You Don’t Need to Be a Japanese Resident to Join a Gym 🇯🇵💪
Did you know that even non-residents can sign up for a gym in Japan?
While waiting for our visa approval, we still wanted to keep a healthy routine. Luckily, we found a 24-hour gym just a short walk from our Airbnb — and yes, they allowed us to register for membership without needing residency status.
✨ What we loved:
• Open 24/7 – perfect for any schedule
• Super clean – no sweaty odors, thanks to attentive staff
• Quiet – not crowded, even during peak hours
It’s a great option for travelers, digital nomads, or those in transition who want to stay fit in Japan.
Have you ever tried signing up for a gym abroad? What was your experience like?
