Osaka >> Umeda / Osaka station
Umeda / Osaka station area is a huge entertainment area with many shops, hotels, and restaurants in Osaka. Osaka station is convenient to move around with trains in all directions, including Nara and Kyoto. There are three local gyms that sell day passes to fitness travelers. Most of hotels with gym room have only small space with cardio machine only in this area. So it is better to find a hotel nerby the local gym.
Below gyms sell a day pass to travelers. As there are many hotels around the station. So it is a good idea to stay one of the hotels nearby a local gym.
To avoid embarrassment and disappointment at the gym, please read Tips and etiquette before going to the gym in Japan.
