About the Fukui Entrance Japanese Exam

The Fukui Public High School Entrance Examination kokugo paper is one of five subject papers in the prefecture-wide academic examination administered by the Fukui Prefectural Board of Education for admission to prefectural public high schools. The 60-minute, 100-point exam covers kanji and vocabulary, grammar and language knowledge, modern expository and literary reading, classical Japanese (kobun), and kanbun. This page provides 100 original English-language practice items with explanations as a study adaptation; the official paper requires written constructed responses, which MCQ practice does not replace.

Assessment

In the Reiwa 8 (2026) general selection, kokugo is one of five academic subjects examined on February 18–19, 2026; the kokugo paper is on day 1 (February 18) together with mathematics and English. The paper lasts 60 minutes, is scored out of 100 points (500 across five subjects), and covers the MEXT junior-high kokugo curriculum. Unlike mathematics and English, kokugo has no school-selected A/B choice problems, and the paper regularly ends with a set writing task (kadai sakubun). A makeup exam is held February 25–26, 2026, with results announced March 3, 2026. For the Reiwa 8 and Reiwa 9 (2027) general selections the board publishes a list of grade-3 textbook pages excluded from the examinable range; from Reiwa 10 (2028) the full range is examined again. This local bank is an English-language study adaptation of 100 original MCQs; it does not reproduce official constructed-response or descriptive writing tasks.

Fukui Entrance Japanese Study Tips from Top Performers

1Drill grade-assigned kanji by writing, not just reading; homophone kanji selection in context is a frequent testing point.
2Underline demonstratives (kore/sore/are) and conjunctions when reading modern passages to track logic and referents.
3Master classical auxiliary verbs by meaning and connection form; kakari-musubi rules (ぞ/なむ/や/か → 連体形, こそ → 已然形) govern sentence endings.
4For kanbun, mark the kaeriten order first (レ点, 一二三), then add okurigana for a correct kakikudashi rendering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the whole grade-3 kokugo syllabus examinable?

Not for every year. For the Reiwa 8 (2026) and Reiwa 9 (2027) general selections the board published a list of grade-3 textbook pages excluded from the examinable range in all five subjects, kokugo included. From the Reiwa 10 (2028) general selection the examination returns to the full range, so check the official range notice for your own year before narrowing your revision.

Is the real Fukui kokugo entrance paper multiple-choice?

No. The official paper is answered in writing, mixing short knowledge items with passage-based constructed responses and descriptive answers. The MCQs here are an English-language study adaptation; practice writing out complete Japanese responses as well.

How long is the Fukui kokugo paper and how is it scored?

The kokugo paper lasts 60 minutes and is scored out of 100 points. Across all five subjects the academic examination totals 500 points, and admission combines these scores with the junior-high report (chousasho).

When is the Reiwa 8 (2026) kokugo examination?

In the general selection, kokugo is administered on day 1, February 18, 2026, together with mathematics and English. The application period is February 5–9, 2026, a makeup exam is held February 25–26, 2026, and results are announced March 3, 2026.
