There are many high-end membership courses, but some courses are open to visitors.

However, it is the third smallest city in terms of area after Kagawa and Osaka, and with 11% of the total population concentrated in just 0.6% of the country's land area, it is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. As a result, there are only around 20 golf courses, many of which are membership courses that can only be played on with the accompaniment or introduction of a member. However, in recent years, some courses have opened their doors to visitors, and they are becoming increasingly popular.
