The exercise involved 300 people, eight patrol vessels, three helicopters and two aircraft on the assumption a suspicious boat tried to get away after being seen by a helicopter.
In the drill, the patrol boat Hamanasu acted as a suspicious vessel and then engaged in a gun battle with patrol ships, firing blanks.
About 900 guests and others watched the drill on another patrol vessel, the Tsugaru.
Japan will become chair of the G-8 next year and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe earlier this year picked the Lake Toyo area as the site for the 2008 G-8 summit.
The G-8 groups Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States.
