The E351 series is a DC electric multiple unit operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on Chūō Main Line "Super Azusa" Limited express services. First introduced in December 1993 (on "Azusa" services), the trains feature a tilting mechanism. A total of 60 vehicles were built, formed as five 8-car main sets (numbers S1 to S5) and five 4-car supplementary (numbers S21 to S25) sets.

Accidents

On 12 October 1997, the down "Super Azusa 13" service from Shinjuku to Matsumoto (formed of sets S3+S23) was involved in a collision with a 201 series local train that had overrun a red signal while passing through Ōtsuki Station. Several cars were derailed and one car overturned. Five cars of set S3 were ultimately cut up on site, and replacements ordered from Hitachi. The replacement vehicles received the same running numbers as those they replaced.
