箱根湯の花ゴルフ場（休業中）

Hakone Yunohana Golf Course sits within one of Japan's most iconic resort destinations — the Hakone area of Kanagawa Prefecture, long celebrated for its volcanic hot springs, views of Mount Fuji, and the ryokan culture that has drawn visitors from Tokyo for well over a century. The course name itself references "yunohana," the sulfur crystals that form around hot spring vents, giving a sense of just how deeply embedded this layout is in the thermal landscape of the region.

The parenthetical "休業中" — currently suspended or closed — signals that the course is not operating at present, a situation that has affected a number of older Japanese resort courses as the country's golf industry continues a long restructuring that began after the asset bubble of the 1990s collapsed. Many courses in the Hakone area were built during Japan's golf boom decades and have since faced difficult economics.

For golfers, Hakone remains a compelling region regardless — mountain terrain, cool summers, proximity to the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, and a density of resort golf within an hour or 2 of central Tokyo.
