- "Super Yakumo" appeared in 1994 as an express train of the Hakubi Line's limited express "Yakumo". Unlike the 381 series of "Yakumo", it was upgraded with a panoramic front car for green cars and wider seat pitch for ordinary cars. The body is a light purple base with three stripes, and the front and sides of each leading car are designed with the letters "SUPER YAKUMO 381" and "WEST JAPAN RAILWAY COMPANY SUPER YAKUMO" in red. In addition to adding and removing cars depending on the busy and slow seasons, it was used in various ways, such as being mixed with the green "Yakumo" and being operated as a regular "Yakumo".

-Of the 381 series "Yuttari Yakumo" trains that were in regular service until June 15, 2024, one train was repainted in the "Super Yakumo" livery and revived between February 17, 2023 and April 5, 2024, attracting attention.

-In addition to the purple-colored trains, you can also enjoy mixed and passing trains with the green-banded 381 series "Yakumo" (renewed trains) that were in service at the same time.
