The train journey from Odawara to Atami offers travelers a swift transition between the historic city of Odawara, famous for its castle and connection to samurai heritage, and the coastal hot spring resort of Atami. Though short, this route along Sagami Bay provides glimpses of marine landscapes and sometimes the green slopes of the Izu Peninsula. Since the arrival of the railway in the early 20th century, Atami has become a popular destination for its onsen (hot springs) and ocean views, and this brief train trip symbolizes the accessibility of these relaxing destinations from the urban centers of the Kanto region.

Frequently asked questions

To travel from Odawara to Atami, several train options are available, catering to different preferences in terms of speed and cost.

Shinkansen (Kodama) Train: This is the fastest option. Kodama Shinkansen trains connect the two cities in approximately 5 to 8 minutes. This is a very short section of the Tokaido Shinkansen line, often used for transfers.

Local Train (JR Tokaido Line): This option is more economical and offers frequent departures. The journey takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Local trains are a practical and efficient solution for this short distance, allowing you to enjoy the coastal scenery.
We recommend choosing the option that best suits your schedule and budget.

Yes, IC transportation cards such as Suica, Pasmo, or Icoca can be used for local train journeys (JR Tokaido Line) between Odawara and Atami. Simply tap your card on the ticket gates at the entrance and exit of the stations to validate your journey.
For the Shinkansen, direct use of IC cards for a single trip requires the "Touch-and-Go Shinkansen" service for non-reserved seats or a prior reservation linked to the card. For this very short distance, purchasing a separate paper ticket (basic fare + Shinkansen surcharge) is often the most straightforward method if you do not have a Japan Rail Pass or a Shinkansen reservation.
