Currently out of production. Information below for reference only:

The E4 Series Shinkansen appeared in 1994 as an all-double-decker Shinkansen next to the E1 Series. Based on the 8-car train, it was also operated in a 16-car train with 2 trains combined, and in addition to the E4 series, it was also operated in combination with the E3 series Yamagata Shinkansen "Tsubasa". Since the appearance of the E5 series, it has been mainly operated on the Joetsu Shinkansen, and in 2014, the band color was changed from yellow to pink.

The service ended in October 2021, much to the regret of many people.
