Red Wing
The 227 series is a commuter train that began operation in 2015, primarily serving as local and rapid trains in the Hiroshima area.
The train's exterior features a predominantly red color scheme, inspired by the torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine and the maple tree, the official tree of Hiroshima Prefecture. It also bears the train's nickname, "Red Wing," and the "Hiroshima City Network" logo.
As of January 2025, 63 three-car trains and 42 two-car trains are in service.
