Fuji Classic

Fuji Classic is on the Fujigane plateau in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, on the north-western side of Mt. Fuji. Its own site is in English, with separate booking routes for visitors who live abroad and for residents of Japan.

The course was designed by Desmond Muirhead, the English-born architect who died in 2002, and the club describes it as his signature work in Japan. It calls the course links-style, and the hole notes bear that out: humps and hollows on the 6th, white-sand bunkers on the 8th, a pond fed by a stream on the 11th, a rock-edged pond on the 15th and an island green on the short 17th. Mt. Fuji rises behind much of it. From the back tees it is long — 7,171 yards at par 72 — with 6,296 from the regular tees.

The overseas-golfer rate includes the green fee, a cart and the bath; lunch is included on some plans. The bath has a sauna, and the restaurant serves set meals. There is a range, with tokens handed out at check-in. On site there is also a hotel and a private sauna villa, booked separately. Rental clubs are ¥5,500; left-handed sets are men's only.

Rates vary by season, by day of the week and by how far ahead you book. The club publishes overseas-golfer rates from ¥19,000 on weekdays and ¥31,000 at weekends; the online rate we checked in October 2026 for a Saturday in November was ¥43,000 with lunch. These are examples, not a quote.

Getting there

About forty minutes by car from Kawaguchiko IC on the Chuo Expressway, via Routes 139 and 71; roughly two hours from Shinjuku. By train, take the JR Chuo Line to Otsuki and the Fujikyu Line to Kawaguchiko, then a taxi of about thirty minutes.

Nearest station: Kawaguchiko (Fujikyu Line) — about 30 min by taxi. We include precise written directions (English and Japanese) with every confirmed booking. If you prefer a private car, we can introduce a partner hire-car provider; please confirm golf-bag space and book transport directly with the provider.
