How to get to the Atami Plum Festival
Atami, in Shizuoka Prefecture, is a 45-minute ride from Tokyo Station on the Kodama Shinkansen; otherwise, it takes just around 1 hour and 40 minutes on the Tokaido Line. At Atami Station, transfer to the Ito line for Kinomiya Station. From there, it is a 10-minute walk to the gardens.
You can also catch a bus (15 minutes), which runs four times an hour, direct to the gardens from bus stop no 1 in front of Atami Station; get off at the ‘Baien’ stop.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.Add to Calendar
