Golf in Japan is more than a sport—it’s a deeply respected tradition. From the moment you step into the clubhouse, every detail is handled with care and quiet ceremony. Expect to receive a personalised locker key on arrival and change into golf shoes in the locker room, where neat etiquette is part of the experience. Many courses feature professional caddies – highly skilled, uniformed, and impeccably courteous. Golf carts are commonly used but must remain on designated cart paths, with remote control trolleys or caddie assistance handling the clubs. Each course has been carefully selected for this tour, offering not just championship-quality layouts, but also unique scenery—from forested valleys to dramatic coastlines and mountain backdrops.
Camellia Hills Country Club – Tokyo
A private members’ course rarely accessed by international guests, Camellia Hills is immaculately presented with tree-lined fairways, gentle elevation changes, and a peaceful atmosphere. The course is known for its pristine condition and a warm welcome, setting the tone for the rest of the tour. Expect a true Tokyo golfing experience—refined, understated, and elegant.
Dai Hakone Country Club – Hakone
Nestled within the volcanic landscape of the Hakone National Park, Dai Hakone offers wide fairways, open views, and a layout that is as beautiful as it is playable. The course meanders through forests and hills, offering panoramic vistas at every turn. The mountain air and onsen surroundings make it a truly relaxing round—and a fine introduction to golf in the Japanese countryside.
Kawana Hotel – Oshima Course
The Oshima Course offers a more relaxed round with wide fairways and scenic views over the ocean. It’s a brilliant warm-up to the more demanding Fuji Course. Designed in 1928, Oshima has the feel of a seaside links with Japanese touches—classic, breezy, and highly enjoyable.
Kawana Hotel – Fuji Course
Consistently ranked among the top courses in the world, the Fuji Course is the crown jewel of Japanese golf. Designed by C.H. Alison and opened in 1936, it features elevated greens, sweeping ocean views, and an iconic back nine that hugs the cliffs above Sagami Bay. With Fuji-san often visible on the horizon, this is a spiritual round as much as a sporting one. Walking-only and played with local caddies, the Fuji Course is pure, authentic golf at its finest.
Seta Golf Club – North Course (Kyoto)
Located just outside Kyoto, Seta North is a championship-calibre layout that has hosted multiple professional events. The course is expertly maintained with rolling terrain, water features, and strategic bunkering. Played with caddies, this round offers both challenge and charm in equal measure.
Arima Royal Golf Club – Noble Course (Kobe)
Designed by Robert Von Hagge, the Noble Course at Arima Royal is as elegant as its name suggests. With sweeping fairways framed by pine and maple trees, this parkland-style layout emphasises strategy over power. It’s a thoughtful, peaceful round that reflects the refined sensibility of Japanese course architecture.
Golden Valley Golf Club
A true championship course, Golden Valley is often ranked among the most challenging and rewarding courses in Japan. With water coming into play on several holes and bold design features throughout, it offers a fitting final round. The fairways are immaculate, the greens fast and true, and the setting—surrounded by forested mountains—is nothing short of stunning.
Each hotel on this tour has been handpicked to reflect the essence of its region – balancing timeless luxury, cultural character, and seamless comfort. Standard rooms are included throughout, offering five-star quality at every stop. At Kawana Hotel, guests enjoy a special upgrade to Premium Oceanview Rooms, adding a spectacular layer to this already iconic stay.

Discover Japan Beyond the Greens
While the golf on this tour is world-class, the cultural experiences are just as unforgettable. Japan offers a captivating contrast of old and new—where ancient temples sit quietly among neon skylines, and centuries-old traditions still guide everyday life. Our sightseeing program is carefully designed to immerse you in the richness of Japanese culture without ever feeling rushed. Throughout the tour, you’ll enjoy private guided experiences in Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, and Nara. Each destination has its own unique rhythm and story, and we’ve chosen highlights that offer depth, beauty, and insight. Travelling in a small group with local experts ensures an experience that is personal, seamless, and authentic.
Tokyo – Tradition in the Heart of a Megacity
Your journey begins in Tokyo, where we explore some of the city’s most iconic cultural sites. Stroll through Asakusa, one of the city’s oldest districts, home to the famous Sensoji Temple and the bustling Nakamise Shopping Street filled with traditional crafts and street food. Step into the past at the Edo-Tokyo Museum, which tells the story of how this city transformed from a samurai town to the modern capital. The tour also includes an immersive visit to TeamLab, a cutting-edge digital art installation that blurs the boundaries between nature, light, and imagination.
Optional free-time suggestions in Tokyo include:
Visiting the Meiji Shrine and Harajuku for a walk through Tokyo’s youth and spiritual culture
Exploring Shibuya Crossing, the world’s busiest intersection
A visit to the Tokyo Skytree or Roppongi Hills for panoramic city views
A guided food tour in Tsukiji Outer Market for a taste of local culinary delights
Hakone – Nature, Lakes & Mt. Fuji Views
During our transfer to Hakone, enjoy a picturesque cruise on Lake Ashi, followed by a ride on the Komagatake Ropeway, which offers stunning views of Mount Fuji (weather permitting). Hakone is also known for its natural hot springs, traditional ryokans, and serene landscapes. While your stay here is more relaxed, the natural beauty and peaceful mountain air create a wonderful counterbalance to the urban energy of Tokyo.
Kyoto – The Soul of Old Japan
In Kyoto, Japan’s former imperial capital, you’ll explore sites that define the country’s cultural identity. Wander through the bamboo forest of Arashiyama, visit the Zen gardens of Tenryuji Temple, and take in the views from the hillside Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Walk along the charming Sannenzaka Street, lined with teahouses and artisan shops, before marvelling at the iconic Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion)—a temple covered entirely in gold leaf and reflected in its surrounding pond.
Optional free-time suggestions in Kyoto include:
Experiencing a traditional Geisha performance or tea ceremony
Visiting the Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its thousands of red torii gates
Taking a private cooking class or sake tasting session
Exploring the Kyoto Imperial Palace and nearby gardens
Shopping for local ceramics, textiles, or lacquerware in Nishiki Market
Nara – Ancient Temples & Sacred Deer
On a full-day excursion to Nara, Japan’s first permanent capital, you’ll visit the grand Todaiji Temple, which houses one of the largest bronze Buddha statues in the world. In nearby Nara Park, meet the friendly (and cheeky) sacred deer that freely roam the grounds. The tour also visits Kasuga Taisha Shrine, known for its hundreds of stone and bronze lanterns and its peaceful, forested pathways.
