Wazuka is one of the most scenic tea-growing villages in Japan — steep hillside fields of meticulously maintained tea plants, a valley that looks like a painting in early summer, and an atmosphere of genuine rural Japan that the more accessible parts of Kyoto Prefecture have largely lost. Kyowa Golf Club sits in this landscape, offering a round of golf that is inseparable from its setting.
The Course
The course makes the most of the Wazuka valley terrain — hillside fairways, wooded corridors, and the kind of elevated views that make a good approach shot feel genuinely satisfying. The layout rewards course management: the terrain naturally creates awkward lies and angles that punish wayward shots, so thinking ahead matters here.
The setting in the tea district means the air in spring and early summer carries something extra — the faint fragrance of new tea leaves on the surrounding slopes while you play is one of those details that makes a round memorable for reasons beyond the scorecard.
