Walk from the station to Numazu Port

Numazu’s official anime guide identifies the arcade, park and floodgate as settings in the series. This route starts on the south side and follows public streets toward the harbor.

1. Numazu Station South Exit (沼津駅 南口)

Start at the south forecourt. Look for the Aqours manhole cover beside the Numazu Sangyo Building. The city installed it in June 2026. Step aside for people using the station while you look.

2. Nakamise Shopping Street (仲見世商店街)

Walk into the covered shopping street. The city’s guide identifies it as the arcade where Yoshiko runs in season one, episode five. Continue through the arcade toward the river.

3. Chuo Park and Ayumi Bridge (中央公園・あゆみ橋)

Head to the riverside park, the setting for a flea market in season two. Look for the pedestrian bridge and the riverside steps from the park before heading toward the port.

Collect the Aqours manhole card

Before leaving the station, visit the Numazu Tourist Information Center (沼津観光案内所) on the second floor of the Antre station building. The city lists 10 am–6 pm for the free Love Live! Sunshine!! card, one per person in person while stock lasts. The newer cover in the South Exit forecourt is a separate design.

Return from the harbor

Use the Numazu Port bus stop (沼津港) for a bus back to Numazu Station South Exit, or walk. At Numazu, take the Tōkaidō Line toward Mishima and change there for the Shinkansen to Tokyo.
