KATO is proud to present the redesigned Series 700 Shinkansen including revised car numbers, which will be available in a completely new set configuration this summer. The Series 700 Shinkansen was mainly used in Japan’s fastest train service [Nozomi] on the Tokaido / Sanyo Shinkansen line until its retirement in March 2020.

This model is the design basis of its two successors, the Series N700 and N700A, which have the same unique aerodynamic nose giving them their well-known characteristic design. The Series 700 Shinkansen comes with finely printed details, such as the train composition number on the front glass, the Series 700 logo – previously only applied as a sticker – and the “no-smoking” signs.

The “AMBITIOUS JAPAN!” logo for cars no. 1 and 16, and the 「ありがとう」“Thank you” decoration seen during the last train ride of the Series 700 Shinkansen are included as stickers for self-installation.
