About the Aichi Entrance Japanese Exam
The Aichi Public High School Entrance Examination Japanese paper (kokugo) is one of the five subject papers in the prefecture-wide academic examination administered by the Aichi Prefectural Board of Education for admission to prefectural public high schools. In the R8 (2026) general selection, every applicant to a full-time course sits all five subjects — Japanese, social studies, mathematics, science, and English — each in 45 minutes and scored out of 22 points. The Japanese paper follows the MEXT Course of Study for junior high school and tests modern evaluative prose, modern literature, classical Japanese, and kanbun through passage-based questions, plus kanji, vocabulary, and grammar knowledge. Since the R5 (2023) selection every answer in the full-time general selection is marked on a mark sheet, adopted so that all schools mark to one standard. Results are combined with the junior-high school report (chousasho) for admission; there is no single passing score. This page provides 100 original practice items as a study adaptation — not official questions, and not an official translation.
Assessment
The real Aichi Japanese subject is one of the five academic subjects (kokugo, shakai, suugaku, rika, eigo) of the prefecture-wide general selection written examination. It is built around reading passages in four strands — modern evaluative prose, modern literature, classical Japanese (kobun), and kanbun — with kanji, vocabulary, and grammar items embedded. Since the R5 (2023) selection the full-time general selection is answered entirely on a mark sheet, so the official item type is selected-response, as it is here; option counts vary by item and some items must be answered completely (kantou) to score. This local bank is a study adaptation aligned to the same MEXT junior-high curriculum content: the items are original and written in Japanese where Japanese is the skill being tested, but it is not an official paper and not an official translation.
Time Limit
45 minutes for the Japanese subject paper (R8 / 2026 general selection)
Passing Score
No fixed pass mark; each subject paper is scored out of 22 points and admission combines academic test results with the junior-high school report (chousasho)
Exam Fee
JPY 2,200 entrance examination fee for the full-time general selection (R8 / 2026); JPY 950 for the part-time course; none for the correspondence course (Aichi Prefectural Board of Education)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the real Aichi Japanese entrance paper multiple-choice?
Yes, in the sense that answers are selected rather than written. Since the R5 (2023) selection the full-time general selection is answered entirely on a mark sheet, which the board introduced so that every school marks to an identical standard. Option counts vary by item and some items must be answered completely (kantou) to score, so the local four-option items are close to, but not identical with, the official layout.
How long is the Aichi Japanese paper and how is it scored?
The Japanese subject paper lasts 45 minutes and is scored out of 22 points under the current Aichi general selection. Admission combines all five subject results with the junior-high school report (chousasho); there is no fixed passing score.
Does this bank replace classical Japanese and composition practice?
No. The kobun and kanbun items here train vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension decisions, but they are original items and cover only part of what the paper can ask. Work through the official past problems on the Aichi prefecture website for authentic passages, and note that composition (sakubun) appears in the recommendation and tokushoku selections rather than the general-selection Japanese paper.
Who administers the exam and what does it cost?
The Aichi Prefectural Board of Education administers the selection. The R8 (2026) entrance examination fee is JPY 2,200 for the full-time general selection, JPY 950 for the part-time course, and free for the correspondence course.
Where can I find official past papers?
The Aichi prefecture website publishes the current year's problems, answer sheets, and answer keys (for example, the R8 entrance examination problems page on pref.aichi.jp).
