Gyms for tourists in Ueno 2025

Tokyo >> Ueno

Ueno area in Tokyo is unique and fun with a mixture of many things, great park, zoo, museums, traditional temples, street food, many shops, and restaurants. As there is an express train from Keisei Ueno station to Narita International Airport, it is very convenient for international travelers. Ueno is an economically friendly city with many cheap shops and hotels (no luxury hotels or shops). For fitness travelers, there is only 1 hotel with a gym in Ueno, but that gym room is so small that only 1-2 people can use it at the same time. In this area, there are 4 local gyms that sell day passes to travelers and 2 Anytime Fitness (member only). There are many reasonable hotels around them, and it is easy to find hotel nearby those gyms. See my recommendations below the map.

Recommendation: Infinity 24H Fitness Gym is a good option. It is close to Ueno station. It is not a big gym, but it has good equipment and relatively quiet. It is a bit hard to find on 4F of the building (look up from the street and find “Infinity”sign).

Recommended hotels in Ueno

My recommendation in the 3–4-star category in Ueno goes to Mitsui Garden Hotel Ueno. Ueno does not have luxury hotels, and this is probably the most modern hotel in a good location in Ueno. There is a small restaurant on the ground floor where you can have a good Japanese buffet breakfast at a reasonable cost. Most importantly, it is only 1 min walk to a local gym: Infinity 24H Fitness Gym. Also, you can go to Ueno park for jogging. Check out the review and price from here.

Nohga Hotel Ueno Tokyo is another good hotel in Ueno for fitness travelers. This 4-star hotel is located in a quiet back street and has a small gym room (2 cardio machines, 2 muscle machines, and free weights up to 10kg). It looks bigger because of mirror on the wall but is actually very small. Maximum of two people can use it at the same time. If it is full (with 2 people), then you can still walk to Infinity 24H Fitness Gym in 5 min. I stayed many times. Their breakfast is very high quality. Check out the price and review from here.

MIMARU TOKYO UENO EAST is a great option if you want a larger space for your family. Most rooms are designed for family stay with kitchen and very nice and comfortable. It is located in a quiet area of Ueno though it is still close to Ueno station and main area. If you are an Anytime Fitness member, you can go to Anytime Fitness Ueno in 4 mins walk. If you want a gym selling a day pass, you can go to Infinity 24H Fitness Gym in 4 mins walk.
