All You Need to Know About Golf in Japan
Imagine teeing off amidst breathtaking landscapes, with cherry blossom scent all around you. Picture world-class hospitality, delectable cuisine and rich traditions. Golf in Japan is this and so much more.
Why Japan?
Japan has long been a coveted destination for travellers, and its golf scene is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. Japan boasts an impressive array of world-class courses, stunning scenery, and a unique approach to the game that sets it apart.
A Golfer's Paradise: With over 2,200 golf courses, Japan offers an incredible variety of layouts, from championship courses nestled in volcanic foothills to serene links along picturesque coastlines. Many courses are designed by renowned architects and maintained to immaculate standards.
Onsen & On-Course Relaxation: One of the most delightful aspects of Japanese golf is the tradition of ofuro or onsen (hot springs) often found at clubhouses. After a rewarding round, imagine soaking in a rejuvenating hot spring, soothing your muscles while taking in serene views. It's the ultimate post-game relaxation!
The Caddie Experience: Prepare for a level of service you might not have encountered before. All Japanese courses offer highly attentive female caddies who not only know the course intimately but also provide exceptional assistance, from cleaning your clubs to offering insightful advice on lines and reads. It’s an integral part of the Japanese golf experience.
Aesthetic Beauty at Every Turn: Japanese golf courses are renowned for their stunning natural integration. Think perfectly manicured fairways framed by cherry blossoms in spring, vibrant autumn foliage, or snow-capped mountains. Every hole is a visual masterpiece.
Exceptional Hospitality (Omotenashi): The Japanese concept of Omotenashi – wholehearted hospitality – permeates every aspect of your trip. From the moment you arrive at the clubhouse to your farewell, you'll experience a level of attentive, respectful, and sincere service that is truly world-class.
Japan's Golf Course Escalators: Many steep and mountainous golf courses in Japan feature escalators to transport golfers and their carts between tee boxes, fairways, and clubhouses that are significantly separated by elevation. These amenities help make the rounds physically easier and more accessible, compensating for the challenging terrain often used for golf course design in the country. They are a unique feature that reflects a focus on golfer’s comfort and efficiency.
