Description

The E353 series, which began commercial operation in December 2017 (2017), is a successor vehicle to the E257 series and E351 series, which had previously been active in Azusa and Kaiji. A major feature is the use of an air spring-type body tilting device and curvilinear passage performance equivalent to that of the E351 series.

A simple, powerful design with a sense of speed, with a band of Azusa violet on the body of Alpine White, symbolizes the very next-generation express train.
This unit is currently active in "Super Azusa", "Azusa" and "Kaiji".
Equipped with KATO's original body tilt mechanism, you can enjoy a realistic curve passing scene approaching a real vehicle.
