Karuizawa Asama Golf Course (Location: Hotsuchi Minamikaruisawa, Karuizawa-machi, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture; General Manager: Yuko Kageyama) will commence its season's operations on Saturday, April 4, 2026. For the 2026 season, we will introduce the "Hot Spring & Afternoon Tea Plan," which combines golf, hot springs, and afternoon tea, proposing a new style of resort golf that allows guests to enjoy both play and stay.
In recent years, the demand for golf has shifted from a purely competitive focus to an experiential one, emphasizing "two-some golf" enjoyed by couples, and post-play dining and relaxation. Responding to this trend, Karuizawa Asama Golf Course aims to enhance the resort-specific stay experience in addition to the traditional value of play. The highlight of the 2026 season is a new sensory plan that allows guests to enjoy hot springs and afternoon tea after golf. By combining one round of golf with relaxing in a hot spring overlooking Mt. Asama and enjoying sweets and light meals at the hotel restaurant's afternoon tea, we offer a new resort experience that integrates golf, hot springs, and dining.
This course is a two-some exclusive course, primarily for groups of two, characterized by smooth progress with minimal waiting times and a private round. The 18 holes spread across a plateau at an altitude of approximately 1,000m are designed to be enjoyed by beginners and advanced players alike, with comfortable playing conditions provided by golf carts that can enter the fairways. Furthermore, it boasts excellent access from the Joshinetsu Expressway Usui-Karuizawa Interchange, making it easy to visit even for a drive from the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Karuizawa Asama Golf Course is located within Prince Grand Resort Karuizawa, which gathers hotels and leisure facilities, allowing guests to enjoy a "stay-type resort experience completed in one night and two days" that combines golf with accommodation, sightseeing, and shopping.
Moving forward, we aim to attract new golfers, including women and younger generations, and strengthen the resort experience with an eye on inbound demand.
