Numazu is a separation station on the Tōkaidō Main Line , one of the most important railway lines in Japan. From this the Gotemba Line branches off, which was part of the Tōkaidō main line until 1934 and has been an alternative route since then. JR Central carries out passenger traffic on both routes. The supraregional long-distance traffic is largely handled in the nearby Mishima station , which is on the Tōkaidō-Shinkansen high-speed line .
Numazu is the western terminus of nine daily express trains to Tokyo , seven of which continue to Utsunomiya or Takasaki . The Home Liner ( ホ ー ム ラ イ ナ ー ) from Numazu via Shizuoka to Hamamatsu is an express train with reserved seats during peak traffic. 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 Numazu . Regional trains run on the Tōkaidō main line , depending on the route section and time of day, three to six times an hour. You usually drive the section between Atami and Shizuoka. On the Gotemba line, regional trains run at irregular intervals (approx. Every 30 to 60 minutes) via Gotemba to Kōzu , with stops at all stations. The offer is supplemented during rush hour by repeater trains to Gotemba.
The bus terminal on the southern station forecourt is served by several dozen bus routes operated by Izuhakone Bus , Tōkai Bus Orange Shuttle and Fujikyū City Bus . The latter runs the city bus and also serves a stop on the northern station forecourt with several lines.

The station is on the northern edge of the city center. It is oriented from east to west and has 13 tracks. Seven of them serve as stabling and shunting tracks and six for passenger traffic. The latter are located on three covered central platforms . At their western end they are connected by a covered overpass to the main reception building on the south side and the secondary reception building on the north side of the facility. In the eastern part, an underpass connects the platforms with the main building.
About one kilometer west of the passenger station is a freight station operated by JR Freight . It consists of three tracks for container transport , six tracks for wagonload traffic and a goods shed . A siding leads to the work of the electronics group Meidensha . There is a parking facility on the Gotemba line east of the station.

history
On February 1, 1889, the state railway opened a section of the Tōkaidō main line , which led from Kōzu via Gotemba and Numazu to Shizuoka . Five months later, on July 1, 1889, the continuous connection between Tokyo and Kobe was completed. Numazu was an important stopover from the start. The importance increased further when on November 15, 1899 the port railway branching off at the station (3.2 km in length) went into operation. Both in 1913 and 1926 a major fire destroyed the station building, after which it had to be rebuilt both times.
The steep route via Gotemba increasingly turned out to be a bottleneck, which is why the Ministry of Railways built a new line from 1918, which should branch off in Numazu and lead via Atami to Kōzu. Due to lengthy delays in the construction of the Tanna Tunnel , it could only be opened 16 years later on December 1, 1934. Electric local trains from Tokyo ran from then on to Numazu, while steam locomotives were still in use west of it. In addition, the mountain route via Gotemba was given its current name Gotemba Line . An air raid by the United States Army Air Forces on June 16, 1945 completely destroyed the station building; it was only rebuilt eight years later. From February 1, 1949, the contact wire on the Tōkaidō main line reached beyond Numazu to Shizuoka.
After diesel multiple units had been used on the Gotemba line from 1955 , this line was also electrified on July 1, 1968. In the same year, the Japanese State Railways put systems for container transport into operation in the freight yard . The present reception building has existed since 1973. For reasons of rationalization, the state railway shut down the port railway on September 1, 1974, and on November 1, 1986, it also stopped checking in luggage. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the ownership of the new company JR Central on April 1, 1987 .
From 1906 to 1961 the 6.6 km long Numazu electric tram ran from the southern station forecourt to the Mishima-Hirokōji and Mishima-Tamachi stations on the Sunzu Line .
