Kyo Country Club

A short drive beyond the airport hum, Kyo Country Club greets you with whispering pines, gently rolling fairways, and the gentle chorus of ponds at play. Born from a philosophy of “harmony with nature,” this American-style course lives at the intersection of serenity and strategy — a surprising escape just beyond Tokyo’s edges.

Designed under the vision of Taiyo Ryokuka’s design department, with oversight by Juli Inkster, the layout is flat overall yet alive with subtle undulations, mounded fairways, and eight strategically placed water hazards. From its one-green bentgrass system to the whispering tree corridors, every hole demands thought, finesse, and respect for nature’s edge.

Access is straightforward yet scenic: about 12 km from Shisui IC, or 10 km from Matsuo-Yokoshiba Road, via the Higashi-Kanto Expressway. As you turn off the highway, the landscape transforms — farm fields, forest lines, and the occasional distant jet line your route to the clubhouse. With GPS-navigated carts, optional caddies, a 20-bay driving range, and full clubhouse amenities, Kyo offers both the comfort of a refined facility and the quiet thrill of a course where nature steals much of the show. Plan for a round here not just for golf — but for a moment of calm, a taste of elegant design, and a course that stays with you far after the last putt.
