Nasu Region Golf in Tochigi's Highlands

Shinonome Golf Club sits in the Nasu area of Tochigi Prefecture, one of the most golf-rich highland regions in the Kanto hinterland. Established in 1984, the 18-hole layout occupies the rolling forested terrain that defines this northern corner of Tochigi, with a course rating of 72.0 delivering a solid challenge in the same mountain environment that has made Nasu a celebrated escape from Tokyo's summer heat for over a century. The wooded fairways, seasonal colour changes, and clear mountain air make every round here feel like a proper escape.

Nasu highland golf just north of Tokyo: Shinonome is the authentic Tochigi mountain course experience.

The Nasu region as a whole is anchored by the imperial family's summer villa, which has lent the area a refined, unhurried character that persists across its restaurants, inns, and golf courses alike. The famous Nasu hot springs are just minutes away, and the highland plateau is home to outstanding local dairy products, fresh mountain vegetables, and some of the best craft pottery and glasswork studios in the Kanto region. For golfers looking to combine a round with an overnight stay and a proper Japanese country experience, Nasu is one of the most rewarding destinations within easy reach of Tokyo.
