• Welcome to Ibaraki – Where Adventure Begins

  Your journey starts the moment you land at Tokyo Haneda Airport — where a warm welcome and private transfer await.

  Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic ride to Hotel Nikko Tsukuba, your home for the next 7 nights. Nestled just minutes from Tsukuba Station and surrounded by the quiet charm of Ibaraki, the hotel blends modern comfort with Japanese hospitality — think serene spaces, soothing tones, and thoughtful touches that make you feel instantly at ease.

  But first — adventure! En route, we’ll stop at Mt. Tsukuba, one of Japan’s most revered peaks. Ride the ropeway to the summit, where panoramic views of autumn-drenched hills unfold before you. Breathe in the crisp air, snap a few “we made it” photos, and let the magic of Japan settle in.

  Then, gather with your fellow travellers for a relaxed lunch (included) with a view — the perfect moment to swap stories, share smiles, and begin building the connections that make this experience so special.

  As the day winds down, return to the hotel to settle in, unwind, and let the anticipation build. The fairways are calling — and this sisterhood is just getting started.

First Swing, Lasting Impressions

Wake up to the gentle hush of Ibaraki — the air crisp, the sky bright, and the promise of your first round on the horizon.

After a full breakfast at Hotel Nikko Tsukuba, we’ll head to Higashi Tsukuba Country Club, a serene 54-hole sanctuary nestled in a whispering forest of red pine. Today, you’ll play the North/Middle 18-hole championship course — a beautifully balanced layout that challenges with long par-4s, strategic bunkering, and greens that demand precision, all while rewarding thoughtful play and a calm mind.

With caddie support and shared cart service, you’ll have everything you need to focus on your rhythm, your breath, and the joy of being here — no distractions, just the game and the moment. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the scenery, this course meets you where you are.

As the sun begins to dip, we’ll return with a deeper appreciation for the quiet magic of Japanese golf — where nature, design, and tradition come together in perfect harmony.

Then, gather for your first AWGN welcome dinner at Sansui Tei, where the warmth of the room matches the richness of the meal. Savor tender beef sukiyaki — simmered tableside with vegetables, tofu, and glass noodles — a true taste of home-style Japanese hospitality.

Laughter, stories, and maybe a glass of sake to seal the day. This is what sisterhood feels like.

A Course That Speaks to the Soul

Start the day with a nourishing breakfast at Hotel Nikko Tsukuba, then set out for Toyosato Golf Club — an 18-hole masterpiece tucked into the forested hills of Tsukuba.

Designed by legendary architects Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, this par-72 course unfolds with quiet confidence. Long, tree-lined fairways stretch ahead, offering clear sightlines from tee to green — a rare gift that lets you play with intention. Bent-grass greens roll true, bunkers guard with strategy (not spite), and the peaceful rhythm of the woodland surrounds helps you settle into your own.

With caddie support and shared cart service, you’ll have space to focus — on your swing, your breath, and the simple joy of playing a course that feels both challenging and kind. Whether it’s a perfectly placed iron or a quiet moment under the pines, this is where memories are made.

After your round, take a breath. Reflect. Carry that sense of calm back with you.

Back at the hotel, the afternoon is yours to unwind — sip tea, journal, or swap stories with your new golf sisters. No agenda. Just presence.

Because sometimes, the best part of the game isn’t the score — it’s how it makes you feel.

Breathe In the Beauty

After a full breakfast at Hotel Nikko Tsukuba, step into a day of discovery — not on the fairway, but in the heart of Ibaraki’s natural charm.

We’ll begin at a local fresh market, where the colours pop and the flavours sing — think crisp seasonal produce, handmade sweets, and the quiet pride of local artisans. It’s a chance to slow down, savour the simple things, and maybe pick up a special something to remember the moment.

Then, we’ll visit the breathtaking Hitachi Seaside Park, a living canvas of colour and calm. Depending on the season, you might walk beneath a soft pink mist of moss phlox, wander through golden kochia hills, or admire the last blooms of autumn asters. With ocean breezes in your hair and open skies above, it’s the kind of place that makes you pause — and just be.

And of course, no day out is complete without a little retail therapy. We’ll stop for golf apparel and accessory shopping — a curated selection of elegant, functional pieces that blend Japanese style with sport-ready performance. Whether you’re treating yourself or shopping for a friend, it’s fun, light, and full of joy.

As the sun begins to dip, we’ll head back with hearts full — not just from what we’ve seen, but from how it’s felt to move through this place together.

Because sometimes, the most powerful moments aren’t played. They’re simply lived.

