The E233 series (E233系) is a popular type of electric multiple unit (EMU) train in Japan. These trains are used for daily travel in and around cities. They are also used for longer trips between towns.
East Japan Railway Company (JR East) developed these trains. They built upon the designs of earlier trains like the E231 and E531 series. The first E233 train started running in December 2006. It was used on the Chūō Line (Rapid). Since then, many different versions have been made. These versions serve various lines across Japan.
