Seven minutes on foot from Musashi-Urawa Station on the JR Saikyo and Musashino lines.
This is a Hammer Strength Silver Plate certified location — and the title is well earned.
The gym spans two floors, second and third level, with six Smith machines and power racks, five adjustable benches, a water server, and a coworking space on the second floor. The third floor carries a serious atmosphere, clearly oriented toward dedicated trainers. The overall feel is similar to the Shimoigusa location, though this one feels slightly more spacious. After the session, the walk to Urawa revealed a calm, livable city with a different character from central Tokyo.
Saitama has more to offer than most people expect. This gym is part of that story.

Access
A 5-minute walk from Musashi-Urawa Station on the JR Saikyo and Musashino Lines. Technically outside Tokyo, but easily accessible via the Saikyo Line. The surrounding area has a calm, suburban feel — different from the energy of central Tokyo, but in a way that makes the visit feel like a small escape. Partner parking is available with 2 hours free, making car access straightforward as well.
Facilities & Atmosphere
A two-floor setup occupying the 2nd and 3rd floors of a standalone building — similar in layout to the Shimoigusa location, but with a slightly larger feel overall.
2F houses the reception, showers, cardio machines, weight-stack machines, and a co-working space with 4 seats. A functional base before and after training.
3F is where things get serious. Plate-loaded machines, a full free weights area, and a Hammer Strength Silver Plate certified lineup. With 6 Smith/rack stations and 5 adjustable benches, this floor is built for serious training. The moment you step off the stairs, the atmosphere shifts.
How Busy Does It Get?
Moderately busy — busier than some quieter suburban locations on this pilgrimage. That said, the equipment count is high enough that waiting is rarely a major issue. A 3-star rating for uncrowdedness feels accurate.
The Surrounding Area
Musashi-Urawa has a relaxed, lived-in energy. After the workout, a walk toward Urawa offers a change of scenery — slightly different from the Tokyo side, with its own quiet charm. Stepping outside the Tokyo boundary adds a small sense of adventure to the pilgrimage.
Overall
The monthly fee of ¥8,250 is slightly higher than most locations reviewed here. But the Hammer Strength Silver Plate certification, 6 rack stations, co-working space, and two-floor layout make a strong case for the price.
This is one of the best gyms on this pilgrimage. Worth the trip from Tokyo.
The pilgrimage continues.
