Precision golf, cultural depth
Historic parkland, Mount Fuji views, exacting service and restorative onsen traditions create a golf journey unlike anywhere else.
Immaculate presentation and highly considered service.
Spring blossom and autumn colour transform the setting.
Clubhouse dining, ryokan stays and onsen rituals.
Golf combined with Tokyo, Kyoto and regional travel.
Three distinct golf journeys
Japan works best when golf is integrated into a broader cultural route rather than treated as a standalone resort break.
Tokyo and Mount Fuji
Choose this for Taiheiyo Gotemba, Kawana and an easy connection with Tokyo.
Kansai
Choose this for Hirono, Kyoto, Kobe and a deeper cultural itinerary.
Hokkaido
Choose this for cooler conditions, resort golf and a slower northern-island rhythm.
