Their flag is a logo on a white background, which can be seen at
a photo from a 2013 tournament that took place in Tokoro, Hokkaido. The
logo on this flag, which is no longer used in full on the JCA website,
has the word mark (JCA and the curling stone handle over the C, so the
C forms the stone) above a target. Above that graphic is the name of
the organization in English and Japanese (the English text does not
include the "Public Interest Incorporated Association" but the
Japanese name has it). Japan is a member of the Pacific-Asia Curling
Federation (PACF), which was formerly the Pacific Curling Federation.

For the local associations, there is only two flags I could spot. The
Hokkaido Curling Association, founded on February 8th, 1981, was one
of the oldest curling associations founded in Japan. The logo is a
curling target on a stylized map of Hokkaido. The name of the
association, in English, wraps around the bottom. The flag is this
logo on white. (Source) The Aomori
Curling Club, founded in 1986, has a banner that can be seen here. The emblem
information can be found here.
