Japan is a great country to explore. Its food, its culture, its people, and its natural wonders—everything’s great here. You’d be hard-pressed to find something you don’t like. Except if you’re trying to find a gym for a short-term visit.

Japan has a host of gyms, the most popular being Gold’s Gym, Konami Sports Club, Anytime Fitness, and Tipness.
