This is a 12-day land-based luxury golf and touring itinerary that takes place April 7-18, 2027, and travels through Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Kyoto. The journey combines exceptional golf with Japan’s ancient culture, modern cities, revered gardens, historic temples, and culinary traditions. Guests experience Japan through both its courses and its cultural treasures, with the Kalos team coordinating accommodations, golf, touring, transfers, and daily logistics throughout the trip.

Golfers can look forward to courses such as Yokohama Country Club’s West Course, Caledonian Golf Club, Naruo Golf Club, Golden Valley Golf Club, and Seta Golf Club’s North Course. The itinerary includes a mix of traditional and modern Japanese golf, from Yokohama Country Club’s renovated championship layout to Naruo Golf Club, ranked #3 in Japan and #83 in the world by Golf Digest, and Golden Valley Golf Club, a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design set among the hills northwest of Osaka.

Golf in Japan is as much a cultural experience as it is a sporting one. Expect beautifully maintained courses, exceptional hospitality, and traditions rooted in respect, etiquette, and punctuality. Many clubs also observe traditional dress standards, including jackets or blazers upon arrival, and rounds often include a leisurely lunch between nines. Embracing these customs as welcomed guests offers a unique window into Japanese culture and is one of the most rewarding aspects of golfing in Japan.

This itinerary is designed for travelers who want to experience Japan’s golf alongside its most beautiful gardens and cultural landscapes. Touring highlights include Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Kiyosumi Gardens, the Imperial Palace East Gardens, Isuien Garden, Saihō-ji Moss Garden, Katsura Imperial Villa Gardens, Tenryu-ji Temple Gardens, and Nijō Castle gardens. These experiences give guests a deeper look at Japanese aesthetics, seasonal beauty, and the relationship between architecture, nature, and place.

Guests can choose from three ways to experience the journey: Golf, Golf Select, and Touring. Golf includes the full golf program, complemented by select touring experiences throughout the journey. Golf Select combines a selection of featured rounds with additional touring opportunities, and Touring is designed for guests who wish to focus primarily on Japan’s celebrated gardens, cultural landmarks, and historic traditions. Whether you prefer to spend your days on the fairways, enjoy a balance of golf and sightseeing, or focus on Japan’s gardens, temples, cuisine, history, and local culture, there is an option tailored to your interests.

This is a land-based itinerary with luxury accommodations in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Guests stay at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi, Four Seasons Hotel Osaka, and Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto. Travel within Japan includes hosted transfers and bullet train journeys, including Tokyo to Osaka and Kyoto to Hiroshima. The accommodations are selected to reflect the character of each destination, from panoramic views near the Tokyo Imperial Palace to urban luxury in Osaka and a peaceful Kyoto setting near Nijō Castle.
