She competed at the Grand Prix Final in December and finished in sixth place after receiving under-rotation calls on four of her jumping passes in the free skate. After the free skate, she said: "Yesterday I was not anxious at all, but today I was quite stressed, so I think I was a little stiff. I’m a little disappointed that some of my jumps were unstable, and I think I still have progress to make. But I tried my best to skate confidently. I want to do my best at the Japan Championships." She was also selected as the first alternate for the 2025 World Championship team.
