The Tokyu 5000 Series debuted in 2002 as the next-generation standard commuter train for Tokyu Corporation, entering service on the Den-en-toshi Line. Known for its red corporate stripe and distinctive green line-color band above the windows, it operates across three prefectures, running through the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line, the Tobu Skytree Line, and as far as Kuki on the Tobu Isesaki Line and Minami-Kurihashi on the Tobu Nikko Line!

◆The Den-en-toshi Line 5000 Series makes a long-awaited return! This release features a later production group with integrated side displays and high-back seat cars (Cars 4, 5, and 8) replacing former 6-door cars. A perfect match with popular sets like the <10-1760/1761 Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line 18000 Series> and <10-1597/1598 Tobu Railway Skytree Line 50050 Series>, due to its familiar and versatile presence across Tokyo!
