A new type of train has been unveiled in the Yamaguchi area for the first time in 45 years. JR West Japan unveiled three series of 227 series trains, "RedWing," "Urara," and "Kizashi," which will run on the Sanyo Line, to the press at the Shimonoseki General Rolling Stock Depot in Shimonoseki City. Of these, "Kizashi" is the first new type of train to be introduced in the Yamaguchi area, following the "RedWing" in the Hiroshima area and the "Urara" in the Okayama area. The nickname "Kizashi" embodies the desire to bring about a new transformation in the Yamaguchi area. The design concept is "Sunshine of the Restoration." The jet blackness before dawn and the golden light shining through express the historical image of Yamaguchi. The interior prioritizes ease of boarding and alighting, with expanded space near the entrances. Destination displays support both Japanese and English. Furthermore, barrier-free restrooms and spaces for wheelchair and stroller users are provided, making it a user-friendly design for everyone. "Kizashi" will be introduced between Iwakuni Station and Shimonoseki Station, with a total of nine train sets (two-car and three-car configurations) scheduled to gradually replace existing trains starting this summer. It's a noteworthy train that will bring a fresh new look to Yamaguchi's railways.
