## About the course

Himeji Aioi Country Club lies in the hills of West Harima above the port town of Aioi in Hyogo Prefecture. It opened in April 1975 to a design by Torakichi Nakamura, the pioneering Japanese professional, and plays as an 18-hole, par-72 course of 6,377 yards from the back tees. The site is gentle for hill country, with around 27 metres of elevation change: the outward nine is broad and expansive, while the inward nine asks for more strategy, and tree-lined fairways give much of the round a quiet woodland feel.

### Wide, generous holes going out, _and a thinking golfer's nine coming home._

Bent greens, riding carts and the choice of self-play or a caddie make it a relaxed, good-value stop in the region's mild climate, with a large bath and a restaurant waiting in the clubhouse afterwards. The course is about 10 minutes by car from JR Aioi Station on the Sanyo Shinkansen, or a short drive from the Tatsuno-Nishi IC on the Sanyo Expressway. Pair the round with a visit to Himeji Castle, the white-walled UNESCO World Heritage site a short train ride east, or wander the old soy-sauce town of Tatsuno and the oyster restaurants of the Seto Inland Sea coast at Aioi.
