Experience the Charm of Wakasu Golf Links at 'Wakasu no Hi' Event

The picturesque Wakasu Golf Links, managed by T&K Company, a subsidiary of BiLot Co., Ltd., is set to host a unique event titled 'Wakasu no Hi.' This two-day event, held on October 3rd and 4th, 2026, invites people of all ages and experiences to explore the charm of this extraordinary golf course, which serves as a remarkable transformation of a former landfill land into a community treasure.

A Brief Overview of the Event

Wakasu Golf Links stands out as a one-of-a-kind golf course developed between 1965 and 1974 on site previously used as a waste disposal facility. This unique project turned a waste management site into a vibrant green space, making it the world's only golf course built on reclaimed land. The location is surrounded by the sea, providing a scenic backdrop that enhances the golfing experience. This event is designed to share the beauty and allure of the golf course with the public while promoting awareness of environmental sustainability and the benefits of green spaces.

Golf is a sport that connects people across generations, creating bonds and joy while fostering memorable experiences. The 'Wakasu no Hi' event aims to help non-golfers and families, including children, become acquainted with the charm of golf and enjoy the numerous activities planned for the day. Events such as Snag Golf, cardboard slide on the grassy hills, yoga sessions on expansive lawns, and a popular golf cart tour are just a few highlights designed to showcase the charm of the golf course and make this amazing sport more accessible.

This 14th installment of 'Wakasu no Hi' promises to attract even more visitors this year with its two-day format, coinciding with the 'Seafront Museum' outdoor experience event at Wakasu Seaside Park, themed around art and the sea. Together, attendees can enjoy creative, interactive experiences while feeling the sea breeze, making for an exciting and enriching day out.

Moreover, this event reflects Tokyo's commitment to the '2050 Tokyo Strategy,' particularly in utilizing green resources and promoting the diverse benefits of nature. A key objective of 'Wakasu no Hi' is to allow citizens to appreciate and engage with the precious green and water resources Tokyo has to offer.

The Allure of Wakasu Golf Links

Since its establishment in December 1990 under the guidance of golf pro Ayako Okamoto and T&K Company's former chairman Taizo Kawada, Wakasu Golf Links has welcomed golfers of all skill levels, emphasizing enjoyment for everyone. Despite being a former landfill, the course features a strategic design with gentle elevation changes and is framed by black pines, making it appealing to golf enthusiasts.

The picturesque views from the golf course offer glimpses of Tokyo Disneyland to the east, the Tokyo Bay Aquacity to the south, and the skyline of central Tokyo to the west, with Mt. Fuji visible on clear days. Thanks to the beautiful scenery and easy access, the golf course has become a popular destination for Tokyo's golf community.
