Darren, Chris has probably got his head stuck in a mash tun, so I'll answer. Yes, you can easily get there by train. Either Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo (or Shinagawa or Yokohama) to Mishima then switch to a local Tokaido line for a couple of stops to Numazu (1 hr/~$50), or Tokaido line all the way (same route, but stops at more stations, 2.5 hrs/$30). Then from the station (see the Baird web site) you have a choice of shank's pony (20 min), bus (once or twice an hour) or taxi (maybe $10).
A very important resource for travel planning by train in Japan is this one: http://www.hyperdia.com/cgi-english/hyperWeb.cgi ... just type in Shinagawa and Numazu as an example to see how it works.
Do you plan on being on JR train passes? That would certainly make it easier.
