The Hankyu 2300 series (阪急電鉄2300系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type on order by the private railway operator Hankyu in Japan.

Overview

Details of the 2300 series, alongside the 2000 series, were first announced by Hankyu Railway on 6 October 2023. The 2300 series was developed for use on limited express services on the Kyoto Main Line.[1] The fourth car from the Osaka end, branded PRiVACE – a portmanteau of private and place – will be used for reserved-seat services,[2] which are due to be introduced in July 2024.[3]
