On the final day, the 25th, a men's large hill was held.

Daiki Ito was second, Junshiro Kobayashi was third, and Ryoyu Kobayashi, who was third overall in the World Cup last season, was seventh, and 48-year-old veteran Noriaki Kasai was ninth.
"I'm frankly happy because I was aiming for it."
Yukiya Sato, who won the championship at Large Hill following Normal Hill on the 24th, said, "I'm frankly happy because I was aiming for it. The first time was not so good as a jump, but the conditions were good. The second time was Hakuba. I think I was able to make the best jump since I came. "
On top of that, he said, "I don't think I can compete with the top players in the world as it is. I want to do my best as a member of the Japanese team."
In addition, 48-year-old veteran Noriaki Kasai, who was in 9th place, said, "I'm sorry that the distance would have increased by about 3 meters if there was a little more wind, but I felt that I was able to make a good jump. I've come this far with a feeling, so I want to show a dynamic jump so that I can beat the World Cup members in the next tournament. "
