Gift Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; CEO: Keita Daikoku) announces its intention to attempt the Guinness World Record™ for 'Most services offered by a golf resort' at the opening of THE SANCTUARY (The Sanctuary), a fully integrated membership golf resort scheduled to open in 2029.
Background and Purpose of the Guinness World Records™ Attempt THE SANCTUARY is being developed as a 'fully integrated resort' that goes beyond the conventional golf course, designed to meet the diverse needs of affluent clientele.
CEO Keita Daikoku stated, 'To demonstrate the potential of Japanese hospitality and resort development to the world, objective evaluation based on global standards is essential.' This decision to pursue the Guinness World Record™ aims to redefine the concept of golf resorts by surpassing existing benchmarks in both the quantity and quality of services offered, thereby establishing a new standard for added value.
Ultimate Value Through Integration of 50+ Services To qualify for the Guinness World Record™, THE SANCTUARY plans to offer over 50 distinct services through its on-site facilities and partner network.
[Key Services to Be Offered (Selected Examples)] • Golf & Sports: Championship course play, one-on-one concierge caddies, private lessons by professional players, club fitting using the latest equipment, fitness gym, yoga and meditation programs
• Accommodation & Relaxation: Luxury hotel stays with all-suite accommodations, natural hot spring spa, private sauna, in-room massage, dedicated butler service
• Dining & Entertainment: Restaurants curated by Michelin-starred chefs, private wine cellars, cigar lounge, in-room dining, kids' programs
• Transportation & Business Support: Helicopter transfers, private jet arrangements, chauffeur services, business center access, interpreter and translator arrangements, VIP networking events
By seamlessly integrating these services within a single resort, THE SANCTUARY aims to become 'the golf resort with the highest added value in the world.'
Statement from CEO Keita Daikoku 'From the moment we conceived THE SANCTUARY, our goal has always been to exceed global standards. While Japanese golf courses boast exceptional courses, in terms of the overall added value as a resort destination, we still lag behind the world in certain aspects. Attempting the Guinness World Record™ as the golf resort offering the most services is not merely about setting a record. It is a declaration of our commitment to push the boundaries of value we can deliver and to pioneer new possibilities for Japan's hospitality industry. We promise to provide golf enthusiasts and those seeking the ultimate resort experience with an 'ultimate sanctuary' unlike anything anyone has ever experienced before.'
Future Outlook Currently, the THE SANCTUARY project is progressing smoothly toward its 2029 opening, with course design and facility development underway. The official application and review process for the Guinness World Record™ will be conducted at the time of opening, once the facility is complete and all services are fully operational. Going forward, updates on service expansions and new partnerships will be announced regularly.
