THE NISEKO VILLAGE TANUKI GOLF INVITATIONAL
In the forests and foothills of Niseko Village, a legend whispers of a curious tanuki wandering the fairways at dusk. In Japanese folklore, the tanuki is a symbol of luck, playful charm, and turning ordinary moments into unforgettable ones. The Niseko Village Tanuki Golf Invitational celebrates that same spirit of adventure.
Set against Niseko’s spectacular landscapes, this inaugural gathering brings golfers and friends together for a tournament where great shots are celebrated, near misses are laughed about, and every round ends with stories shared over good food and company. The beginning of a new tradition, players will return year after year, chasing birdies, stories, and perhaps a little tanuki luck.
The Niseko Village Tanuki Golf Invitational is a five-day, four-night golf escape where relaxed play meets good company. Time on the fairway is balanced with thoughtful dining, warm hospitality, and the pleasures of Niseko’s green season. With three rounds across Niseko Village Golf Course and Niseko Golf Course, the programme offers a well-paced experience with plenty of moments to unwind and enjoy the mountain setting.
