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