The Kanto region contains the highest concentration of golf courses in Japan — and for good reason. With 35 million people within a two-hour drive, the demand for accessible weekend golf has produced an extraordinary density of courses across all seven prefectures. Chiba alone has over 150 courses; Ibaraki and Tochigi offer highland and lakeside terrain within 90 minutes of central Tokyo. The range runs from prestige clubs with century-old histories to value-focused public courses where a weekday round costs under ¥5,000. Whatever style of golf you’re looking for, Kanto has it.

Planning Tips
- Chiba: most accessible from Tokyo, especially via the Aqua-Line and Ken-O Expressway
- Ibaraki/Tochigi: better value, more varied terrain, ideal for longer day trips
- Gunma/Saitama highlands: cooler temperatures in summer, mountain scenery
- Book weekday rounds for significantly lower green fees across all prefectures
