Why not play golf in Tokyo?
Are you a golf enthusiast? Japan is the world’s second largest golfing nation after the United States in terms of the number of golf courses. Did you know that there are also many golf courses in the Tokyo area?
ZENflow Tours has started offering golf tours with car transportation from hotels in Tokyo. Ken Oka, the CEO and a certified guide and a golf fan, will play with you. The golf courses are private courses operated by membership clubs of which Ken Oka is a member. There are more than 10 courses around Tokyo, and all of them are high-class courses in good condition.
There are some golf courses near Tokyo where you can see Mt. Fuji if the weather is good. Many golf courses in Japan are located in the suburbs in areas rich in nature, so they will make good memories of Japan that are different from the city.
Services
- Customers can play at member referral prices. We do not charge a guiding fee, but please pay only for Ken Oka’s playing fee (the playing fee is considerably cheaper than the guide fee).
- We will pick you up from your hotel in Ken Oka’s private car. Please pay only the actual cost of gasoline and expressway tolls.
- Please pay separately for additional expenses such as lunch on the day and rental clubs. Please prepare your own supplies such as balls and gloves (you can also purchase them at the golf course).
- The playing fee varies depending on the golf course, the season, the day of the week, the number of people, whether or not a caddy is required, etc., so we will provide you with an official estimate when you send a contact form to us.
- Please note that we will choose the golf course for you, taking into account the location of your accommodation, etc.
The weather is a concern when playing golf, if it is raining and the playing conditions are difficult, you can change to a sightseeing tour of Tokyo with Ken Oka (please pay the difference in the guide fee on the day).
