Fuji is a regional rail hub in eastern Shizuoka Prefecture, positioned on the Tokaido corridor between Tokyo, Shizuoka, Nagoya, and Osaka. The city has two main passenger stations for intercity travel: Shin-Fuji Station on the Tokaido Shinkansen and Fuji Station on conventional JR Central lines. Shin-Fuji is one of the few Shinkansen stations in Japan not directly connected to a conventional JR station by rail, so travelers should check which Fuji train station their ticket uses.
JR Central operates the main trains from Fuji. Kodama Shinkansen services call at Shin-Fuji for high-speed travel on the Tokaido Shinkansen, while Fuji Station handles Tokaido Main Line regional trains and the Minobu Line north through inland Shizuoka and Yamanashi Prefecture. Inter-station transfer between Shin-Fuji and Fuji Station is by local bus, taxi, or road transfer rather than a direct rail link.
Rail routes from Fuji run east toward Mishima, Atami, Yokohama, and Tokyo, west toward Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Nagoya, and Osaka, and north toward Fujinomiya, Minobu, and Kofu on the Minobu Line. Book trains from and to Fuji online at Rail Monsters.
