The following week, they advanced to the second round at the Indonesia Open, marking their Super 1000 debut. The pair concluded the season by capturing the mixed doubles bronze medal at the 2021 World Championships in Huelva, Spain, following a semifinal defeat to compatriots Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino.[4]

Shinoya and Yamashita's best results on the 2022 World Tour were quarterfinal finishes at the Denmark Open and Australian Open. They ended the year by reaching their career-best world ranking of No. 13.

In 2023, Shinoya helped Japan win a bronze medal at the Sudirman Cup. On the World Tour, she and Yamashita reached the quarterfinals of the All England Open and the semifinals of the German Open and the Canada Open.

In the first half of 2024, Shinoya and Yamashita competed in mixed doubles to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Their best World Tour result was a quarterfinal finish at the Thailand Masters.[5] After failing to secure Olympic qualification, Shinoya retired from the national team in April, ending her partnership with Yamashita.[6]

Continuing to compete for her corporate team, NTT East, Shinoya partnered with Nao Yamakita in women's doubles and won the Malaysia International in September.[7] Shinoya officially concluded her professional playing career at the All Japan Championships in December, where she secured the mixed doubles title alongside Kazuki Shibata before formally announcing her retirement from the sport.[8]
