Q: How to get from Atami to Shizuoka by train?

The Shinkansen is the fastest and most direct option to travel from Atami to Shizuoka. The Tokaido Shinkansen line serves both cities. We recommend taking a Kodama train, as these are the only Shinkansen services that stop at both Atami and Shizuoka. Hikari and Nozomi trains do not typically stop at these stations. Local JR Tokaido Line trains are also available, but the travel time is considerably longer and may involve transfers.

Q: What is the price of the Kodama Shinkansen?

The cost of a Kodama Shinkansen ticket between Atami and Shizuoka is generally between 3,000 and 3,500 yen for an unreserved seat. For a reserved seat, the price is slightly higher, ranging from 3,500 to 4,000 yen. Prices may vary depending on the time of year and the type of seat chosen (Standard or Green Car).

When traveling on the Kodama Shinkansen from Atami to Shizuoka, passengers have the opportunity, on a clear day, to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji. This iconic view is generally visible on the right side of the train (north) after leaving Atami, particularly between Mishima and Shin-Fuji stations. This section of the Tokaido Line thus offers a preview of one of Japan's most famous symbols before arriving in Shizuoka Prefecture, known for its landscapes and tea production.
