    • We arrange golf only as part of a complete Japan tour that includes hotels and ground arrangements. There are no standalone tee times.

    • Golf Digest Japan Tour Center is our partner for requesting tee times inside that package.

    • Tee times are typically confirmed 2 to 3 months in advance. Alternate courses may be used for availability, tournaments, or maintenance.

    Select this itinerary or ask us to customize it.

    • Japanese golf is a full-day club visit: check-in, the round, often a sit-down lunch between nines on Honshu, then checkout. Hokkaido courses more often play through without a mid-round meal.

    • A sport jacket is usually required entering and leaving the clubhouse. Caddies are typical for visitors. Tipping is not customary; if you give one, it is not included in the tour.

    • Many clubs have a bath or onsen after play.
