Climbing in Tokyo

I am moving to Tokyo in a few months and am looking for a gym to train at. I love bouldering, but my wife also wants a gym with top rope. Anyone know of any good gyms that have both? What are the best gyms in Tokyo?

Thanks for the help!

What part of the city are you going to be in? Tokyo is pretty big ;)

We'll be working near rippongi hills so anywhere near there would be cool. Or really anywhere in the area. We don't have an apartment yet and being near a climbing gym is what we are looking for

Bouldering gyms are plentiful in Tokyo; for that area, Noborock at Shibuya and T-Wall Shinbashi are popular with my friends. Looks like there's a place called Climbing Gym SPIDER nearby, too.

As for gyms with roped climbing, they're a bit harder to come by. T-Wall Kinshicho, T-Wall Edogawabashi, Rocklands...all at least 30 minutes and one transfer away from Roppongi, though.

A search for "climbing gym" on Google Maps will bring up most of the options, so you might play around with that while you're apartment searching.

I would not classify it as "climbing" in almost any way. But definitely climb Mt. Fuji. Ooohh boy, THAT is an experience.

Not super near to Tokyo, but if you're willing to go all the way to Fuji, go climb at Mt. Mitsutoge and climb. It's all sport, but has a wide variety of routes. It's about an hour approach from the easiest way, or two hours if you take in the view from Chureito Pagoda first.

You can see TOPO: Japanease Crags

Recently Gozeniwa is one of a popular crag among Tokyo climbers.
It's just on Tokyo.

If you come to Tokyo in winter season, Jyogasaki is a good crag.
That is south of Tokyo, so it's warmer than Tokyo.
You can get there by train only 2 hours from Tokyo.
