Things you should know about golf in Hokkaido & Tohoku
Many of the courses are laid out comfortably on spacious land.
Hokkaido and Tohoku are home to many golf courses with dynamic layouts set on majestic grounds. Hokkaido in particular accounts for roughly one-fifth of Japan's land area, and most of the golf courses are designed to be spacious and relaxed. Golf courses in Hokkaido generally operate on a two-day system, with morning and afternoon through courses, to allow golfers arriving by plane to play efficiently. For example, if you take the first morning flight from Tokyo's Haneda airport to Hokkaido, you can play one afternoon through course on the day of your arrival and one morning through course the following day, allowing you to enjoy two rounds of golf in two days and one night.
Hokkaido is easily accessible by plane, while Tohoku is easily accessible by Shinkansen!
Hokkaido is by far the most convenient to access by plane. New Chitose Airport, which has the most flights to and from Hakodate Airport, Asahikawa Airport, Tokachi Obihiro Airport, Tancho Kushiro Airport, etc., is generally accessible by rental car or Shuttle bus to the golf course. Tohoku also has airports in each prefecture, but the number of flights is limited.
