Numazu Station

About This Station

Numazu Station serves as a regional hub for the Izu Peninsula and sits on the JR Tokaido Main Line with rapid access to Tokyo in about 90 minutes via shinkansen interchange at Atami. The station is a commercial centre for Numazu City, which has a population around 200,000. Local amenities are solid: shops, hospitals, schools, and parks support a livable environment. Investment apartments can be found in the 3-6M yen range with yields of 4-5%. Tourism potential comes from Izu Peninsula day-trippers and Mount Fuji tourism, but the station itself is not a primary gateway. The city's economy is stable but showing signs of gradual decline in working-age population. Yields and capital appreciation are modest. This is suitable for conservative investors seeking a secondary city with historical stability and manageable entry costs.
