Anytime Fitness in Tokyo
There are 200+ Anytime Fitness gyms in Tokyo as of January 2024 and it keeps growing. It looks many but most of them are outside of the Tokyo main area and not convenient for tourists who are moving around in short space of stay. I have picked up Anytime Fitness gyms in 9 most popular and convenient locations for tourists in Tokyo. Maps below show Anytime Fitness, the nearest train station as well as a recommended hotel (mid budget good hotel) in each area.
1) Ginza is a popular upmarket shopping district with numerous brand stores and sophisticated restaurants. It is close to Tokyo Station as well. Anytime Fitness Higashi-Ginza is located in this neighborhood. Shinbashi is right next to Ginza and there are many old-style small restaurants and bars that are very popular among locals. In this area, there is Anytime Fitness Shinbashi
The recommended hotel for fitness travelers in this area is The b Ginza. This simple 4-star hotel is located conveniently between Shinbashi Station and Anytime Fitness Higashi-Ginza. It is also easy to access to both Ginza shopping area and Shinbashi restaurant district.
2) Akihabara is a popular area for the latest and discounted Japanese consumer electronics and Comics(manga) shops. This area is close to both Tokyo and Ueno stations, which have express trains to Narita Int’l airports. There are many shops and restaurants in this area, and it is convenient to move around Tokyo with many train lines available, and this area is very economically friendly (no luxury hotels or upmarket shops). In this area there is Anytime Fitness Akihabara . From Akihabara train station, it takes about 6 min walk.
There are not many hotels in Akihabara. Nohga Hotel Akihabara Tokyo is one of the best options. This 4-star hotel is conveniently located, close to both Akihabara station and Anytime Fitness Akihabara .
3) Tokyo Station area is convenient to move around Tokyo or go to other major cities with bullet trains. There are 2 Anytime Fitness gyms in this area; Anytime Fitness Nihonbashi-honcho and Anytime Fitness Hachobori. They are a bit far from Tokyo station, but it is still walking distance (15 min).
Among many hotels in this area, my recommendation for fitness travelers goes to Daiwa Roynet Hotel Tokyo Kyobashi. This simple but stylish 3-star hotel is in a convenient location. You can walk to Kyobashi station in 30 sec, and to Tokyo station in 5 min, and most importantly to Anytime Fitness Hachobori in 10 min.
4) Akasaka is a popular nightlife district with thousands of restaurants and bars (Tip: many people confuse this district with "Asakusa," a popular old town in Tokyo). It is mostly for nightlife and not much for shopping. In this area, there is Anytime Fitness Akasaka. It is right next to Akasaka train station. There are many hotels in this area from luxury to reasonable ones.
Akasaka has many hotels from luxury to reasonable but if you want a convenient location as a fitness traveler, my recommendation goes to Presso Inn Akasaka. This 3-star hotel is small but neat. It has a good breakfast (usually included). The location is excellent, and you can jog to Akasaka Hikawa Park in under a minute.
5) Ueno is an unique area with a mixture of many shops, restaurants, parks, a zoo and museums. This area is also very reasonable (many cheap shops and restaurants) and convenient to go to Narita Int’l airport with the Narita Express. In this area, there are Anytime Fitness Ueno and Anytime fitness Shin-Okachimachi. Both of them are a bit far from Ueno train station, but it is still walking distance (12 min walk). Please note that Ueno has 2 train stations. JR Ueno station is connected to Tokyo station and Shinkansen bullet train. Keisei Ueno station is to go to Narita International Airport (convenient for international travelers). There are many reasonable hotels in this area.
In this area, a good hotel to stay for fitness travelers is Mitsui Garden Hotel Ueno. Probably this 4-star hotel is the most modern hotel in good location in Ueno.
6) Hamamatucho / Shiba area is convenient to go to Haneda airport. It takes 25 min with the express monorail. It is also close to a popular tourist spot; Tokyo Tower. In this area, there are Anytime Fitness - Shiba Hamamatsucho and Anytime Fitness Hamamatsucho Shiodome, Anytime Fitness Shinbashi
