The Aoimori 703 series is the successor to the Aoimori 701 series and was designed and manufactured based on JR East’s E721 series. Like the E721 series, it features a low-floor, barrier-free body structure using small-diameter wheels and an interior layout based on box seats.

The train’s body design is primarily painted in the corporate light blue of Aoimori Railway, and the character “Molly,” the company’s image mascot, is displayed next to the passenger doors. Unlike the Aoimori 701 series, a pink version of Molly is also included in the design.
