Play at Fukuoka, in Kyushu, or at Osaka
The most popular tourist destination for foreign tourists in Japan today is probably Kyoto. And the most popular place for golfers right now is probably Fukuoka in Kyushu.
The reason for this, which I will refrain from describing here, may be due to the fact that the neighboring country of Korea is also located very close by. Also, access to Fukuoka Airport from foreign countries seems to be increasing very much recently. As a result, I have heard that there are many problems with foreign golfers.
Basically, golf courses have very few staff members who can speak English. In case of trouble, they are required to respond in Japanese.
Also, there are several golf courses in the area where only members or accompanied by members are allowed to play, and some golf courses prohibit foreign golfers from playing. I am confident that if you contact me, I will manage to find good golf courses that are playable. I will recommend golf courses that are relatively close to Hakata, where you will be staying. The most recommended golf course is
JR Uchino Country Club.
However, commissions will be slightly increased for the Fukuoka, Osaka, and Nagoya areas only.

Recommended golf courses in Osaka
--------
Osaka Golf Club
It may be a bit difficult to play a round, but it is the only seaside course in Kansai.
-----
WORLD COUNTRY GOLF CLUB
-----
This is a golf course that can be played if I manage to ask for it.
----
I recommend playing two or three rounds of golf at both Osaka and Fukuoka.
Murasaki Country Club Ayame Course
This golf course is located very close to Tokyo and is especially recommended for those staying in Tokyo.
It is about a 45-minute drive from Tokyo and is a wonderful woodland course.
