A double-decker E4-series arriving at the popular commuter city of Utsnomiya

An E4-series linked with a 400-series passing Kita-Yono station in Saitama - note how the windows on the lower deck of the E4-series are almost totally obscured by the sound-protection wall in this area where there was much opposition to the construction of the shinkansen line

The E4-series in profile reveals some of its links to the 700-series design

Two E4-series shinkansen joined together - the highest capacity high-speed train service in the world
