So Much More Than Just A Golf Vacation...
Our tours bring you the best that Japan has to offer; the best golf, sightseeing, accommodations, transportation and dining. Furthermore, we offer what no other tour at any price can offer: some of Japan’s finest private golf courses. Through our network of contacts in Japan, we have been given the opportunity to bring our guests to play some of these world famous courses. No other tour at any price can offer these courses.
When we are not playing golf, we will see some of Japan’s greatest national treasures. Japan has so much history and culture. Fascination lies around every corner.
We will travel in style, aboard the world famous Shinkansen bullet train whenever possible. It is the fastest, safest and most civilized way to travel anywhere. Sit back and relax as the Shinkansen glides through some of Japan’s most scenic countryside.
We will stay at the very finest accommodations and we will treat you to a culinary experience unlike any other. Japanese food is not only a feast for your taste buds but for your eyes as well. The Japanese have made food preparation an art form. The result is maybe the healthiest, freshest and most beautiful cuisine anywhere on earth.
For some strange reason, not everyone plays golf but if your wife or guest is not a golfer, we will offer sightseeing, shopping or relaxing opportunities for the non-golfers.
Let Us Make It Easy For You...
Japan Golf Tours can take the bother out of making flight arrangements for you. If you would like, we will find you the most affordable airfares to and from Japan. Or, if you prefer, you can make your own flight arrangements.

As I am now currently living in Japan, the time difference makes it difficult to contact me by telephone. However all e-mails are answered promptly. Please see the contact page for our e-mail address.
There is a perception that Japan is one of the most expensive places on earth. I remember hearing about the astronomical prices for golf, hotels and food in Japan when I was younger. Let me dispel that notion right now. Those days are gone. Japan is now quite affordable with prices very comparable to other great destinations. Also, Japan Golf Tours knows where and when to find the best deals on all of the things that make Japan so fascinating. You will be pleasantly surprised at how affordable we make it for you.
So what are you waiting for? Contact us and we will get you started on the golf vacation of a lifetime.
