Atami is a separation station on the northeastern end of the mountainous Izu Peninsula . Two of the most important railway lines in Japan, the Tōkaidō Shinkansen and the Tōkaidō main line , run parallel here. From the latter, the Itō line branches off to the south, which forms an operational unit with the subsequent Izu-Kyūkō line to Shimoda . The JR Central railway company is solely responsible for traffic on the Shinkansen express route . Responsibility is shared on the other lines. The traffic on the Tōkaidō main line in the direction of Tokyo is carried out by JR East, the traffic going west in the direction of Nagoya is handled by JR Central. On the Itō Line and the Izu-Kyūkō Line, JR East carries out all long-distance traffic, while regional traffic is the responsibility of the Izu Kyūkō railway company .
On the Shinkansen high-speed line , Atami is usually served twice per hour and direction by Kodama trains, which stop at all intermediate stations. This offer is supplemented by three daily pairs of Hikari trains that skip individual intermediate stations. On the Tōkaidō main line, JR East trains run three to five times an hour in the direction of Tokyo , including the Rapid Acty express train ( 快速 ア ク テ ィ ー ); Trains from JR Central to Shizuoka run two to four times an hour. End-to-end connections are rare; these are usually Odoriko express trains from Tokyo to Shuzenji . The night trains Sunrise Izumo ( サ ン ラ イ ズ 出 雲 ) and Sunrise Seto ( サ ン ラ イ ズ 瀬 戸 ) also stop in Atami . Local transport runs every half an hour on the Itō line , supplemented by other Odoriko express trains from Tokyo to Shimoda .
The bus station in front of the reception building is served by over a dozen lines from the companies Izu Tokai Bus and Izuhakone Bus .

The station is located north of the center in the Taharahoncho district and is oriented from northeast to southwest. Due to its location on a mountain slope, it is built in terraces. The three-storey reception building is on the lowest level . The Lusca Atami shopping center is integrated into this . It has more than 30 shops, a tourist information center and a publicly accessible attic with a restaurant. It is managed by Shonan Station Building , a subsidiary of JR East. The trains of the conventional rail traffic stop on five tracks, which are on a house platform and on two middle platforms (all covered). Two further, adjacent through tracks are used for freight traffic.
On a second level, higher up on the mountainside, the two tracks of the Tōkaidō-Shinkansen high-speed line are located on two completely covered side platforms . Japan's first platform screen doors were installed here in 1974 . The section of the high-speed line between the train station and the east portal of the Shin Tanna tunnel has the narrowest curve in the entire Japanese high-speed network; its radius is 1500 m. The Nozomi trains that pass Atami without stopping here run at 185 km / h, which is the lowest speed in a Shinkansen station.
In 2016, an average of 14,460 passengers used the station every day. Of these, 10,057 are on the conventional lines and 4583 on the Shinkansen.

history
Atami had been famous for its hot springs for centuries , but it was not on Tōkaidō , Japan's most important postal and trade route. When the later Tōkaidō main line between Tokyo and Kōbe was completed in 1889 , it moved further away from the Pacific coast than the road along today's Gotemba Line , so that it bypassed the Hakone volcanic massif and the steep mountains near Atami. 1895/96 the Atami Railway was opened in two stages , a hand-operated railway along Sagami Bay to Odawara , where it made a connection to the Odawara tram to Kōzu station on the Tōkaidō main line. From 1907 the Atami Railway was a steam tram , but operations had to be abandoned after the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923.
In 1918 the Ministry of Railways began building a new line from Kōzu to Numazu , including the Tanna Tunnel . The section between Yugawara and Atami was completed seven years later and went into operation on March 25, 1925. Only after nine more years, from December 1, 1934, did the trains continue to run through the tunnel to Mishima and Numazu. This made Atami a through station on the main Tokyo – Nagoya – Osaka route . The Ministry of Railways opened the first section of the Ito line to Ajiro on March 30, 1935 and extended it three and a half years later to Ito .
With the opening of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen on October 1, 1964, Atami received a connection to the high-speed network. On September 1, 1966, the Japanese State Railways stopped freight traffic, and on November 1, 1986 also checked baggage. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the older part of the station went into the joint ownership of the new companies JR Central and JR East on April 1, 1987 , while JR Central took over the Shinkansen station part under sole responsibility. In November 2010, the complete new construction of the station began. First, the neighboring Lusca Atami shopping center was demolished and a temporary reception building was built in its place by November 2011 so that the old one could be replaced. The new reception building was completed in November 2015, and the new shopping center integrated in it was also built in November 2016.
