Travel to Shimoda


JuteVilla
By train

Shimoda is as far south as you can go by train on the Izu Peninsula. The train station is the terminal of the Izukyu Railway, and is officially known as Izukyu-Shimoda station.

Odoriko trains make multiple daily runs from Tokyo station via the JR Tokaido Main Line. A one-way trip will generally take 2 3/4 hours at a cost of �5890. Holders of the national Japan Rail Pass will have to pay �2070 each way to travel over the Izukyu Railway, but if you have a JR East Rail Pass, the entire journey is fully covered. Note that some Odoriko trains also leave from Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, and that the name of these trains may have different variants; the Super View Odoriko , for example, has wider windows and makes fewer stops.

Local trains take slightly longer, with at least one change of trains required at Atami or Ito, but the cost is much cheaper (�3780)
