How to get from Atami to Odawara?

The most direct and frequent way is to take the JR Tokaido Line. Local and rapid trains run regularly between the two stations. A faster alternative is the Shinkansen (Tokaido Shinkansen), by using Kodama services, which stop at both Atami and Odawara. However, the time difference is minimal for a higher cost over this short distance.

What is the train ticket price?

For the JR Tokaido Line, the cost of a one-way ticket is approximately 420 yen. For the Kodama Shinkansen, the price includes the base fare (which is the same) plus a Shinkansen surcharge, bringing the total cost to approximately 1,500 yen for a non-reserved seat. We recommend travelers check exact fares on the day of travel, as they may vary slightly.

How long does the journey take?

Taking a local or rapid train on the JR Tokaido Line, the journey takes about 20 to 25 minutes. With the Kodama Shinkansen, the journey is reduced to about 10 to 15 minutes. Trains run frequently on both lines, ensuring regular departures.

Is the JR Pass valid?

Yes, the Japan Rail Pass is valid for travel on the JR Tokaido Line (local and rapid trains) between Atami and Odawara. It is also valid for Kodama Shinkansen services on the Tokaido Shinkansen Line for this route. Travelers can use their JR Pass without additional fees.
