Japan is a country that loves golf, having enjoyed the prestigious game for over a century. The sport was once reserved for the affluent upper class, but today can be enjoyed by all. There are over 2,000 courses throughout the country, home to world-class greens suitable for a wide variety of tastes and experience levels. These golf courses are well maintained, and set in some of Japan’s most scenic locations.
When the best season for golfing in Japan?
Golf can be enjoyed in Japan year-round, and the character of the courses changes with the passing of the seasons. Courses are designed with the unique climate and topography of the region in mind; spring flowers bloom, sparkling blue seas complement manicured greens, snow-capped mountains tower in the distance, and trees blaze with the vivid hues of autumn.
What can we do after golfing ?
The charms of golf in Japan go beyond the green. Unwind after a game with a relaxing soak in a natural hot spring. Enjoy traditional flavors with a meticulously prepared meal at a first-class restaurant. Stroll through the streets of historic castle towns and ultra-modern cities. The opportunities for discovery are endless.
The greater Osaka area is an optimal destination for golfing trips.
