Numazu沼津
Give Numazu one night for the port seafood and the Fuji view over Suruga Bay; skip it if you only have time for Mishima or Hakone.
Numazu sits on the JR Tokaido Main Line between Atami and Shizuoka, and is the terminus of the Gotemba Line. It is a working fishing port with a deep-sea aquarium, a pine-backed beach and a cheap water-gate viewpoint, and it is the closest Tokaido town to the Uchiura coast. Most travellers use it as a single night between Hakone and Shizuoka, or as a base for the western Izu Peninsula.

Getting around
The centre is walkable from Numazu Station, but the port, Senbon Beach and Uchiura need a bus. Tokai and Izu-Hakone buses leave from the station for Numazu Port, Senbon-hama-koen and Uchiura. The JR Tokaido Main Line runs east to Mishima and Atami and west to Fuji and Shizuoka; the Gotemba Line starts here.

- Port restaurants close early and some shut one day a week; check before you travel out.
- Summer is hot and humid, and the beach and port are exposed; carry water.
