Golf in the Shadow of Mt. Fuji
Billed as the golf course closest to Mt. Fuji, G8 Fuji Country Club lies on gentle hills on the mountain's southern flank above Fujinomiya, at around 750 metres above sea level. Opened in 1985 and designed by Hirochika Tomisawa, it is an 18-hole, par-72 course of 6,852 yards from the back tees, with moderate elevation changes and fairways separated by stands of cedar and cypress. Bentgrass greens and the cool upland air make for comfortable summer golf.
On a clear day the mountain fills the sky, from the 6th hole to the restaurant terrace.
The 6th hole is one of the best spots for Fuji views, and the restaurant lets you linger over a meal with the peak close at hand. There is a 10-bay driving range and a bath in the clubhouse. Just down the road are the Shiraito Falls, one of Japan's most beautiful waterfalls, and Fujinomiya is home to Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha shrine and its famous yakisoba. Drivers reach the course via Route 139 from the Kawaguchiko or Fuji interchanges; by rail, take the Kodama Shinkansen from Tokyo to Shin-Fuji (about 68 minutes) and then a taxi.
