Training trips

To Kita-Urawa, from anywhere in Japan.

Why here

Seven minutes from Omiya.

B.A.D. GYM URAWA is one minute on foot from the west exit of Kita-Urawa Station on the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line. One stop earlier is Omiya, where all six shinkansen lines - Tohoku, Hokkaido, Akita, Yamagata, Joetsu and Hokuriku - stop. Get off the shinkansen at Omiya: three local stops, seven minutes. From northern Japan, Shinetsu and Hokuriku, this can be closer than a gym in central Tokyo.
