Golf and hot springs were built for each other in Japan. A short field guide to the best post-round onsen towns near our most-played courses.
Eighteen holes in Japan is followed by ofuro — the bath. At the best clubs it's already on site. When it isn't, the right onsen town is a short drive away, and choosing the right one shapes the whole evening.
Three pairings we book often
- Hakone Country Club → Hakone-Yumoto for a kaiseki ryokan night
- Karuizawa 72 → Kusatsu for the strongest sulphur baths in Honshu
- Kawana → Atami for the closest oceanside soak after the cliffs
If you'd like the onsen night built in to the itinerary, mention it at inquiry — we treat it as part of the round.
