility.
