An indoor date in Kyoto at night lets you plan without watching the rain, the heat or the cold.
Rather than stopping at dinner, adding something you can both try produces the conversation, and a memory you share.
Keep the walk after dinner short
Somewhere you can walk to from the restaurant limits what the weather can do and keeps the evening flowing.
Check the distance from the station and the closing time, and book working backwards from when you need to be home.
Choose something you can both join
Simulation golf or darts, played in short turns, are easy for two beginners to take part in.
Do not make it only about winning: turn the difficulty down and pick a setting that leaves room to talk.
Compare private rooms and atmosphere
To talk at length, a semi-private booth or a private room; for a short, easy-going session, open seating.
Check the lighting, the volume, the seats and the drinks list against what you both like.
- The distance from dinner
- Support for beginners
- A private room
- The time you need to be home
Choose a venue that spares you the clothes and the kit
With rental clubs and shoes, you can call in wearing whatever you chose for sightseeing or dinner.
Change out of heels or leather shoes to play, and do not force a full swing.

Frequently asked questions
Can two people with no golf experience enjoy a date here?
At a venue with beginner games and guidance on the controls, easily.
Can we come in what we wore to dinner?
If you can move in it, yes. For heels or leather shoes, we would suggest the rental shoes.
Will a rainy day affect the booking?
An indoor venue is largely unaffected, but do check how the trains and buses are running.
