Rated chess tournaments in the Tokyo area 15

These tournaments are rated, for FIDE, for the Japan Chess Federation's national list or for both. At Kyurian in Ōimachi the federation plays the Golden Week Open over three days in May at ninety minutes plus thirty seconds a move, alongside the national championship for seeded members, then the youth, cadet, women's, senior, rapid and team championships through the year. Level-Up tournaments are rated events kept for players below a rating limit.

The Japan Open is a long rated event in November, at X-Wave Makuhari in Chiba city in 2026. Akabane Chess Club's numbered FIDE rapid series runs in Kita ward, the Japan Collegiate Chess Championship was held at Science Tokyo, and the Kanagawa Chess Championship in Tsurumi, Yokohama, is a regional qualifier. Many entries require federation membership; each card says what its notice states.
