Later in the same month, she appeared at her first ISU Championship, placing 34th at the World Championships in Boston.

In the 2016–2017 season, Yamada became the Swiss national champion.[5] She placed 27th at the 2017 European Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic, and 33rd at the 2017 World Championships in Helsinki, Finland.
