For Anytime Fitness members, nothing is more joyous than seeing the big purple logo in an unknown land, but this branch is particularly nice.
Sapporo is the capital city of Hokkaido and home to the annual Sapporo Snow Festival that takes place every winter at Odori Park. When the prefecture is covered in snow, places that once looked ordinary suddenly take on a magical charm, much like this Anytime Fitness gym in the Yamahana district of Sapporo.
Cute Welcome Message
It’s pretty cool how this gym is set up on the upper floor of a two-story building, particularly with the huge transparent glass windows that look out to Sapporo’s backstreets.
Running on the treadmill while watching the slow, soft fall of snow is quite a serene experience and quite therapeutic for the soul.
I also quite like the cute welcome message that reads kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegaishimasu or “let’s do our best this year too,” complete with an ominously adorable drawing of a chubby little pigeon.
Sushi Around The Corner!
Matsuriya Yamahana is, to this day, the best sushi restaurant I’ve ever been to.
Just around the corner from the Yamahana Anytime Fitness, you can indulge in nutritious sashimi and rice for the perfect recovery.
Affordable, premium-quality sushi that truly reflects the freshness of Hokkaido’s seafood, I guarantee you an unforgettable dining experience at Matsuriya Yamahana!
