This article describes the part of the Tōkaidō Main Line , one of the most important railway lines in Japan , located in the eastern half of the Chūbu region . The kapspurige , city, Shizuoka centered leg is 189.0 km long and is used by the railway company JR Central operates. From Atami it leads via Shizuoka and Hamamatsu to Toyohashi . It is almost entirely in Shizuoka Prefecture , the westernmost part of Aichi Prefecture .
The general features and history of the entire Tokyo - Kobe route are covered in the main article. Further sections:

Route description
The eastern starting point is Atami train station . The following Kinomiya station is only served by trains on the Itō line , but Tōkaidō trains from JR East use it to turn around. The area of responsibility of JR Central and the 7804 m long Tanna tunnel begin immediately afterwards . This leads through the tectonically active foothills of the Taga volcano to Mishima . In Numazu the route reaches the coast again. The section described above was only created four decades after the completion of the Tōkaidō main line; Until then, the trains between Kōzu and Numazu drove today's Gotemba line , which circles the Hakone mountain range on its north side.
South of the Ashitaka volcano, we continue along Suruga Bay . After crossing the Fuji River , the route turns south-west and follows a very narrow coastal strip. In the area of the Satta Pass, the Tōkaidō main line, the national road 1 and the Tōmei motorway run parallel in a very small space. After the prefectural capital of Shizuoka and the crossing of the Abe, there follows a stretch of coast characterized by steep cliffs. Originally the route in this area led through two tunnels directly on the coast. Since the route strongly rockfall was, it was replaced in 1942 by the 2,174 m long tunnel Nihonzaka and left to decay since then. The Tōkaidō main line used the Nihonzaka tunnel until 1962, when it was transferred to the Tōkaidō Shinkansen high-speed line, which was then under construction . The Ishibe tunnel with a length of 2205 m was built as a replacement.
Over the Shida plain, the route runs back inland and bridges the Ōi at Kanaya . Then the Makinohara plateau near Kikugawa is overcome with the 1056 m long Makinohara tunnel and a winding route , before the route approaches the coast again. She crosses the Tenryū and reaches the city of Hamamatsu . On the western outskirts, it crosses Lake Hamana parallel to the Tōkaidō Shinkansen . For this purpose, it is led over Benten-jima, an island in the estuary. Immediately after Shinjohara is the border with Aichi Prefecture . Finally the section ends in Toyohashi .
Trains
The supra-regional long-distance traffic is now largely handled on the parallel high-speed route Tōkaidō-Shinkansen . There are no express trains that travel the entire length of the Atami – Toyohashi section. In contrast , there are so-called "Limited Express" ( 新 快速 , Shin kaisoku ), which operate on a shorter section of the Tōkaidō main line and on an adjoining route. These include the Fujikawa ( ふ じ か わ ) from Shizuoka to Kōfu or the Odoriko ( 踊 り 子 ) from Tokyo via Mishima to Shuzenji . 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.
Regional trains run three to six times an hour, depending on the route section and time of day. Here, too, it is true that no train covers the entire distance between Atami and Toyohashi; also can train movements and train lengths vary. Some trains run from Hamamatsu to Nagoya , so there is no need to change trains in Toyohashi. The night trains Sunrise Izumo ( サ ン ラ イ ズ 出 雲 ) and Sunrise Seto ( サ ン ラ イ ズ 瀬 戸 ) also operate on the Tōkaidō main line. The rail freight by JR Freight handled.
