Overview
This 9-day golf itinerary offers a premium "Bullet Train" golfing experience, taking you from the coastal greens of Chiba to the prestigious, Mount Fuji-facing fairways of Mishima.
Playing golf in Mishima, Shizuoka, offers a quintessential Japanese golfing experience characterized by panoramic views of Mount Fuji and Suruga Bay.
Courses in this region are primarily hilly, with elevations between 300 and 500 metres, providing cool breezes in the summer and relatively mild winters.
The courses feature fast bent grass greens and modern GPS carts.
Playing golf in the Mishima area is a top choice for players who want a "world-class" experience that combines iconic scenery with the high-tech efficiency unique to Japanese golf culture. Mishima is one of the most convenient golf hubs for international visitors.
It is only 45 minutes from Tokyo Station via the Tokaido Shinkansen, and most courses are a short 15–20 minute taxi ride from Mishima Station
Summer Conditions & Seasonality
Mishima boasts a Perfect Year-Round Climate and unlike many other regions in Japan, the Mishima area benefits from a temperate microclimate:
Cool Summers: The high altitude (300–950m depending on the course) provides refreshing breezes when cities like Tokyo are humid.
Mild Winters: The region sees very little snowfall, meaning courses stay green and playable through the winter months.
Local Etiquette & Tips
The terrain in Shizuoka is naturally hilly, which has led to strategic, high-quality course design both creative and challenging.
Pro-Designed Layouts like Mishima Golf Club was designed by Japanese golf legend Isao Aoki and features fast, undulating bent grass greens.
Challenging Topography and whilst some fairways are designed to look flat, they often feature intentional undulations and strategic water hazards, like those at Mishima Country Club.
