However at Gold's Gym in Harajuku on Omotesando Avenue they accept visitors without a membership and paying for one entry only. The cost is 3000 Yen and it includes access so two big floors of training with with classical machines and free weights. There is also group classes, sauna and an onsen bath.
When running on the treadmill on the top floor you have a great view of Tokyo outside the window.
Remember to bring a passport if you don't live in Japan as you have to register.
You find the gym on Omotesando 100 meters from the Harajuku station on Yamanote Line.
