If you are traveling to Japan and playing golf, both Taiheiyo Club courses in Gotemba should be at the top of your list. The Gotemba West property has a newly renovated, 23 room boutique hotel that is the perfect location to stay while playing both courses. One of the questions I am often asked is to suggest the best mode of transport to get to Gotemba so I decided to share all of the options.

In January 2020 Golf Digest ranked Taiheiyo Clubs Gotemba course as the fifth-best in Japan. If courses were rated purely on the iconic status I have no doubt Taiheiyo Gotemba would be positioned at the top of the list. Its illustrious reputation is due to many factors and its position at the base of Mt Fuji makes it a truly spectacular place to play golf.
