Japanese golf gear, explained by someone who actually plays it

JDM clubs, forged irons, Japanese shafts and golf in Japan — researched from Tokyo, using the domestic catalogues and pricing that almost never make it into English.

Why this site exists

If you have ever tried to research a Miura, Epon, Fourteen or Honma club in English, you already know the problem: a handful of forum threads, a lot of guesswork, and almost nothing from people who can read the manufacturer's own Japanese spec sheet.

Crypto Golf Club has been publishing golf gear coverage in Japanese since 2026. This English section covers the part of the market we can genuinely add something to — Japan-domestic equipment, Japanese shafts, and playing golf in Japan — rather than repeating reviews of drivers you can already read about on twenty other sites.

Everything here is written from primary Japanese sources: maker catalogues, domestic retail listings, and gear we own or have hit. Where a club is hard to buy outside Japan, we say so plainly instead of pointing you at a listing that will not ship.

What we cover

Three areas where being based in Japan actually matters.

JDM clubs & irons

Japan-domestic models, forging houses, and what actually differs from the export versions sold in the US and Europe.

Japanese shafts

Fujikura, Mitsubishi, Graphite Design and Nippon — including the domestic-only models and how Japanese flex ratings really compare.

Golf in Japan

Booking, etiquette, costs and what to expect if you are visiting — written for travellers, not for locals.
