Japan Classic: Tokyo, Fuji & Kyoto
Overview
Golf between volcanoes, cedar forests and Zen gardens.
Three of Japan's finest golf regions strung together with bullet-train efficiency. Fuji Golf Course with the mountain behind you. Taiheiyo Club's famous 18th. Evenings in Kyoto ryokans. A trip that earns its price tag.
Who this is for
Made for the golfer who wants a trip that changes what they think is possible. Japan is immaculate, courteous, and completely unlike anywhere else. Probably not right for those who need a familiar resort environment — this trip rewards curiosity.

Conditions
When to Go
April–June and September–November are the windows. Cherry blossom in April is extraordinary but courses are busy. July and August are hot and humid around Fuji — avoid unless you are specifically targeting Hokkaido. October for autumn foliage is peak.
