Dai Fuji Golf Club is a convenient choice for golfers travelling by Shinkansen. The journey from Tokyo Station to Shin-Fuji Station takes around an hour, followed by a taxi ride of approximately 30 minutes to the course. That makes Dai Fuji one of the easiest Mount Fuji-area courses to reach by train—and a convenient stop for golfers travelling between Tokyo and Osaka or Kyoto.

Unlike many courses in the area, Dai Fuji operates year-round, offering the chance to see Mount Fuji in its snow-covered winter beauty. Opened in 1954, the 18-hole, par-72 course was designed by Nobukatsu Marumo and is among Shizuoka Prefecture’s oldest golf courses. Though relatively short, it rewards accuracy and thoughtful course management over sheer distance. Its varied layout combines open, exposed holes with more challenging tree-lined stretches, creating an enjoyable test for a wide range of golfers.

Fuji Classic makes a memorable final stop for golfers seeking a course that feels like its actually on Mount Fuji. Set at around 1,200 metres above sea level, the 18-hole, par-72 course is designed around wide mountain views, with Mount Fuji visible from all 18 holes. Its elevation makes it a lot cooler in summer but unfortunately has the smallest open window from March-November

The course was designed by Desmond Muirhead and draws inspiration from Katsushika Hokusai’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, making it one of the most fun and interesting courses of the region. Its highland setting brings changing winds and dramatic scenery into play, while the layout offers a distinct contrast to the more traditional parkland and forest courses in the region.
