Tokyo has two kinds of “pay-per-visit” gyms: public sports centers, which are usually the cheapest, and private gyms with visitor/day-use plans, which are more expensive but often have better machines, longer hours, or bodybuilding-style equipment.
I validated the list mainly from official municipal / gym pages. I have not included membership-only chains unless I found a real visitor or one-time-use option on the official page.
