Meet JR East’s modern E721 Series — the low-floor, barrier-free EMU that defines today’s railway scene in Southern Tohoku. Released in 2007 for the Sendai region and later expanded with the 1000 series in 2016, this train family offers a rich variety of formations and operations. Active across major Tohoku lines and compatible with popular models like the 701 series (Sendai livery) and HB-E300 “SATONO,” the E721 series is ideal for creating authentic modern Tohoku layouts.

This lineup brings you three options: a 0 series two-car one-man set, a 1000 series four-car set, and a special six-car combined formation!