Where Challenge Meets Calm

Begin with a delicious breakfast at Hotel Nikko Tsukuba, then set out for Summit Golf Club — a course that doesn’t shout, but quietly impresses.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Ishioka, this 18-hole championship layout is designed to welcome every golfer — from the confident to the curious. With bent-grass greens, thoughtful bunkering, and a mix of ponds and elevation changes, it’s a course that rewards smart play over brute force. Every hole feels intentional, every view a reward — wide skies, whispering trees, and the quiet focus that comes when you’re truly in the zone.

With caddie support and shared cart service, you’ll have space to breathe, think, and enjoy the game at your own pace. Whether you’re shaping a draw around a hazard or sinking a delicate putt, this is golf as it’s meant to be — present, peaceful, and full of possibility.

And when your round wraps up, carry that sense of calm with you.

Back at the hotel, the evening is yours — to rest, reflect, or share stories over tea. No rush. No pressure. Just the quiet joy of a day well played.

Because sometimes, the best rounds aren’t the lowest scores — they’re the ones that leave you feeling more like yourself.

Walk With Purpose, Play With Heart

Start your morning with a nourishing breakfast at Hotel Nikko Tsukuba, then set out for Joyo Country Club — a course that stands for more than just golf.

Here, you’ll play on a stunning 18-hole championship layout where every fairway is pristine and every green demands your attention. But what makes this round truly special? You’re playing at one of the very few clubs in Japan led by a female General Manager. This is more than a game — it’s a moment of connection, support, and quiet celebration of the women breaking barriers in golf.

The course is walking-only, played with caddie support — a rare and rewarding experience that brings you closer to the rhythm of the game. With no cart to rush you, you’ll feel the earth beneath your feet, the crisp autumn air, and the quiet focus that comes when you’re fully present. At 6,142 metres of elegant design and strategic challenge, Joyo tests every club in your bag — and leaves you smiling with every step.

And who knows? After such a powerful day, the night might just call for a little karaoke — a joyful, off-key tribute to the swings, the stories, and the sisterhood that’s growing with every mile.

Because sometimes, the best memories aren’t made on the leaderboard — they’re made laughing, singing, and being completely, unapologetically you.

The Final Round, and a Heart Full of Memories

After a nourishing breakfast at Hotel Nikko Tsukuba, we’ll head to The Golf Club Ryugasaki — where your final round awaits on a course steeped in history and thoughtful design.

Opened in 1958 and crafted by legendary architect Seiichi Inoue, this par-72 layout is both elegant and engaging. What makes it truly special? Two sets of greens for each hole — a rare feature that adds strategy and variety, subtly shifting the challenge depending on the day’s play. At 6,321 metres, it rewards precision, patience, and presence — a fitting finale to your Ibaraki journey.

With caddie support and shared cart service, you’ll have space to savor every moment — the quiet focus of your swing, the laughter between holes, the shared glances that say, “Can you believe we’re here?”

Back at the hotel, the afternoon is yours — to relax, reflect, or pick up a final souvenir.

Then, come together one last time for a farewell dinner at Teppanyaki, where the sizzle of the grill sets the mood and the star of the night is served: Hitachi beef, Ibaraki’s famed wagyu, seared to perfection. Rich, tender, unforgettable — just like this trip.

As the evening winds down, you’ll carry more than memories of fairways and views. You’ll carry the quiet strength of sisterhood, the joy of showing up, and the deep knowing that sometimes — just sometimes — golf is the excuse, not the destination.

A Final Bow in the City of Light

Savour your last breakfast at Hotel Nikko Tsukuba — a quiet moment to reflect on the week that was. Then, check out and set off for Tokyo, where tradition and modernity dance side by side.

First stop: Asakusa, the soul of old Tokyo. Walk beneath the giant red lantern of Kaminarimon Gate, follow the path to Senso-ji Temple, and let the scent of incense wrap around you. Stroll Nakamise Street, where centuries-old shops offer sweet senbei, handmade fans, and little treasures to carry a piece of Japan home with you.

Then, rise above it all — literally — at Tokyo Skytree, the tallest tower in the world. Ride up to the observation deck and take in the endless sprawl of the city below. From up here, everything feels possible.

Gather for a final group lunch (included) — a chance to laugh, share highlights, and soak in the sisterhood one last time.

Then, it’s time to say “see you later” — not goodbye — as we transfer to Haneda Airport for your journey home.

You’re leaving with more than memories of immaculate fairways, autumn views, and caddie-side chats. You’re leaving with a lighter heart, a fuller spirit, and the quiet certainty that this — this — is what happens when women come together, swing with intention, and open themselves to the beauty of the journey.

We can’t wait to see where you go next.
