The All Japan High School Soccer Tournament (全国高等学校サッカー選手権大会 zenkoku kōtō gakkō sakka senshuken taikai?) of Japan, commonly known as "Winter Kokuritsu" (冬の国立 Fuyu no Kokuritsu), is an annual nationwide high school association football tournament. It is the largest scale amateur sport event in Japan, even as soccer continues to gain more attention.
The tournament, organized by the Japan Football Association, All Japan High School Athletic Federation and Nippon Television, takes place during the winter school vacation period, culminating in a two-week final tournament stage with 48 teams in December to January at National Olympic Stadium and National Capital Region side.
