Atami Station (熱海駅 Atami-eki?) is a railway station in Atami, Shizuoka, Japan, jointly operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central).
Atami Station is served by the Tokaido Main Line, Tokaido Shinkansen, and Ito Line. The station is 104.6 km from Tokyo Station.
Due to its location on the side of a steep hill, Atami Station is built on several levels. On the lowest level is the station building itself, with automated ticket machines, Suica automated turnstiles and a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office. The Tokaido Main Line and Ito Line share one side platform and two island platforms with five tracks connected by an underpass to the station building. The Tokaido Shinkansen with two opposing side platforms is one level higher, and is connected to the lower platforms by an underpass.
Atami Station opened on March 25, 1925. On December 1, 1934 the Tanna Tunnel was completed, and through service to Mishima and Numazu began. The Ito Line began operations at Atami from March 30, 1935. The Tokaido Shinkansen opened on October 1, 1964.
