Japanese Courses

I just went through and added all the Japanese courses and wanted to add a disclaimer just in case anyone here is planning on taking a trip out there.

The latitude/longitude is extremely general, I could only find the cities for the most part and attempting to figure out how to find the street address through google maps (without reading Japanese) is virtually impossible. I thought it'd be nice to have at least general indications of where a course is if you were browsing via the map view. Some I couldn't even find the city. Also, the Landscape/Terrain on most is just filler since I couldn't find any sort of course information.

As far as other courses in other countries (including the US), most of the lat/long is spot-on. There are a few (very few) where I had to do a best guess but even those will put you in the immediate area of the course for the most part.

japan is a great country to play in, i've played the japan open at the old course in nishi-tachikawa and am planning on going to the JO this year at natsu highlands. they really make the disc golfer feel appreciated and welcome. i highly recommend it.

I'd love to play there.. just wish I could find the courses for the site!

If you have a clue as to where some of those are please feel free to fill in the lat/lon. I couldn't make head or tails of the google maps (as they were all in Japanese) and the course descriptions provided no information. I think I did manage to find somewhat accurate lat/lon for one course but the rest were really just indications of where the cities are.

man i have no clue, japan is very difficult to navigate intentionally (goes back to war days). two former world disc golf champions are there in tokyo giving the game a push for the last few years, john ahart and sam ferrans. john gave me this name and address for a direct japanese contact...

Well, I'm not too concerned. If any Japanese players make their way to the site then maybe they'll be nice enough to fill in the gaps.
