Meanwhile in East Japan...this is the 653 series, "Fresh Hitachi," a strange design with bright colors--nice first class seats here!pic.twitter.com/pQ45ouJHWm
The 657, Super Hitachi, is the premium express train on the Joban line--very similar design to the Imperial Trainpic.twitter.com/lb3mV1tlry
The 253 series used to be for Narita Airport service, but now runs to Nikko shrine insteadpic.twitter.com/JcFNMgDf0I
Narita Express service is handled nowadays by the 259 seriespic.twitter.com/qBN9283yAU
The 255 series connects Tokyo to beaches in Chiba as the Wakashio or Sazanami limited expresspic.twitter.com/2Ez0RnrUY0
The 257 is mostly used for limited express service between Tokyo and Matsumoto as Azusa or Kaijipic.twitter.com/GX1P3MDsCN
The Super Azusa service, following the same corridor but with fewer stops, uses the E351 series...pic.twitter.com/O1Z3oxIzcg
...but the new E353 series is entering service on the route too, brand new--no interior shots yet!pic.twitter.com/NmPBhM2Fhx
Far outside Tokyo, a very strange design--the E751 series, Tsugaru. Very nice interiors, thoughpic.twitter.com/W3MWF2jVff
Moving on from express trains...commuter interiors, E233 series, Tokyo area--last pic is reserved seat (for elderly, etc)pic.twitter.com/w4b5ZRlxeO
First class commuter interiors--these are on double-deck carriages (top is blue, bottom is pink)pic.twitter.com/caWKw8jjy1
To wrap things up, a look inside the high-speed trains connecting Tokyo with Tohoku and Hokkaido...
First, the E2 series--this is the basic model that runs on the Tohoku and Joetsu Shinkansen linespic.twitter.com/Hpj8nLiV60
The E3 series was introduced for Komachi service to Akita, but now runs to Shinjo and Yamagata as the Tsubasa instead...pic.twitter.com/siVfLALFXU
...but there's also a limited-service Tsubasa, called Toreiyu, a hot-springs train...pic.twitter.com/zpuM0RBE7S
...by which I mean there are on-board hot tubs (and plenty of alcohol)pic.twitter.com/qwNQt4NQth
The E5 and H5 series (essentially the same design, just different color stripe) is the fastest model on the East Japan Shinkansen...pic.twitter.com/GhLMF9uhFY
...it offers standard-class, first-class, and "Gran Class" seatingpic.twitter.com/hAbEtCHi4E
Finally, the E6, used on Komachi service to Akitapic.twitter.com/03gQVVURBP
