● Item Introduction

The Hokkaido Shinkansen, which began operations on March 26, 2016, will be updated to the current specification for this new product. The H5 series, introduced alongside the initial opening of the line between Shin-Aomori and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, is based on the JR East E5 series but with some modifications to both the interior and exterior. While the exterior color scheme is similar to the E5 series, it features a lavender-colored stripe known as "Ayaka Purple," and a symbol mark inspired by Hokkaido and the white falcon is displayed on five cars in the formation.

◆ This product features a slotless motor for improved performance and has an updated set configuration. As a result, the product number, retail price, and JAN code have been changed.
