  • East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
  • East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
  • Japan ↗IC cards (ICOCA/Suica) are topped up with cash at station machines.
  • Japan ↗Smoking while walking is banned in most city centres; use designated areas.
  • Japan ↗Shinkansen bags 160–250 cm (L+W+H) need a seat reserved with the oversized-baggage area.

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.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

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.

Numazu Port (Senbon-Minato-cho)

Seafood restaurants, the aquarium and View-O within walking distance; few beds, so book ahead.

Quieter, near the pine grove and the dike walk; a bus or a 25–30 min walk from the station.

Watch out

Safety

One of Japan's safer small cities. The real risks are summer heat, the exposed beach and port, and infrequent buses back from Uchiura: check the last return before you set out.
  • You cannot use an IC card from east of Atami, including Tokyo, because the station is run by JR Tokai; buy a paper ticket or adjust your fare at Atami.
  • 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.
  • Buses to Uchiura and the mikan orchards are infrequent; check the last return.

What we know, and what is coming

On this page

  1. Best months: Mar–May, Oct–Nov · avoid Jul–Aug (hot and humid), Golden Week · month by month →
  2. 3 airports and 3 areas to sleep in
  3. Weather: a 7-day forecast and monthly averages
  4. Cost per day in 3 bands
  5. 5 day-trips, door to door

Coming as the guide grows

  1. Airport-to-bed contract for HND and NGO: last-train and last-bus options, taxi fallback, overnight rung.
  2. Four walking clusters with rescue anchors: Numazu Station and Nakamise, Numazu Port, Senbon Beach, Uchiura.
  3. Place pages with verified cutoffs (View-O, Deepblue Aquarium, Senbon Beach, Mt. Hottanjo) and eat pages with last orders.
  4. Golden and hostile arrival fixtures so gates A–D can go green.
