The 285 series "Sunrise Express" is a limited express sleeper train that was introduced in 1998.

Between Tokyo and Okayama, the "Sunrise Izumo" (Tokyo - Izumo City) 7-car train and the "Sunrise Seto" (Tokyo - Takamatsu) 7-car train are coupled together to form a 14-car train.

Although the basic performance is the same, JR West's 0 series and JR Central's 3000 series have different car body markings and underfloor equipment.

Since 2013, the line has been renovated with the addition of new pantographs and an expanded door step for passengers.

The product is produced in the form after the renewal implemented after 2013 (0 series is I3 formation, 3000 series is I5 formation).
