Sota loves Tokyo the most of all the countries he has been to, but he also enjoys traveling and has visited the United States on multiple occasions, partly because some of the films he has acted in were shot there.
He has also visited various European nations, including Greece, Italy, and Spain, primarily because he enjoys their beaches. Sota works out at the gym many times each week, and he also enjoys basketball and running. He has completed a half-marathon and has set a goal of completing a full marathon of 42.195km in 2020.
