Seats

Old-type passenger car

This is a general term for passenger cars built before the Series 10 passenger cars. In April 2020, the interiors of the old passenger car interiors were refurbished, bringing back the classic wood-grain ambience of the era when they were manufactured, and a new lounge car was added.

Series 12 passenger car

Passenger cars with express-type seating were built to accommodate the post-1970 increase in passenger traffic. The striking blue of the train body leaves a lasting impression. They were the first passenger cars equipped with air conditioning, heating, and automatic doors, and became a model for later Japan National Railways (JNR) passenger cars.
