Q: How to get from Tokyo station to Atami by train?

To travel from Tokyo station to Atami, the most efficient method is to take trains operated by Japan Railways (JR). You have two main options. The fastest is the Shinkansen (bullet train) on the Tokaido Shinkansen line, with frequent departures from Tokyo station or Shinagawa Station. The "Hikari" and "Kodama" services directly serve Atami. A more economical alternative, offering a glimpse of the local scenery, is the JR Tokaido Line, a local or rapid train service that also reaches Atami from Tokyo station . We recommend checking the schedules and departure platforms on the station display boards.

Q: How long does it take to get from Tokyo station to Atami?

Travel time varies significantly depending on the type of train chosen. With the Shinkansen (Hikari or Kodama services), the journey from Tokyo station to Atami generally takes between 40 and 50 minutes. These trains are renowned for their punctuality. If you opt for a local or rapid train on the JR Tokaido Line, the journey duration is longer, usually between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours. This option often involves more stops and can offer a different immersion into the landscape.

Q: What is the price of a Shinkansen ticket from Tokyo station to Atami?

The cost of a Shinkansen ticket between Tokyo station and Atami depends on whether you choose an unreserved or a reserved seat. A one-way ticket for an unreserved seat costs approximately 3,740 yen. For a reserved seat, the price is slightly higher, around 4,270 yen. Please note that prices may vary slightly depending on the season or the type of train (the "Nozomi" services are more expensive and not covered by the JR Pass, and not all of them stop at Atami). Tickets can be purchased at JR ticket offices (Midori-no-madoguchi) or via ticket vending machines at major stations.

Q: Is Atami accessible with the JR Pass?

Yes, Atami is accessible with the Japan Rail Pass. The "Hikari" and "Kodama" Shinkansen services on the Tokaido Shinkansen line are fully covered by the JR Pass. It is important to remember that the "Nozomi" service, although operating on the same line, is not included in the JR Pass. Similarly, local and rapid trains on the JR Tokaido Line are also covered by the pass. We recommend reserving your seat in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak periods, by presenting your JR Pass at JR ticket offices.

The Tokyo station-Atami route is one of the fastest sections of the Tokaido Shinkansen, connecting the capital to the sea in just 40 to 45 minutes. This journey marks the entry into the volcanic region of the Izu Peninsula: after passing Odawara, the track runs along the cliffs of Sagami Bay, offering a clear view of the Pacific Ocean on the left side of the train. Atami Station is built on a hillside, a topography that has dictated a multi-level architecture where hot springs (onsen) are tapped directly beneath the station area.
