Get in

Shizuoka is a stop on the Tokaido Main Line and Tokaido Shinkansen Line between Tokyo and Osaka, and on the Tomei Expressway.

By plane

Shizuoka does not have its own airport. The nearest major airports are Chubu International Airport in Nagoya, and Haneda Airport in Tokyo. It takes approximately two hours to reach Shizuoka from both locations on the fastest train services.

By train

The Tokaido Shinkansen runs one Hikari train per hour which stops at Shizuoka (and pauses for about 5 minutes while faster Nozomi trains barrel through the station). It is one hour from Tokyo, and 50 minutes from Nagoya (both costing ¥6180), 90 minutes from Kyoto (¥9950), and 1 3/4 hours from Shin-Osaka (¥10580) using this train. All-stopping Kodama trains take a bit longer, at the same prices.

Local trains from Tokyo take about 3 1/4 hours at a cost of ¥3260, requiring at least one change of trains at Atami.

You can ride all of these trains for free with the Japan Rail Pass.

By bus

JR Kanto Bus and JR Tokai Bus run frequent daytime services to Shizuoka on the Tomei Expressway between Tokyo and Nagoya. Shizuoka-bound Tokky? buses from Tokyo reach the Shizuoka train station in about 3 hours, at a cost of ¥2850 one way (¥4500 round-trip). Buses not terminating in Shizuoka will only stop at the Shizuoka interchange of the expressway.
