Tokyo
Tokyo is the megacity that all the other world capital cities admire. It has an unusual mix of timeless history sitting beside space-age technology, traditional behaviour with super modern trends, absolute peace and quiet and screaming noise. Tokyo can manage the old and the new standing side by side, and that is just one of a hundred reasons why here is one of the most exciting and exotic cities on our planet.
One of our favourite golf tours is the week-long Tokyo trip to this magnificent city of 36 million people. Arrive into Tokyo on Sunday and be whisked away to the Prince Park Tower Hotel. Here, we offer you calm and spacious skies at a location nestled in the natural splendour of Shiba Park, in the midst of the bustle of the metropolis. This will be your relaxing home base for the next six nights in this awesome and bustling capital city.
Sunday Day 1: Arrive, Tokyo, Japan. Narita (NRT) or Haneda (HND)
Welcome to one of the most vibrant cities in the world! To make your journey smoother, we’ve arranged for your seat on the Airport Limousine Service. This way, you can unwind on the way to the Prince Park Tower Hotel. The ride will take about an hour, depending on traffic.
Tonight, we invite you to join us for The Golf Tourist welcome dinner. We’ll kick off with drinks and canapés in the lobby at 7 PM, giving you a chance to mingle with fellow golf enthusiasts. After that, we’ll head to a local Izakaya for dinner with Peter Bissett, the owner of The Golf Tourist.
Monday Day 2 - Shishido Hills CC, Ibaraki
There are two 18-hole courses here. The East is a forest course and the undulating West has hosted the Japan Golf Tour. As such, this is a tough yet very enjoyable golf course and a friendly clubhouse that offers traditional Japanese fare. The course features undulating fairways and many strategic bunkers that come into play and enough water hazards to keep you well focused. The course is immaculate and has set exceptionally high standards in the way in which the course is presented, as is acknowledged by those who are fortunate enough to play here. A rare sweet treat.
Tuesday Day 3 - Hirakawa Country Club, Chiba.
Hirakawa CC is interesting because of its layout and awesome conditions. There is sufficient water and bunkers that protect fast greens and many interesting long holes. Hirakawa CC is 7,206 yards, par 72, built in 1988 affording a reasonably flat terrain surrounded with forests of cedar and cypress trees. Home to the JPGA’s Fujifilm Japan Senior Open, as a private members only course, it is not easy to get on unless you know someone.
You walk the course and you have a caddy bringing all your clubs to you and your ball. The elevation change is less than 10 metres across the entire course which makes the walk even more pleasant. The fairways are like lush carpets and the greens are tour standard. This is a 2 bent green system. The high quality of the greens is part of this well-earned course reputation. After your golf and suitable refreshments, we return to the Prince Hotel. Tonight is a free night for you to explore Tokyo at your leisure.
Wednesday Day 4 - Kamakura-Enoshima Tour.
A special Kamakura-Enoshima relaxed tour day is planned. After breakfast, depart the hotel at 10am and we head to Kamakura, a seaside Japanese city just south of Tokyo. The once political centre of medieval Japan, modern-day Kamakura is a prominent resort town with dozens of Buddhist Zen temples and Shinto shrines.
Next door is Enoshima. Here we will investigate an explosion of delicious seaside restaurants, bistros and cafes serving long-late lunches with great ocean and beach views, meet some of the interesting locals and relax. Then, tonight is a free night and we suggest a favourite authentic izakaya Japanese gastro pub in Ginza where you can enjoy a lively atmosphere. You are free for the rest of the evening to enjoy Tokyo.
Thursday Day 5 - Kawaguchiko CC, Mt Fuji.
This is an expansive, highly strategic 27-hole course located in a quiet forest at an elevation of 1,000 meters on the north foot of Mt. Fuji to the south of Lake Kawaguchiko. The course, which was designed by Robert von Hagge of the United States, has fairways and greens of ukishiba grass, and each of the holes has separations consisting of Japanese red pine and Japanese larch trees. Majestic views of Mt. Fuji await at the Kawaguchiko Country Club.
Here we have the opportunity to play the now famous 2nd hole, where Bill Murray set up and drove his ball towards Mt Fuji while filming ‘Lost in Translation’.
Winning here demands high-precision iron shots and strategic play to counter 195 deftly distributed bunkers, perhaps the most among Japanese courses. After your game, unwind in the welcoming ambiance of the mountain villa inspired clubhouse.
Friday Day 6 - Narita Golf Club, Chiba.
Designed by Gary Player, who won all four of the world’s major golf championships, the Narita Golf Club course quickly became referred to as one of the most memorable in Japan. Player has said, ‘Lots of places seemed to be asking to be hole locations from the very start’. The tree lines and perfectly placed water hazards add great definition and astounding character. It hosted the first US PGA Tour sanctioned tournament, the ‘2017 Japan Airlines Championship’ and many legendary players were impressed by the well-maintained green conditions. The average golfers can enjoy a round if they play according to their skills as the course is enjoyable for all levels of golfers. After your golf and suitable refreshments, we return to the Prince Park Tower Hotel to prepare for tonight’s dinner which will be around and under the railway at Yurakucho station. Then it’s a free night to enjoy on the town – and this is Friday night in Tokyo.
Saturday Day 7 - Depart
Hotel checkout is at 10 AM. After enjoying your last breakfast at the hotel, we’ll gather our belongings and get ready for the day. Our first stop will be the lively district of Ginza, where we’ll savor a delicious lunch at a local izakaya restaurant.
After our meal, you’ll have some time to explore one of the famous department stores in Ginza, perfect for any last-minute shopping you might want to do.
Once we finish our shopping, we’ll head to either Narita or Haneda Airport. It’s essential to arrive early to meet your airline requirements and go through customs and immigration.
We wish you a wonderful flight back home. Travel safely, and for now, we say Sayonara.
