Japan were crowned winners of the International Blind Sports Federation Goalball Asia-Pacific Championships women’s competition in Chiba, while China secured the men’s title.
The women’s competition saw Japan bid for their third consecutive title.
The Japanese team took a 2-0 lead in the contest at the Chiba Port Arena, but China pulled a goal back to set up a nervy finish.
The hosts, though, held on to secure a 2-1 victory.
With Japan already qualified for next year's Paralympics as the host nation, China booked their place at the Games as the tournament runners-up.
South Korea claimed the bronze medal courtesy of a hard fought 3-2 victory over Australia.
