The journey to La Foret Shuzenji & Country Club begins at Tokyo's Haneda Airport (HND), gateway to the Izu Peninsula's forested highlands roughly two and a half hours southwest by car. The route follows the Tomei Expressway before peeling off toward the volcanic heart of Shizuoka Prefecture, where the landscape shifts from coastal plains to steep, cryptomeria-clad ridges and the thermal mists of Shuzenji's ancient onsen town. As the road climbs into the mountains, civilization thins to scattered villages and bamboo groves, the final approach winding through dense forest before revealing the club's secluded fairways - a serene retreat carved into the cool, green silence of the Izu interior.
