Kanto region (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Gunma, Tochigi, and Ibaraki) and Yamanashi (where Mt. Fuji is located) are among the most convenient regions for international golfers.

• Easy access from Tokyo by train, highway, or shuttle

• A large number of golf courses with mature cherry trees

• Sakura season generally overlaps well with peak spring travel

• In Yamanashi, some courses also offer views of Mt. Fuji alongside cherry blossoms

These factors make the region ideal for both short golf trips and longer spring itineraries.

In most years, cherry blossoms in Kanto and Yamanashi bloom between late March and early April. However, the exact timing varies each year depending on weather conditions. Here is the estimated sakura flowering and full bloom date according to Japan Meteorological Corporation. 

Below are golf courses in the Kanto region known for their cherry blossom scenery during spring. To make your planning easier, we organized the courses into public transport-friendly, drive-accessible, stay-and-play, and and Fuji-view experiences.

Many international visitors prefer to use public transportations during trip in Japan. Golf courses that can be reached by train and a short taxi ride make it easy to enjoy sakura-season golf as a day trip from Tokyo, without the stress of navigation, parking, or rental car procedures.
