Career
Fujisawa's junior career began with a championship at the 2008 Pacific-Asia Junior Curling Championships over China's Sun Yue. This qualified her and her Japanese team for the 2008 World Junior Curling Championships, where they finished 7th with a 3-6 record. Fujisawa defended her Pacific-Asia Junior title by winning the 2009 Pacific-Asia Junior Curling Championships defeating China's Liu Jinli in the final. At the 2009 World Junior Curling Championships, she skipped Japan to a last place (10th) finish and a 2-7 record.
In 2011, Fujisawa played in her first non-junior international event, skipping for Japan at the 2011 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships. She placed 4th in the event, finishing with a 2-6 record. Fujisawa won her first World Curling Tour event in 2012 by winning the 2012 Shamrock Shotgun over the Korean national team, skipped by Kim Eun-jung. Later that year, she skipped Japan to a silver medal at the 2012 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships. Later in the season, she skipped the Japanese women's team to a 7th-place finish at the 2013 World Women's Curling Championship.
In 2015, Fujisawa joined the Mari Motohashi rink as the team's skip, moving back from Karuizawa to Kitami where Fujisawa had spent her junior days. The team then represented Japan at the 2015 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships, at which Japan won gold for the first time in ten years.
