The complete chloroplast genome of Cryptomeria japonica var. sinensis Miquel was assembled and analyzed. The chloroplast genome of C. japonica var. sinensis Miquel did not have a typical quadripartite structure with the inverted repeats (IR) absent, and the size of C. japonica var. sinensis is 131,412 bp. The overall GC content was 35.4%. The genome encoded a set of 119 genes, containing 83 protein-coding genes, 32 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenomic analysis indicated that C. japonica var. sinensis is sister to C. japonica (Thunb. ex L. f.) D. Don.
