What you need to know about golf in Chubu & Hokuriku
Many courses offer a sense of ease and comfort, making the most of the region’s favorable terrain.
The Chubu region has a high concentration of golf enthusiasts, with Aichi Prefecture ranking fourth in Japan with a population of approximately 7.5 million, and the three-prefecture area including Gifu and Mie totaling about 11 million. To meet this high demand, numerous golf courses have been developed with excellent access from urban centers. Most courses are ideally situated across the plains and hills within an easy day-trip distance from Nagoya City, Aichi. Meanwhile, the Hokuriku area is notable for its stunning courses that offer breathtaking ocean views of the Sea of Japan.
Convenient Access: Use the Tokaido Shinkansen or Car for Chubu, and the Hokuriku Shinkansen or Flight for Hokuriku.
Nagoya City, the heart of the Chubu region, is highly accessible via multiple transport options: by air through Nagoya Airport or Chubu Centrair International Airport; by rail via the Tokaido Shinkansen; and by road via the Tomei or Meishin Expressways. Many golf courses are located within an hour's drive of central Nagoya. While day trips are easy, staying overnight near the courses is also an excellent option for those looking to maximize their time on the green. For the Hokuriku region, we recommend arriving via the Hokuriku Shinkansen or by flying into Komatsu Airport. As these courses are further from major hubs, they are perfect for a dedicated golf trip that includes an overnight stay.

Many golf courses in the Chubu region feature spacious layouts on expansive grounds, maintaining a high standard of quality even if they are not yet widely known nationwide. A notable standout is the Excellent Golf Club Ise Otori Course in Mie Prefecture, where Tiger Woods played a memorable match-play round against Shigeki Maruyama in 2001, during the peak of his career. Gifu Prefecture also boasts numerous exceptional courses. Among them, Sun Classic Golf Club is highly popular as a hilly course that skillfully integrates the beauty and challenges of the natural terrain.
