In this week’s episode of Golf in Japan, we head west of Tokyo to spotlight Yamanashi Prefecture—home to stunning mountain golf, legendary fruit, and half of Mount Fuji. KC, Damon, and Pro Joe dive into what makes Yamanashi such a hidden gem for golfers and travelers, including how its housing prices compare to Tokyo, and just how late you can be for a meeting in Japan (spoiler: don’t push it).

Joe reflects on his golden mullet days while giving us his hot takes on the Masters and breaking down the latest headlines from the pro golf world. The boys also try out the latest Skechers golf shoe drop—the Go Golf Prestige—and share their impressions on whether good shoes really do improve your game.

Plus, they head to Kagurazaka Country Club, one of Tokyo’s coolest simulator golf bars, for some drinks, swings, and laughs.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Corey Yoshimura—husband, father, friend, and PGA Tour Japan’s beloved marketing director. Cheers to you, Corey. You will be missed.
