Traveling from Fuji to Atami, passengers can choose between the Fujikyu Railway and the JR Tokaido Line. The JR Tokaido Line features the Limited Express train service, which reaches speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph) and takes approximately 1 hour to cover the distance of about 35 kilometers. This train makes fewer stops, providing a faster route for travelers heading to Atami.
On the other hand, the Fujikyu Railway offers a more scenic journey, although it is not classified as a high-speed service. The local trains operate at lower speeds, about 60 km/h (37 mph), and can take around 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach Atami, depending on the specific train selected. While travelers on the JR Tokaido Line enjoy quicker transit, those on the Fujikyu Railway will benefit from picturesque views of the surrounding Fuji landscape. Each service comes with different onboard amenities tailored to varying passenger preferences.
