Access to Shonan Village

See Shonan Village Home Page.

There are several routes from Tokyo area or Narita airport. In general, first move by a train to either Zushi (JR) or Shin-Zushi (Keikyu), and then take a bus or a taxi. For foreigners, we would recommend sharing a taxi from Zushi or Shin-Zushi. The train route/schedule can be searched by using the train route finder below.

Train Schedule Search (not for reservation)

  • Jordan Train Route Finder.
    For destination, enter “Zushi” or “Shin-Zushi”. As Tokyo area is served by several companies, you will see several choices. Please pick one that seems most convenient. An optimal route depends on the departure time.
  • Narita Airport Access Planner. You can search a train schedule from/to Narita Airport.

Recommended routes from Tokyo/Airports to Zushi

Note: The following may not be the best route, depending on the time of departure.

  • From Tokyo Narita Airport.
    Take JR Narita Express to go to “Ofuna” or “Yokohama”, and then take JR Yokosuka Line to Zushi.

Please take a bus (which leaves once in an hour or half an hour, and takes 30 min from Zushi to Shonan Village Center) or a taxi, which costs 2,500 ? 3,000 yen and takes about 20 min.
As a bus driver is not likely to speak English, we recommend sharing a taxi (or finding a company who speaks Japanese, to take a bus). Here are some Japanese messages to show to a taxi driver.
