- 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.
