Mutsumi has been doing CrossFit for 3 years after looking for an alternative to her active life in Yoga of which she teaches. She believes that the image of CrossFit being hard is not really a fair comment to make. She finds it makes her life wonderful and really enjoys working out with coaches and friends. For Tokyo hotspots she recommends checking out Asakusa, home to such famous attractions as the Sensō-ji temple and Nakamise dori.
