## About the course

Showa no Mori Golf Course is a village-run course in Showa Village, Gunma, at about 700 metres on the slopes of the Akagi highlands. It opened in April 2002 and is a 9-hole, par-36 layout of 3,040 yards. With few ponds and bunkers and an unhurried pace, it is a relaxed course to play. It does have its moments, though: the 4th is a popular short hole, and the closing hole is a 629-yard monster.

### Cool mountain air and a laid-back pace, _with the Joshinetsu peaks for company._

The views of the Joshinetsu mountains and Mt. Akagi are the main draw, and the high-altitude setting stays pleasant through the summer. Spring comes late up here and the course closes when snow falls, so the green season is the time to go. Golf-and-stay packages with the nearby Showa no Mori Sanso lodge make it easy to stay overnight. Showa Village is known for its farm-fresh vegetables and highland scenery, and the area around Numata and the Minakami hot springs is close by. The nearest Shinkansen station is Jomo-Kogen, from where you continue by car.
