In the men's final, the defending Japanese champions Team Consadole skipped by Yuta Matsumura defeated the Yusuke Morozumi rink TM Karuizawa 7–2. Matsumura and Morozumi also met in the final of the 2020 Japan Curling Championships, with Matsumura winning 6–4 after nine ends. Team Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi, also of Karuizawa and the junior team of Takumi Maeda also qualified for the playoffs, with Yamaguchi winning the third place game 7–4 in an extra end.
