Set RE2 in original livery in April 2003

Built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Kinki Sharyo,[3] the first two sets were introduced from 28 April 1990.[4] These were followed by two more sets in 1992.[1]

The 251 series was awarded the 1991 Laurel Prize, presented annually by the Japan Railfan Club.[5] A formal presentation ceremony was held at Shinagawa Station in Tokyo on 1 March 1992.[6]

The fleet underwent a programme of refurbishment between December 2002 and March 2004, which included the addition of new seating, and repainting the sets into a new colour scheme.[2]

Withdrawal

From the start of the revised timetable on 14 March 2020, the 251 series sets were replaced by new E261 series sets on services between Tokyo and Izukyu-Shimoda, with the Super View Odoriko brand being replaced by new ultra-deluxe Saphir Odoriko services. The last 251 series Super View Odoriko limited express run took place on 13 March 2020. After their withdrawal, the trains were transferred to Nagano General Rolling Stock Center for scrapping. No 251 series cars have been preserved.[7]
