“What an amazing trip! Thanks to the hard work and wonderful organisation by Ria and Yoko (and Yahiro-san) everything ran very smoothly. The accommodation, sightseeing, golf and food experiences were excellent, especially the farewell dinner in Miyazaki. The golfers enjoyed playing on a variety of courses and learning to play the Japanese way, and non-golfers definitely didn’t feel left out! Ria and Yoko were easygoing travel companions and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for enabling us to enjoy the experience. ”

“It was the trip of a lifetime! The golf courses we had the opportunity to play – all magnificent. The Japanese way of golf – from caddies, lunch in the middle and the after golf onsens! Never in my dreams did I think I would be ‘onsening’ after golf!
I loved the mix of golf courses, accommodation, and food! My expectations were exceeded again, again and then again! The tour ran perfectly for me – but I know how much work went on behind the scenes. I greatly appreciate On The Tee for the work you do.
Thanks for so much fun and a very memorable trip.”
