Our sightseeing program is carefully designed to immerse you in the richness of Japanese culture without ever feeling rushed. Throughout the tour, youтАЩll 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 тАУ Tradition in the Heart of a Megacity

Kyoto тАУ The Soul of Old Japan
In Kyoto, JapanтАЩs former imperial capital, youтАЩll explore sites that define the countryтАЩs 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.

Our Japan Golf Tour is scheduled for 17 тАУ 31 October 2027. Over 15 days youтАЩll travel from Tokyo to Kobe, timed perfectly to coincide with JapanтАЩs famous autumn colours. The tour includes 7 rounds of golf, luxury five-star hotels, curated cultural sightseeing, and exclusive experiences designed for both golfers and non-golfers.
Absolutely тАФ Japan offers a blend of championship golf, rich culture, and world-class hospitality. This tour is designed to showcase the best of it all: seven premier golf courses, luxury hotels, and guided cultural experiences in Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe.
Yes тАФ this tour includes some of JapanтАЩs most sought-after courses, such as Kawana Fuji, often called the тАЬPebble Beach of Japan,тАЭ and Golden Valley, regarded as one of the countryтАЩs inland masterpieces. Along with Camellia Hills, Dai Hakone, Seta North, and Arima Royal, this tour covers a true bucket-list lineup.
Japan offers excellent golf year-round, but the best times to visit are spring (AprilтАУMay) and autumn (OctoberтАУNovember). In spring, courses are framed by cherry blossoms and the weather is mild. In autumn, the temperatures are comfortable and the courses are surrounded by spectacular red and gold foliage, making October and November especially popular. Summer can be hot and humid, while winter brings snow to northern regions, though golf remains playable year-round in parts of Honshu and Kyushu.
On your own, access is limited, but this tour guarantees entry to exclusive courses normally reserved for members. ItтАЩs the easiest way for international golfers to experience JapanтАЩs elite golfing scene without the red tape.
Japanese golf is elegant and structured, with traditions such as caddie service and sit-down lunches after nine holes. On this tour, we brief you on everything in advance and handle the details, so you can enjoy the authenticity without any guesswork.
Not on this tour. We handle all golf bag logistics, including luggage forwarding services (takkyubin), so your clubs meet you at each course or hotel. You ride the bullet train light while still enjoying seamless golf days.
This tour pairs golf with JapanтАЩs signature cultural treasures: TokyoтАЩs TeamLab and Asakusa, HakoneтАЩs hot springs, KyotoтАЩs Golden Pavilion and bamboo groves, NaraтАЩs Great Buddha, and KobeтАЩs legendary dining. ItтАЩs a perfect balance of sport and culture.
Because weтАЩve done the hard work for you. Access to JapanтАЩs best golf is notoriously difficult for visitors, and travelling between cities can be daunting with clubs in tow. This tour secures the tee-times, arranges seamless transfers, books five-star hotels, and layers in cultural experiences тАФ making it the most complete way to enjoy golf in Japan.
