-The E657 series is the star express train on the Joban Line that was introduced in 2011 as an AC/DC express train for the Joban Line.
In line with the Ibaraki Destination Campaign in 2023, the E657 series has been painted with a design reminiscent of the old E653 series "Fresh Hitachi," attracting attention not only from people along the line but also from many railway fans. The actual train is available in a total of five colors, and the second in KATO's lineup will be the red-painted K12 train.
-This train is ideal for running alongside trains in service at JR East, or as part of a collection of the five colors currently in progress.
