Suggested itinerary
Four days from Taipei to Tokyo is enough for two proper rounds. It is not the best format for three far-apart courses unless the group is willing to stay close to the golf area and start very early.
Use the first and last days for travel, with a round on each of the two middle days. Check the hotel-to-course journey before choosing the tee times.
Day-by-day route
Day 1: arrive in Tokyo and keep the evening open. Confirm the booking emails, rental-club details, player names, transport, and whether the course requires a Japanese phone number or local contact.
Day 2: first round. Pick a course that is easy to reach from the hotel. For a first round in Japan, a 9:00-10:30 tee time is usually more comfortable than 7:00 from central Tokyo.
Day 3: second round. If you would like to play more holes, stay near the course on Day 2 night and consider an early tee time or extra nine. Confirm 27-hole availability before booking transport.
Day 4: departure. Choose a late flight if you want a morning range session or golf shopping. A full round works only if the course is near the airport and the checkout timing is clear.
Route choices
Narita and Chiba work well when flying through Narita. Haneda can work for Kanagawa, west Tokyo, and some Fuji or Hakone routes. If the group wants one night outside Tokyo, a course hotel makes Day 3 much smoother.
FAQ
Can I play three rounds in four days?
Sometimes, but it is a golf-heavy trip. You would usually need an early arrival, a course-area hotel, and at least one very early tee time.
Is 27 holes possible?
Yes, but it is not something to decide at lunch. Ask the course whether an extra nine is available, what it costs, and whether you need a 6:00-7:30 tee time.
Should I rent a car?
For two players, train plus taxi may be simpler. For three or four players, a rental car can be more efficient, especially with golf bags.
