Fujisankei Ladies Classic
The Fujisankei Ladies Classic is an annual golf tournament on the LPGA of Japan Tour. First held in 1982, the tournament was established as an alternative to the mens league's Fujisankei Classic. The tournament was initially held at the Five Hundred Club in Shizuoka from 1982 to 1995, before transitioning to the Fujizakura Country Club, where it was held from 1996 to 2003. In 2004, the event was held at the Fuji Lakeside Country Club, and in 2005 the event was again moved, this time to the Kawana Hotel's Fuji golf course, where it has been held every year since with two exceptions.
Cancellation
In 2020, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resumed the following year. Five years later, in 2025, the event was cancelled by the tournament sponsor, the Fujisankei Communications Group, resulting from the sexual assault allegations controversy surrounding former television personality and idol Masahiro Nakai.2025 would have marked the 43rd iteration of the Fujisankei Ladies Classic tournament. The 42nd tournament in 2024 brought upwards of six thousand visitors to the Izu peninsula. The abrupt cancellation of the event has had a negative affect on the local economy, with the general producer of the event, Masaru Tobari reporting one thousand cancellations of accommodations at local hotels.
