description

The 485 series is a limited express train that was introduced in 1968 and is compatible with direct current and 50Hz and 60Hz alternating current, which is representative of the Japanese National Railways. In the 1990s, many Joyful Trains of the same series were introduced, which were modified or newly built based on the 485 series, as a replacement for the passenger car type Joyful Trains that had been in service up until now.

The Resort Yamadori was introduced in 2011 to coincide with the Gunma Destination Campaign as a new 'fun train to ride'. The train was a re-modification of the previously used tatami-mat train 485 series Yamanami and Seseragi, with the exterior of the car body painted grape-colored No. 2 and deep light green, and the interior was changed from tatami-mat to seats. It was mainly used on the Agatsuma Line's limited express 'Resort Kusatsu' and rapid 'Resort Yamadori' bound for tourist spots, and the Joetsu Line's rapid 'Tanigawadake Mogura' and 'Tanigawadake Loop' trains that traveled around the border area. While other 485 series trains were being retired, in her later years she continued to work alongside the 485 series Utage and Hana, which were transferred to her as colleagues, but Utage will be retired on February 23, 2019, Hana on October 31, 2022, and the last remaining Resort Yamadori will be retired on December 11, 2022. With the retirement of Resort Yamadori, the '485 series', which has been in service for a long time since the days of Japanese National Railways through the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras, has been retired altogether.
