is a railway station in the city of Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, jointly operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central).
Atami Station is served by the JR Central Tōkaidō Shinkansen and is 104.6 km from Tokyo Station, as well as Tōkaidō Main Line serves extending westward from Atami. The JR East portion of the station serves the Tōkaidō Main Line between Tokyo Station and Atami, and the station is also the northern terminal station of the Itō Line.
Due to its location on the side of a steep hill, Atami Station is built on several levels.

The Tōkaidō Main Line and Ito Line share one side platform and two island platforms with five tracks connected by an underground passage to the station building. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen with two opposing side platforms is one level higher, and is connected to the lower platforms by an underground passage.
