Gym and sauna in Yokohama: choosing Renaissance Yokohama 24

Combine activities without another journey

Using a gym and bathing facility on the same day involves travel and changing time too. Renaissance Yokohama 24 lists a gym, pools, baths, a dry sauna and a mist sauna. Access is a 10-minute walk from Yokohama Station's west exit or five minutes from Hiranumabashi Station.[1][2] This selection guide draws on published material and a personal account, not an editorial on-site visit.

First choose the activities you will combine

The official facilities guide lists a 25 m large pool and a 12.5 m small pool.[1] You need not combine strength training and swimming every visit. Sketch a week—gym on weekdays, swimming at weekends, bathing when time is short—before assessing the facilities.

Open swimming and lessons have different schedules, so check lane availability on your intended day first. Replace the general fact that a pool exists with the specific question of whether you can use it when you arrive.

A 24-hour gym does not mean an all-night sauna

Official regular hours are Tuesday–Friday 10:00–23:00, Saturday 10:00–21:00, and Sunday and public holidays 10:00–20:00. Eligible memberships provide 24-hour gym access, except the closure from Sunday at 20:00 until Tuesday at 07:00. Pool use ends 30 minutes before regular closing.[4]

If work finishes unpredictably, separately imagine arriving at 21:30 and at 23:00. Check final entry and closing times for every area you want, particularly bathing, to reveal restrictions a membership name alone does not explain.

Use reviews to calibrate expectations about space

An Ameba post on 'Meta-chan's Golf & Tech.' described a first after-work visit involving running, strength training and sauna use. Compared with another branch, the writer found the changing and bathing spaces compact.[3]

That is one person's impression, not a measurement or a survey of all users. If space matters to you, check locker availability, movement between machines and room for getting ready at your intended visit time.

Read the pricing table for pool eligibility too

The official regular Full Member Self Plus plan lists ¥9,790 monthly including tax. The Gym and Sauna Trial membership excludes pool use, and trial plans have maximum periods and membership conditions.[5]

When you see a low price, record eligibility, included areas, the following plan and initial fees. Include whether you will bring or rent towels, and compare several months of payments to find an option that fits your plans.

Compare what matters to you.

Who this may suit

• People around Yokohama or Hiranumabashi who want to alternate gym, swimming and bathing.
• People who can distinguish late-night strength training from bathing during regular hours.
