The 5th tee is the highest point on the course, offering panoramic views of Lake Ashi, Owakudani, and the Sengokuhara Plateau.

Both caddie-assisted and self-play are available, and rounds are conducted using motorized carts.

Due to several blind holes on the course, first-time players are recommended to play with a caddie for the best experience.
