Tohoku Highland Golf at the Yakurai Resort

Yakurai Golf Club forms part of the Yakurai Resort complex in Kami-machi, Miyagi Prefecture, set in the rolling forested hills of the Kitakami mountain range in northern Tohoku. Established in 1995, the course is part of a broader resort offering that includes accommodation and leisure facilities, making it a natural destination for multi-day golf trips into the Miyagi interior. The terrain here belongs to the same highland zone that has shaped some of Tohoku's most appealing natural landscapes, with cool summers, vibrant autumn colours, and a genuinely rural atmosphere far removed from the coastal cities.

Northern Tohoku resort golf surrounded by mountain forest: Yakurai is where Miyagi golfers go to breathe.

Kami-machi sits in a region of Miyagi associated with traditional silk weaving and rural craftsmanship, and the broader Kurikoma highland plateau nearby is one of the most scenic highland areas in northern Japan. For golfers making a journey through the Tohoku region, combining Yakurai with the famous Naruko Gorge hot springs to the west and the coastal fishing towns of Motoyoshi to the east creates an itinerary that captures the extraordinary variety this part of Japan has to offer.
