The E5 operates between Tokyo and Shin-Aomori, and travels up the eastern coast of Japan to the northern tip of Honshu, the largest of the four islands of Japan.

The E5 features a recessed coupler system that can be deployed (similar to that of the E3 "Komachi" and E4 MAX), allowing it to link up with other E series shinkansen trains for prototypical combined trains.
