Hiroshima Airport is in Mihara, which makes an arrival-day round easy. The city is about fifty minutes away by limousine bus, so playing first and then heading into town is often the efficient order.
Coastal courses looking over the Seto Inland Sea sit alongside inland highland layouts. Some run night or twilight golf, which lets you play even on a late-arrival or transit day.
The dry Setouchi climate allows year-round golf, though inland highland mornings are cold in winter. Night and twilight operation shifts with the season, so check the booking screen.
Comparing a Japanese tee time on the headline green fee alone tends to produce a different number at the counter. Confirm whether cart, caddie or self play, lunch, locker and the local golf tax are included, then check rental clubs or shoes, minimum player counts, two-player supplements, payment method and whether overseas visitors can book. Clubs may also specify check-in times, dress codes and bathing etiquette, so submit player names accurately.
Play near Mihara on arrival and continue into the city for the night, play eighteen around Higashihiroshima on day two, then see Miyajima before departure. The Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima each need half a day.
Drive times differ across Miyajima, Setouchi and eastern Hiroshima. Work backwards from your first tee, and group courses in the same direction to cut daily driving.
Check the product page for cart, caddie or self play, lunch, locker, local taxes and rental equipment in your chosen plan, and compare weekday against weekend rates.
The dry Setouchi climate allows year-round golf, though inland highland mornings are cold in winter.
