About the Fukushima Entrance Japanese Exam
The Fukushima Public High School Entrance Examination kokugo paper is set by the Fukushima Prefectural Board of Education. The single 50-minute, 50-point paper, administered on March 4, 2026 in the Reiwa 8 early selection (zenki senbatsu), is a written exam on the MEXT junior-high Course of Study covering kanji and vocabulary, grammar, modern expository and literary reading, classical Japanese (kobun), and kanbun, with constructed-response and composition tasks. Admission combines the five-subject scores (250 points) with the junior-high report (chousasho). This page provides 100 original English-language practice questions with detailed explanations as a study adaptation — not an official translation or a simulation of the official format.
Assessment
The real Fukushima kokugo examination is a 50-minute paper scored out of 50 points (250 total across five subjects); in the Reiwa 8 (2026) general selection it was sat on March 4, 2026, with interviews on March 4-6 and results announced via the web system on March 16 (viewable until March 24). It is set prefecture-wide on the MEXT junior-high Course of Study and is answered in writing, including constructed-response and composition work. The general selection combines the academic test with the chousasho, weighted equally in principle, with schools permitted to weight specific subjects; attendance records are not used for Reiwa 8. A late selection at under-filled schools (application March 17-18, interview March 24, results March 25) uses only the chousasho, an interview, and a short essay with no academic test. This local bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation providing 100 original practice items.

Fukushima Entrance Japanese Study Tips from Top Performers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the real Fukushima kokugo entrance paper multiple-choice?
No. The official paper is answered in writing in Japanese, mixing short knowledge items with passage-based constructed responses and composition work. The MCQs here are an English-language study adaptation — not an official translation or format simulation — so practice writing out complete Japanese responses and compositions as well.
Are these questions official past exam problems?
No. The Fukushima Prefectural Board of Education does not publish the exam as a multiple-choice set. This bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the MEXT junior-high Course of Study; it cannot replace the official paper's written constructed-response and composition tasks, so keep practicing free writing in Japanese separately.
How long is the kokugo paper and what is the maximum score?
The kokugo paper is a single 50-minute exam scored out of 50 points, administered on March 4, 2026 in the Reiwa 8 early selection (zenki senbatsu). The five subjects total 250 points, and admission combines these scores with the junior-high report (chousasho), weighted equally in principle, though schools may apply weighted scoring to specific subjects.
What is the Reiwa 8 (2026) application and results schedule?
Applications were accepted February 2-6, 2026 through the newly introduced WEB application system. The academic examination was held on March 4, 2026, interviews on March 4-6, and results were announced via the web system on March 16, 2026, viewable until March 24. A late selection at under-filled schools uses only the chousasho, an interview, and a short essay (application March 17-18, interview March 24, results March 25), with no academic test.
What parts of the junior-high kokugo curriculum does the exam cover?
The paper covers the MEXT junior-high kokugo curriculum: grade-assigned kanji and vocabulary, grammar and language knowledge including honorific language (keigo), modern expository and literary reading, classical Japanese (kobun), and kanbun. This bank distributes its 100 items across those strands, plus writing and response-planning items that support the official composition work.
Do these details apply to the next (Reiwa 9 / 2027) entrance examination?
The figures on this page describe the Reiwa 8 cycle, whose academic examination was sat on March 4, 2026. The Fukushima Prefectural Board of Education published its Reiwa 9 (2027 entry) school-by-school selection-method list on July 14, 2026 and has scheduled the full Reiwa 9 implementation guidelines for early October 2026. The five-subject, 50-minute, 50-point structure has been stable across recent cycles, but confirm the Reiwa 9 dates and rules on the board's own page before relying on them.
