The trains feature longitudinal bench seating throughout with blue moquette seat covers, and red moquette for priority seating at the ends of cars.[3] The moquette incorporates a pattern based on Arimatsu tie-dyeing designs for which Nagoya is famous.[3] 17-inch wide-aspect LCD passenger information displays are provided above alternate doorways, with four per car.[1]
