Shizuoka is easily accessible from both the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Chubu region, stretching 155 km east to west and 118 km north to south, with a coastline of approximately 500 km and mountains of 3,000 meters and above, including Mt. Fuji, making it a prefecture that resembles a miniature version of Japan. There are approximately 90 golf courses, some overlooking Sagami Bay, Suruga Bay and the Enshu Nada Sea, and others where you can enjoy playing while seeing the majestic Mt. Fuji up close. Japan's golf culture originated in Kobe, and spread to Tokyo, where Tokyo golf enthusiasts quickly set their sights on this area as a site for developing resort courses.
Shizuoka is convenient to access by car because the Tomei Expressway and Shin-Tomei Expressway, which are the main arteries of the Japan, cross the entire prefecture. Many courses have been created around the Tomei and Shin-Tomei interchanges. In addition, the Tokaido Shinkansen runs parallel to the Tomei Expressway, and can also be accessed by the Shinkansen. In addition, there is Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport in the center of the prefecture, which can be accessed by plane from the airport where direct flights fly.
Shizuoka is home to many unique golf courses, but one of the most popular is Jurigi Country Club. Located in an area with excellent access from central Tokyo, just 16 kilometers from the Susono Interchange on the Tomei Expressway, the course features a highland course at an altitude of 1,000 meters, with Mount Fuji right in front of you. The clubhouse was renovated in June 2024, further increasing its popularity. Mishima Country Club also renovated its women's bathroom in October 2024, and is gaining popularity among a wide range of golfers.
