Product Description

--The third revival color for the E657 series! The new yellow Jonquil paint scheme, inspired by Hitachi Seaside Park and daffodils, is here!

[Product Introduction]
- The E657 series was introduced in 2011 as an AC/DC express train for the Joban Line, and is still the line's flagship express train today.
- In conjunction with the Ibaraki Destination Campaign in 2023, the E657 series has been repainted in the image of the former E653 series [Fresh Hitachi], attracting attention not only from people living along the line but also from many railway fans. The actual train is available in a total of five colors, and the third in the KATO lineup will be the yellow-painted K2 formation.
