Program Overview

A Focused, Five-Day Curriculum in Tokyo

Held at Satomi Kids Golf Academy in Yotsuya, Tokyo, this intensive golf program in Tokyo is built as a complete, structured week rather than a series of unconnected lessons. Each student works directly with Satomi Sugiyama and Kiyoshi Hinata, with a lesson plan shaped around their current level and goals.

The standard format runs as a five-day package, Monday to Friday, and the program is offered as a Private Program for one student or a Duo Program for two students, each receiving individual attention from a dedicated instructor. Enrollment begins at a single student, and while five days is the standard structure, the content and schedule can be discussed and adjusted to fit a family's specific timing and goals.
