Notes

• Teams with * are company teams.
• Teams with "Un" are feeder (or "B") teams for their universities' main football teams.
• In the Regional Leagues, First divisions equals to Japanese fifth tier of league football, while 2nd divisions equals to the sixth tier. So, regional leagues who only have one single division, such as Shikoku, have teams going straight from the seventh to the fifth tier in case of a promotion.
