A golf course at Kawana overlooking the sea

Fun & shopping

Golf

Cool highland courses, courses with views of Mt. Fuji, and southern courses that stay warm in winter. Check for a shuttle from the station or airport before you go.

Travel tips

  • You can send clubs by courier from the airport or your hotel to the course (send them about two days ahead).
  • Courses are often a taxi ride from the station, which is good value when split between players.
