Gift Holdings Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; Representative: Keita Daiguro) will launch 'THE SANCTUARY' project, Japan's first ultimate membership golf resort to introduce a one-on-one caddy system for all groups, located within a 60-minute area from Tokyo. With a total project cost of 170 billion yen, the resort is scheduled for a grand opening in April 2029 as a 'supreme social venue' that overturns the concept of existing golf courses.
[Background: Bringing 'True Luxury' to Japan's Golf Market] Currently, Japan has 7 million golfers, but facilities capable of providing the 'integrated experience' sought by the wealthy are extremely limited. Representative Keita Daiguro envisioned a fully integrated resort that merges world-class hospitality with the latest technology to fill this market gap.
[Three Innovations of the Project] 1. Japan's First 'One-on-One Concierge Caddy' System A dedicated Japanese caddy is assigned to each player, providing strategic advice comparable to pro tours and meticulous attention to detail. This elevates golf from a mere sport to a special experience creating deep immersion and bonds.
2. Next-Generation Mobility and Futuristic Architecture Plans include Japan's first introduction of 'GARIA' high-end electric carts in Mercedes-Benz specifications. These fully enclosed, air-conditioned carts will ensure comfort in all weather. Furthermore, the futuristic clubhouse will become a new landmark harmonizing with Chiba's nature.
3. Social Contribution Scheme Creating a 'Cycle of Gratitude' The facility will introduce a caddy tip system starting from 10,000 yen, with 30% of it donated to 'zero killing of shelter animals' and 'ALS medical research.' This creates a new mechanism where gratitude for the best service directly becomes a power to improve society.
[Facility Overview: World-Class Hospitality] Course: An 18-hole championship course capable of hosting professional tournaments. Accommodations: Fully equipped with 8 'Presidential Suites,' each exceeding 500 square meters. 24-hour dedicated butler service. Dining: Michelin-class culinary experiences, including premium Sushi crafted by masters and high-end Yakiniku grilled by dedicated staff. Wellness: One of the largest luxury spas in Japan, along with authentic Finnish saunas.
[Roadmap for the Future] Renovation work on existing facilities will begin in 2026, with the aim of listing on the Tokyo Pro Market by 2031. Gift Holdings Inc., led by Keita Daiguro, will promote the value of Japan's tourism resources to the world through this project.
