- Following the opening of the Tokaido Shinkansen, the 157 series trains that were withdrawn from express service on the Tokaido Main Line were repurposed for trains bound for the Izu area.
- Due to the need to couple two train sets, jumper connectors were added to the leading cars, resulting in a double-ended crossover structure.
- At the same time, signal flares and other equipment are being installed.
- The express train "Izu" operated with a maximum formation of 15 cars.
