A holiday afternoon, and the walk leads to the Kichijoji Higashicho location.
The ekimae store is familiar ground — the energy, the crowds. This one sits a little further out. 8 minutes on foot. Down a stairway into the basement.
The door opens onto a different kind of air entirely.

Access
8 minutes on foot from Kichijoji Station. The extra distance from the ekimae store buys some distance from the noise, too.
Atmosphere and Equipment
A single long, narrow floor, splitting left and right past the entrance.
To the left, a stretching area with no mats laid out. Beyond it, plate-loaded machines and free weights. To the right, cardio machines and weight-stack equipment.
3 adjustable benches, 3 Smith racks. Dumbbells run heavy, light, heavy — a small detail that hints at some real thought behind the layout.
Lockers, restrooms, and showers all feel sufficient. A free hydrogen water server is a quiet bonus.
Not spacious, by any measure. But compared to the ekimae store, the equipment breathes a little more.
Crowd Levels
Midday on a public holiday, and the floor stays uncrowded.
The energy here runs calmer than at the ekimae store — everyone moving at their own pace, quietly, without much fanfare.
The Wi-Fi signal runs a bit weak.
Neighborhood
The streets outside stay as lively as ever. What sets this neighborhood apart is the sheer range of ways to spend the time after a workout.
A walk through Inokashira Park. Some shopping. A movie, or a coffee. All of it sits within easy reach.
Overall Review
The ekimae store and the Higashicho store — both Anytime Fitness in Kichijoji, yet worlds apart in character.
Ekimae carries energy and momentum. Higashicho carries calm and breathing room.
For anyone chasing a quieter pace, this is the pick.
