Outdoor Gyms in Yokohama

Japan's second most populous city is a historic port on Tokyo Bay whose harbour front has been regenerated into waterfront parks, promenades and open public spaces popular with walkers and runners. Hilly residential districts, seaside parks and neighbourhood parks equipped with health equipment for older residents give the city a varied setting for outdoor exercise close to where people live. Like most of Japan, Yokohama treats outdoor fitness as public infrastructure: equipment installed in parks and green spaces, free to use, and built to the EN 16630 safety standard.

Training outdoors in Yokohama through the year

A humid subtropical climate very similar to neighbouring Tokyo brings hot, humid summers, a June rainy season and typhoon risk in late summer and autumn, slightly moderated by sea breezes off Tokyo Bay, with mild and mostly dry winters. Spring and autumn are the prime seasons for outdoor training, and winter mornings are often crisp and clear. Planning around the seasons - and choosing equipment that stands up to the local weather - is what keeps an outdoor gym useful year-round. Our guide to outdoor training covers how to build a routine you can keep in any climate.
