About Kawana Hotel Golf Course — Fuji Course Golf Course
The Fuji Course at Kawana Hotel is one of Japan's great resort courses, designed by British architect C.H. Alison and opened in 1936 on a dramatic clifftop site at the tip of the Izu Peninsula. The course commands breathtaking Pacific Ocean views from almost every hole, with the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji visible on clear days to the northwest. Alison — who designed both Hirono and Kawana — used the natural clifftop terrain masterfully, routing holes along the cliff edge and through coastal valleys. The 8th hole, a par-3 tee shot over a rocky ocean cove, is one of Japan's most photographed golf moments. Unlike Hirono, which is strictly private, the Fuji Course is open to guests of the historic Kawana Hotel, making it one of the most accessible world-class golf experiences in Japan. The combination of Alison architecture, Mount Fuji views, ocean drama, and seamless resort hospitality makes Kawana Fuji uniquely special among Asian resort destinations.
