Golf Courses in Chiba

115 courses — more than any other prefecture in Japan

Chiba has more golf courses than any other prefecture in Japan, and for a visiting golfer that matters twice over: it sits directly around Narita Airport, and its Boso Peninsula stays mild enough to play comfortably through winter when the mountain courses inland are frozen. Many golfers land at Narita, play within 30 minutes of the terminal, and only then head into Tokyo. The Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line also puts the peninsula within about an hour of Yokohama, so Chiba works as a day trip from either side of the bay.

For International Golfers

Chiba is the easiest prefecture in Japan to pair with a flight: book an afternoon tee time on arrival day or a morning round before an evening departure. Courses near Narita are used to international players and several run airport-area hotel pickups. Weekend rates rise sharply because Chiba absorbs Tokyo’s weekend demand, so weekdays are both cheaper and quieter.

Can I play golf in Chiba on the day I land at Narita?
