The E2 Series Shinkansen are new trains built between 1997 and 2005 for Japan's Jo-etsu, To-hoku and Nagano Shinkansen high-speed dedicated rail lines. They are formed in 8- or 10-car sets, and the 10-car sets can be coupled to E3 Series Shinkansen Komachi sets using couplers hidden behind sliding nose doors.

Their maximum speed is 275 kmh (170 mph) although large stretches of the lines on which they run have lower speed limits. An E2-1000 Series train broke the Japanese rail speed record for a production train (i.e. not a dedicated test train) in April 2003 when it reached a speed of 362 km/h during a series of late-night high-speed test runs between Urasa and Niigata on the Jo-etsu Shinkansen.
