Step into the everyday rhythm of Tokyo’s urban life with the E231 Series 0 subseries, the backbone of the Musashino Line, Tokyo’s key orbital belt route!

Transferred from the Chūō–Sōbu Line in 2017, these commuter workhorses continue their journey on the Musashino Line, connecting across the Keiyō Line to Tokyo Station, and reaching key spots like Kaihin- Makuhari and Hachiōji via the Shimo-Usa and Musashino services.

◆ KATO now brings the E231-0 to life as part of its model lineup! Pair it with the popular 209 Series (Keiyō Line) or the upcoming 205 Series (Musashino Line final formation) for even more layout fun!
