Hiroshima has Chugoku mountains in the north and the Seto Inland Sea in the south. The northern part has cooler temperatures and more rainfall, and snow can accumulate in winter. The southern part is mild and rainfall, with many sunny skies throughout the year. Since cities with large populations such as Hiroshima City, the prefectural capital, Fukuyama City, Kure City, Higashi-Hiroshima City, and Onomichi City are concentrated in the south, golf courses are also built mainly in the hilly areas of the south, but they are also scattered along the Chugoku Expressway that runs in the mountainous areas.
Access to the golf course in Hiroshima is basically smooth by car. Many golf courses have been built along the Sanyo Expressway and the Chugoku Expressway, and there are also golf courses along the Hiroshima Expressway that connects the two. Hiroshima is conveniently accessible by Sanyo Shinkansen or plane. The Sanyo Shinkansen has five stops in the prefecture (Hiroshima Station, Higashi-Hiroshima Station, Mihara Station, Shin-Onomichi Station, and Fukuyama Station). Hiroshima Airport operates regular flights to Tokyo (Haneda), Sapporo (New Chitose), Sendai, Okinawa (Naha), and Narita.
Hiroshima Prefecture is divided into northern and southern regions, with the southern region further divided into the Hiroshima/Kure region, Higashihiroshima/Takehara region, and Fukuyama/Omi region. Chiyoda Golf Club is popular among golfers in the Hiroshima/Kure region. Located within 10 kilometers of the Chiyoda Interchange on the Chugoku Expressway, its 10 ponds of various sizes add to the strategic challenge. Hongo Country Club is popular among golfers in the Fukuyama/Omi region. Its varied layout, which makes use of the natural terrain, has been well-received.
