Many first time visitors to Japan focus on Honshu, which is the largest of the Japanese islands and home to the capital city of Tokyo. While there are many excellent golf courses on Honshu, it pays to look elsewhere and the Okinawa Prefecture, which makes up part of the Ryukyu Islands, is a great region of the country for playing golf.
Okinawa is blessed with many top golf courses, one of which is Orion Arashiyama Golf Club. You can reach this golf club by flying to Naha Airport and making the picturesque 90 minute journey towards Nago Bay.
Even in the winter months, the temperatures remain mild in Okinawa and that means you can book a round of golf at Orion Arashiyama Golf Club at any time of year. The golf course was designed by Arai and opened for play in 1991. This 18 hole, par-72 golf course plays to 6,955 yards from the back tees but you have a choice of four tees on each hole.
