Quick answer: The two golf courses foreign visitors can book in Kochi, on Shikoku's Pacific coast, are Kochi Kuroshio Country Club (a Casio World Open venue) and Tosa Country Club. Elite Golf Japan reserves both in Japanese on your behalf — a flat US$30 per golfer, charged only after your tee time is confirmed.
Kochi, on the Pacific coast of Shikoku, is one of Japan's best-kept golf destinations: warm, uncrowded, and defined by oceanfront courses. The headline round is Kochi Kuroshio Country Club, a JGTO TOUR CHAMPIONS CLUB venue that has hosted the Casio World Open, with a nine that plays straight out toward the sea. Green fees run about ¥10,000–¥20,000, and Kochi Ryoma Airport is around 80–90 minutes from Tokyo. We book both Kochi courses for you and handle the Japanese side.

Most overseas golfers fly into Tokyo or Osaka and never make it to Shikoku, the smallest of Japan's four main islands. That is the appeal. Kochi faces the Pacific, stays mild well into the shoulder seasons, and its courses run along the coast with sea views and coastal winds that most inland Japanese golf never gives you.
It is also a short hop, not an expedition. Kochi Ryoma Airport connects to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka, and the two courses below sit within easy reach of Kochi city.
The marquee round. Perched above the Pacific in Geisei, its Taiheiyo nine plays straight out toward the sea, framed by palm trees. It is a 36-hole complex and one of only 16 JGTO-certified TOUR CHAMPIONS CLUB venues in Japan, and it has hosted the Casio World Open. Green fees are about ¥12,000 on weekdays and ¥20,000 on weekends.
View course →For variety and value. Established in 1967, Tosa is a historic 54-hole complex on the Pacific coast, where ocean views and coastal winds give the rounds a links-like feel across three distinct courses. Green fees are about ¥10,000 on weekdays and ¥15,000 on weekends.
