Three Iconic Destinations, Exclusive Japanese Country Club Golf & Immersive Culture
Experience the best of Tokyo, one of the world’s greatest gastronomic cities; the splendour of Mount Fuji; the hot springs of Hakone; and temple-rich Kyoto; as part of a spectacular 10-day trip that includes five rounds at some of Japan’s most exclusive private golf courses.
Tokyo is unlike any other capital city in the world, and is the starting point of this truly unique golf travel experience. Every city the world over is a blend of old and new, yet few have the extremes of Tokyo, where you feel as if you’re walking not just from past to present, as you go from neighbourhood to neighbourhood, but also into the future. The contrasts are perhaps never more apparent than in cherry blossom season when a cityscape known for glistening metal-and-glass buildings is suddenly overwhelmed with the delicate pink petals, lining every walkway and road to criss-cross the city.
After Tokyo, you’ll travel just an hour south to Hakone, famed for its hot springs and Mount Fuji panoramas. You’ll play two rounds at the prestigious Fujizakura Country Club and Hakone Country Club, before taking in the best of the city, including Hakone Open Air Museum, which includes paintings, sculpture and ceramic from Picasso.
Finally, a bullet train takes you to the third iconic destination, Kyoto for an immersive tour of the city’s rich history, and its abundance of shrines and temple which number upwards of 2,000. Then, a final return to Tokyo to sign-off an epic far eastern adventure.
