The Tōkaidō Main Line at the Seiken-ji Temple in 2006

A Central Japan Railway Company 211-5000 series electric multiple unit train passes the Seiken-ji Temple on the Tōkaidō Main Line between Okitsu and Shimizu stations. The Tōkaidō Main Line, connecting Tōkyō and Kōbe stations, was relegated to a secondary role for local trains after the opening of high-speed Tōkaidō Shinkansen line in 1964, and today other than certain overnight services there are no passenger trains that run the full length of the old line.
