Japan competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia from 7 to 23 February 2014. Japan's team consisted of 136 athletes in all 15 sports. The use of Russian alphabet placed it last before the host nation in the Parade of Nations.{{cite news |date=20 January 2014 |title=Uemura added to Sochi squad |url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2014/01/20/more-sports/uemura-added-to-sochi-squad/#.UwD_6vldWuI |newspaper=Japan Times |access-date=16 February 2014 |archive-date=22 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222184612/http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2014/01/20/more-sports/uemura-added-to-sochi-squad/#.UwD_6vldWuI |url-status=dead }}

The 2014 Games marked the first time a Japanese Olympic team competed in Russia, as Japan and 64 western countries did not take part at the American-led boycott in the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow due to the Soviet–Afghan War.

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attended the opening ceremony, wanting to show the Russians how important the relationship between the two countries is.{{cite news |last=Mizuho |first=Aoki |date=24 January 2014 |title=As Western leaders decide to shun Sochi, Abe will go |url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/01/24/national/as-western-leaders-decide-to-shun-sochi-abe-will-go/#.UwD_4PldWuI |newspaper=Japan Times |access-date=16 February 2014 |archive-date=22 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222184607/http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/01/24/national/as-western-leaders-decide-to-shun-sochi-abe-will-go/#.UwD_4PldWuI |url-status=dead }}
