Chartered Bus for Golf Transportation in Japan

Overview

Planning a golf outing for a large group, company competition, or business entertainment? While small groups can manage with private cars or golf course shuttles, transporting multiple people and their golf bags becomes a major logistical challenge. Our Chartered Bus service is the ideal solution, allowing individuals or groups to charter a private shuttle with a professional driver.

This service eliminates the mental and physical strain on designated drivers. You can leave the demanding task of navigating to remote golf courses to a professional driver, freeing your group to use the travel time for rest, communication, or even drinks. The bus can be used anywhere you specify, 24 hours a day, making early morning departures or late-night returns completely stress-free.

With vehicles ranging from microbuses to large coaches, you can select the perfect size to accommodate both your passengers and, crucially, all their bulky golf bags and overnight luggage. We ensure your entire group and all your gear travel together comfortably and efficiently.

Highlights:

• Superior Luggage Capacity: Buses feature large-capacity trunks (through-type storage) capable of securely holding around 15 to 35 golf bags, eliminating the need to mail equipment ahead of time.
• Professional, Stress-Free Driving: A dedicated driver handles all navigation, allowing the entire group to relax, socialize, sleep, or even drink alcohol during the journey.
• Private Social Space: The vehicle interior provides a private space for communication, allowing participants to enjoy lively golf discussions, entertainment, or business conversation without worrying about other passengers.
• On-board Entertainment & Amenities: Tourist-style buses are fully equipped with facilities like karaoke, TV monitors, refrigerators, and kettles, perfect for pre- or post-game parties. Beer server options are even available upon inquiry.
• Door-to-Door Convenience: Enjoy seamless, direct transfers from your meeting point (homes, offices, or a central station) straight to the golf course, regardless of how remote the location is.

Complete Details:

Charter bus services are available 24 hours a day and are calculated based on time and distance traveled. The price is determined by the vehicle size chosen, which should primarily be based on your passenger count and the number of golf bags.

• Vehicle Types and Golf Bag Capacity:
  • Large Bus (35–60 people): Recommended for large tournaments or groups of around 30 people with equipment, as the trunk holds approximately 25–35 golf bags.
  • Medium-sized Bus (up to 27 people): Ideal for groups of 20 or less with equipment, as it can carry around 15–20 golf bags. Offers comfortable seating comparable to a large bus.
  • Minibus / Microbus (9–25 people): Better suited for small groups with minimal luggage or where maneuverability is paramount, often used for short-distance transfers.
• Pricing Examples (Excluding Tax): Fares vary by season, day of the week, and itinerary complexity.

• Flexible Itinerary: The bus can accommodate multi-day golf trips (e.g., mixing golf with sightseeing, as seen in the Okinawa example) and can factor in accommodation for the driver if the cost is cheaper than the bus returning to the depot daily.
• Communication & Entertainment: Salon-style seating (U-shaped seats in the rear) is available, which is highly recommended for maximizing communication and party atmosphere during the trip.

Faqs

Why is a chartered bus better than a hire car or rental car for a group golf trip?

Hire cars and rental cars have strict limits on both passenger capacity and luggage space, making it impossible to fit multiple golf bags and participants in one vehicle. A chartered bus eliminates this issue with its large capacity for both passengers and equipment, allowing everyone and their gear to travel together directly.

Can the passengers drink alcohol on the bus since a professional driver is driving?

Yes, one of the major advantages is that you can leave the driving to a professional. This means the passengers are free to relax and enjoy alcoholic drinks on the bus during the trip, fostering better communication and a party atmosphere.

What features do the tourist-style chartered buses offer for entertainment?

Tourist-style buses are well-equipped with amenities to enhance communication and entertainment. These often include karaoke systems, TV monitors, and sometimes even a refrigerator and kettle for enjoying drinks and snacks. Salon-style seating can be arranged for a party-like setting.

Is it possible to arrange a multi-day itinerary that includes sightseeing as well as golf courses?

Yes, chartered buses provide maximum itinerary flexibility. Multi-day trips often include mixing golf days with sightseeing stops or changing accommodations between rounds (as shown in the Okinawa example), and we can fully customize the route to match your plans.

How many golf bags can the largest bus size hold, and is that enough for a full-capacity bus?

A Large Bus can typically hold between 25 to 35 golf bags in its through-type trunk. While the bus can seat up to 60 people, it is often recommended for groups of around 30 people to ensure all passengers have enough space for their golf bags and extra luggage.
