The 923-3000 Series T5 trainset, better known as “Doctor Yellow,” is a Shinkansen inspection train used on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines. Its distinctive yellow appearance has made it a favorite among railway fans and travelers.

With the T5 trainset scheduled to retire in January 2027, KATO commemorates this iconic Shinkansen with a new Special Edition 7-Car Set featuring the current “Thank You” logos.
