In Tokyo, there is sorely a lack of space, so they have to be clever to install green spaces, find land to build new housing ... Therefore they were very creative to find a solution in order to play golf. At Yodobashi - Akiba, the electronics shop next to the metro station Akihabara, they installed golf and baseball at roof level.

Indeed, on the 9th of Yodobashi, you can play golf or baseball at any time of day. All equipment are provided there, it awaits only you. For golf, the play can last at least 30 minutes and up to 3-4 hours. You pay the same price as you enter alone or more for one play. There are clubs for men and women and also all kinds as you want. There are 2 floors for golf but the 2nd is reserved for those whowants to score.

We have been for fun one night and paid 4160 yen for 1 hour. The seller gives you a card that must be inserted in the machine. The 60 minutes are deducted automatically by the machine from the moment you insert the card and it also counts the balls you hit. It was the first time for me, I did not think that golf clubs could be so heavy. We had 4 (chosen by the seller) : 2 for men and 2 for women. In each location , the balls come out automatically after each of your shots and in front of the player is a screen explaining how to position themselves. You will also be recorded and on the screen, there will be a comparison of your position and the one of the demonstration, as you can see live how to correct< yourself./p>

We hit 461 balls in total and we came out witha litlle aching in our arms. But it was fun and it was a great delight as well. Many salarymen come often to hit some balls after work with colleagues (even female) to relax. This is a very good way to come together and play sportsin the same time.
