Gyms for tourists in Kanazawa 2026
Kanazawa is famous for one of the best Japanese gardens; Kenrokuen and very interesting historical Ninja temple etc….. It is also a gateway city to go to the world heritage-listed Japanese old village of Shirakawago. With a bullet train now available from Tokyo, the popularity of this city is increasing. As for fitness travelers, there is only one local gym with a day pass in a convenient location. See my recommendation below the map.
Local gyms selling a day pass (red icon)
There is only 1 local gym selling a day pass to travelers in convenient location in Kanazawa.
IXgym: Day pass costs JPY4950 per visit and 7 days pass costs JPY7150. Open Mon-Sun from 10.00am - 9.00pm. Closed on Wed. It is in convenient location for tourists (close to Kenrokuen, Kanazawa castle and Ninja temple). See the official gym website.
Recommendation: Unfortunately, Kanazawa isn’t the most fitness‑traveler‑friendly city, with limited gym options. IXgym is well located for sightseeing — close to spots like Kenrokuen and the Ninja Temple — and although the day pass is a bit pricey, the many reasonably priced hotels in the area help offset the overall cost of staying active during your trip
Anytime Fitness (purple icon)
If you are an Anytime Fitness Member in your home country, you can use 1200+ Anytime Fitness gyms in Japan 24/7 for free (your home country’s membership covers the cost). You can use the same security key tag to enter. Often Anytime Fitness gyms in Japan are hard to find as they are located in the back street or on the 2nd floor of big buildings. In this area, there is only 1 in convenient locations as follows (Purple icons on the map). It takes 25 mins walk from Kanazawa station area.
Recommendation: There is no Anytime Fitness in convenient location in Kanazawa. Anytime Fitness Kanazawa Jinguji is the closest but it takes 25 mins walk from Kanazawa train station. There are many hotels near Kanazawa train station. You can jog to the gym !
