Gyms for tourists in Naha (Okinawa) 2024
Okinawa is a very popular summer holiday destination in Japan, with beautiful beaches and unique culture. Naha is a gateway city to Okinawa. It is a reasonably big city and there is a world heritage-listed castle, Shurijo castle. It is highly recommended to stay in Naha city for a few nights even if your main purpose is to go to resort beach area. There are 3 local gyms selling a day pass to travelers in Naha. Outside of Naha, there are mostly resort hotels and almost zero local gyms with day passes. See my recommendations below the map.
The following gyms sell a day pass to travelers in Naha city.
Sports Palace Xistus: Day pass costs $30 per visit. Open Mon-Sat 9.00-23.00, Sun 9.00-22.00. See the official gym website.
Power Code gym: Day pass costs $25 per visit. Open Mon-Sun 9.00-20.00. See the official gym website.
Naha gym: Open Mon-Sat 10.00-22.00. Closed on Sun. Day pass costs $15 per visit. This is a gym for hardcore body builders and power lifters. See the official gym website.
All fees are calculated US$1=100 yen (e.g.$20 = 2,000 yen) for convenience. To avoid embarrassment and disappointment at the gym, please read Tips and etiquette before going to the gym in Japan.
Recommendation: Considering the price and location, Power Code gym would be the best option in Naha.
Among the many hotels in Naha, my recommendation for fitness travelers goes to the Hotel Strata Naha. This stylish 4-star hotel has a lovely rooftop lounge, and the Power Code gym is only a 5-minute walk away. It is also, 1 min walk to Miebashi train station. World Heritage-listed Shuri Castle is 18 min from this station. Also, you can go to Midorigaoka park for jogging. It has everything for fitness travelers. Check out the review and price from here.
Hotel Collective is conveniently located in the middle of popular street, Kokusai Dori, and has a good gym and pool.
Hyatt Regency Naha is also a solid choice. It has a good fitness gym room as well as a good pool.
